Gayle, congratulations on your 5k PR! That's a big improvement in two months! DS15 and I had a fun 5k race this morning. It was 35 degrees and snowing lightly - felt chillier than 35! I warmed up about a mile before the race, which I hadn't done before since I was never sure I could even run the 3.1 miles! From the first few steps, I knew I was going to have a good race, because my feet felt so light! I beat my previous PR by almost 3 minutes, in 31:35. My first mile time was 9:48, and I've never run a mile that fast! Such fun. It's nice to know that building up my mileage is paying off. DS was hoping for 17:00, and he came in at 16:55. He was mad at himself, because he started out too fast - his first mile was 4:53! He was still happy to get a PR, though. I ran 24.6 miles last week, including an 8.2-mile run. I'm hoping for 26 miles or so this week. Have a great week! Teresa

PRs are so great! Congrats Gayle. I'm finally running again. Did easy 3 mile loop on Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat, Sunday. I'm going slow but at least I'm out there moving again. Kenny

Wow, Gayle and Teresa! Nice improvements!!! Cool

This week was an "off" one for me, and not intentionally. (Can I pretend it was? Tongue

) Mon: intentional rest day. Tues: great trail run. 5.2 miles. Wed: too tired after clinicals to run or workout... Thurs: was going for 4 miles around the lake but pulled a calf muscle at 1 3/4 miles. Fri: limping around the house. Sat: Life happens. Got a new cat... unwillingly. Sun: 1.79 on the TM Total: 8.9 miles, no tkd workouts. Looking forward to a better week next week! Modified to add in tonight's unintentionally short workout!

A good week for me. Graduate from C25K! Monday--2.63 Wednesday--2.62 Friday--2.79 Friday I did my race route (race is Easter Sunday) and inexplicably took almost a minute off my usual mile pace! Felt good. Total this week was 8.04 miles. Another weekly mileage record. That bunny is going to start to get nervous soon.

Eh...I'm not too pleased with my numbers this week. I'm dying for spring or at least the snow to melt off the sidewalks enough so I can run outdoors again. I'm sick of the treadmill. M - off T - 4.2 W - off TH - 4 F - off S - 5k race that I sucked at. the course was very hilly and I haven't done hills or ran outside since November. Plus side, I did get my sister out there even though she walked a very large portion of it. Su - 2.33 random hill workout on the treadmill 13.8 miles So after my disappointing race I am adding 1 hill workout each week.

Not bad for me. Sundays run was tough due to all the yard work this weekend. And yes, the weather was much better this week. Mon - 4.16 Tue - Off Wed - 9.03 Shocked

Thurs - off Fri -off Sat - off Sun - 4.53 Total - 17.72 I really need to get my Saturday run in on Sat instead of Sunday. I think it might be time for a fourth day of running too.

Not a bad week for me: Mon - 3.8 mi Wed - 3.8 mi Fri - 2.6 mi Sat - 2.3 mi Total - 12.5 mi I bailed on the Saturday run, short 1.5 mi from my goal, after the weather did a quick change on me and I found myself cold and with a wicked 'freezing ear headache'. I ended up biking indoors on sun and adding 2 miles to the bike to make up for Saturday. My goal this week is 14 miles. I'm slowly catching up on the bunny. Gayle - congrats on the PR obiebyke - congrats on finishing c25k. BTW, I adore your avatar. I stop to read your posts just so I can look, and smile, at your kitty. D - good start after 2 months off.
