I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Went out at 8:00 this morning. It was a little too hot and windy. Decided to be diligent about easy/hard days so today was way easy. Kept it to an AP of 9:24. I felt awesome until the last mile heading into the wind uphill. I started to feel kind of yucky. I didn't eat anything before I went and my stomach started to feel yuck. Overall, a great run and very relaxing. Now, we'll see if I can actually pull my butt out of bed and meet the group tomorrow morning. I've really enjoyed sleeping in this past week. 

BTW, my brother (peej on the blog, but he never blogs) just finished his 1st full Iron Man on Sunday so tell him good job and maybe we can get him back blogging.

So, I couldn't pull myself out of bed early this morning. So, I started running later again. It wasn't as hot as yesterday but it was SO windy! I averaged around 8:30 for the first 4 miles but then turned uphill in the wind and slowed significantly and averaged 8:45 for the last couple of miles. I didn't eat or drink anything before I went out and I can really tell on my energy level. Some people don't need to eat but I don't think my body dips in to my reserve enough so I feel like I have to eat something. Anyway, that's that!

I was going to run with the group this morning but we ended up having ALL our kids gone last night so I decided to sleep in with the husband. He rode his bike with me down on the JRP trail while I ran. We started at 10:30, too HOT! I started nice and slow and gradually got faster. I averaged around 9:00 for the first 5 miles and 8:30 for the last 5. Overall 8:45. I felt good.
