Today was a bit better than yesterday.  Ran w/ my partner yesterday and today!  We make an awesome couple.  She is still recovering from her back injury and I'm coughing up lungs!!  Why do we do this to ourselves???

Went to Seven Peaks by myself today!  That was an interesting experience.  Not many people go to that kind of activity by themselves.

Went swimming tonight to prepare for a sprint triathlon in 3 weeks.  I am so dead in the water!  Need way more than 3 weeks to get ready for this.  Oh well, what's a girl to do? ;-)

Best run I have had all week.  Not particularly fast, but I wasn't coughing up a lung.  My running partner is still quite sore but she still beats me!

This was a tough race.  Every year I tell myself I'm just going to run to enjoy the scenery and every  year I run as fast as I can.  It hurts at the end and I ask myself why I do it.

The weather was great.  The start was horrible.  Just too many people and I should have started closer to the start.  Their clock had me two minutes slower than my Garmin.  I posted my Garmin time instead of their time.

Avg mile pace was 8:00 min

333rd of 1767 runners

124th of 1156 women

16th or 193 for my age group.

For my level of training and the my horrible cold I had for the 10 days prior to the race, I'm very pleased w/ my time.  I would love to get 1:40 next year.

It did make me question why I signed up for a marathon.  I must be insane!!!

This morning was a good run.  Still fairly tight from the race this weekend.  After running I went to the gym and swam for 20 minutes.  Have a triathlon on the 30th.  I'm so nervous about the swimming.  You know, people actually die while swimming!

Today was a good run.  I think my running partner is almost good as new.  She sure kicked my butt this a.m. 

Didn't eat well yesterday so I was dragging.  Avg mile pace was 9:02 or something like that.

Rode 4 miles on bike when I was done running.  Going to try to run everyday and alternate bike and swim to get ready for the triathlon!

Today is cross-training.  Hope to go swimming after work.  I have my swim suit, etc w/ me so I can just stop @ any Gold's Gym along my travels today.  Whether I will or not is another question.  My younger kids are w/ their dad this evening so there should be no reason not to!!!

It was a pretty good run.  Ran a different route.  It's good to have a change of scenery.

The first 10 miles of this run was enjoyable.  I won't say anything about the rest.  It would have been better, I think, if I had more sleep and better nutrition.  My dinner the night before was one small piece of pizza.  Nothing to eat the morning of.

Running partner cancelled and I didn't have the heart to go on my own!  I know, complete slacker!

I did play volleyball and rode my bike w/ kids to scouts and grocery store.  Total of about 9 miles or so.
