Ran to Gold's, lifted on legs and did some abs and then ran back home.  The way home is sooooo much better.  I think it's a little downhill and it goes so much faster.  The way there was not great this morning.  I don't know why I wasn't feeling it.  I think it takes me a few miles to warm up so that could be part of it too.  But I'm glad I got up and exercised since yesterday  I had to sleep in.  I had to.  I had been up way late beating my hubby and friends in Monopoly.  It rocked.

Ran to track and around 4 times and then back home to get 4.  My leggings are sore sore today.  And my left ankle was hurting during the run.  I'm not sure why.  Anyone have any ideas why my ankle would bug?  I didn't turn it or roll it that I'm aware of.

All of the little Mtn. View cheerleaders were running around the track, loved passing all the 15 year olds.  ha ha glad I can even pass someone.

I'm going to do shred tonight. 

I did 3.1 in a little under 26 minutes and then everthing slowed way down after that.  Made it to 4.5 in 39 minutes.  It's actually faster than I felt like I was running so that's good.  I knew I was going slow and it felt like 10 min miles toward the end. Last year i bought the little nike attachment for your ipod.  It tells you your pace, distance and how long you've been running.  The only problem is it's not very accurate.  Today it said I was running 6 min miles, ha ha I wish that with my whole heart but it's not true.  So I haven't used it in a long time but today I realized that it can atleast work as a timer.  Hopefullyl it's even accurate in how long it says I've been running.

But good news, I think I'm getting a garmin for my b-day which is in August.  But it will have to be an early bday pres, because I want it NOW!

No Chee-leaders today.  Just 5 year olds playing baseball in the middle of the track.  One about hit me in the head with a ball, yikes.

Average pace for 3.1= 8:39

Average pace for entire run= 8:55

Today I was going to bike to gym and do weights and all these awesome things. Did I? No. Because I was so so tired! And also the rain outside depressed me so I stayed in bed.  I'll atleast bike tonight if not do weights too.  So stay tuned.  There may be a PM workout for me after work.

Say hello to my new best friend: GARMIN!  It came and happy early birthday to me, thank you husband.

But I can't quite figure out how everything works.  I don't know how to show my splits.  I may need everyone's help on that. 

Anyway I started at Will's and ran up the canyon same as last saturday but I went a little farther up so that I could get 8.  I stopped for a drink at the fountain up the canyon and forgot to push start again on the watch. Luckily I noticed .35 miles later so even though my garmin says I only ran 7.67 I really ran 8. 

7.67 in 1:12 So I'm thinking 8 in 1:15 or so.  Not as fast as I want to be but still feeling good.  I wish I could have it show my splits because I know my first few  miles were around 8:30 and that's where I want to be.  Stopped at Golds on my way home and lifted on legs and abs.  I felt much better today than last weekend, sorry you had to see me like that merri :)  And next saturday I better be feeling good since I'll be running the freedom festival 10k. 

Anyway great workout and I love my new friend!
