I do it for sanity!

Longest run since November of 2009 this morning so I am feeling pretty decent about it :). Truth be told I have slacked this winter and with Boston coming up soon, I had better get crackin. I am not attempting to make some record time at Boston but I would like to be able to run the event feeling decent! Tyler is going to run this year with me so we want to run it for the experience rather then a time. Got to get some long miles in so that we can feel well enough during the course to enjoy it!! I am looking forward to it!

This morning I met up with the Heidi's for our trek. We started and walked a bit here and there over the first 6 miles so we had to tack on distance so that we actually ran 12 miles. I had a baptism that I needed to get home and ready for so my mind was a bit consumed with that. We turned at the 6 mile point and started heading home and my watch beeped at me that the data base was full. I attempted to clear a couple of entries so that I could record the run I was in the middle of but accidentally cleared the entire memory so I was starting from scratch for the last 6 miles. I think we averaged a 8:45ish for the first 6 miles though. As we started home, we got to about mile 9 and I looked at my watch to check the time, OH NO, I was supposed to be home RIGHT NOW!! And I still had 3 miles to go. I told the Heidi's I had to book it home so I tried to speed up slightly and get my booty for home. I ended up averaging an overall 8:36 for the last 6 miles and made it to the baptism about 9 minutes late is all. It was a nice run and a nice Saturday :)

Full 57 minute workout with Taunya this morning (from "Physique 57" of course).  Killer workout!! I am LOVING these videos :)

Another very late night last night resulting in not getting up this morning so I settled for 5 treadmill miles tonight :).  It wasn't that bad tonight! Ran the first 2 miles at 8:43, then the next 2 at 8:30ish pace and ended the last mile at 8:20.  It was nice~
 

So,as life sometimes goes (running the kids, family time, etc. )I DVR'd the Bachelor Finale and didn't start watching it until 10:00PM.  My cute friend JaNae came over and joined me and we didn't end up finishing our "bachelor party" until 12:30 in the morning.  Hence, me sleeping in and not getting up to do anything. So, I got off work and decided to get a few miles in before Tuesday night took it's toll also.  I ran out 2 miles and home to get warmed up and then did the express 30 minute Physique workout again.  Its a good all over body workout that really kicks my keester.  I felt like it was a good workout :)

Running AP: 8:16 (nice to get on the low end of a 8 minute pace for a change. It's about time :).

"New Leaf" with Heidi C this morning!! It was a much better run then Saturday's attempt but still have this little situation going on with my stomach and lacking energy.  I think we averaged about a 8:45 pace.  Good to get the week started off in the right direction though :)
