My hubby is working from home today so I though I would get in a run before I had to be at the gym for swimming. I am so excited that it's lighter in the morning so I can start running earlier...well at least I thought I was excited! Figured I would get the run in so I didn't have to rush to the gym with the kids. I planned to go 4-5 miles since it was nice and I didn't have to hurry. Thank goodness I didn't have to hurry because I felt slow. Might be because of my speed work yesterday and that I didn't eat before the run and it was a lot earlier than more normal running time. Whatever it was, it made a difference. The good stuff is that I ran 4.60 miles and it was nice out.
3.1.10 Stats:
Miles: 4.60
Pace: 10:31
Time: 48:22
Calories lost: 606
848.85 - 4.60 = 844.25 miles left to run in 2010

Speedwork on SUNDAY 2.28.10
Total miles for the day: 1.88
Did a quick warm-up with the jogging stroller. I haven't used this for a long time. I think Cole really enjoyed it...even if it was for less than a mile. My husband had perfect timing and was on his way home as we finished up our warm-up and he walked Cole home so I could do the real work on the track.
Started off great until I had to go to the bathroom...(sorry for TMI) but as a runner I know you get that. Only got 2 fast laps in and 2 recovery laps in. These are hard, but I know they will help me as a runner...They have too!
Lap 1: 7:02
Lap 2: 10:26
Lap 3: 8:16
Lap 4:10:47
I went off so fast for my first lap that I couldn't keep up the pace the rest of lap 1. Knowing that I had more to do I started slowing down. I need to get used to these and learn how to breathe. Do you realize how BIG a track is? I keep forgetting until I have to run fast around them.
844.25 - 1.88 = 842.37 miles left to run in 2010

nice run and score on the Bondi! One can never have too many!
I have like 7 bondibands. I LOVE them!!!!
Great run. and great speed work.
I just got some bondi bands, and will break one out for my Shamrock Run this weekend!
Thank you! I need all the prayers you can give:) I am glad you got it, I just put every stamp on there we had in the house. And it is totally acceptable to give away a give away!
Glad your long run was easier than last week's long run- improvement!
Maybe you were tired on the 4.6 miler because the last two runs were hard (long and speed)- a good reason to be tired, for sure! : )
Keep up the awesome work!! You are doing great:) You are right it does smell like spring!!
Just ordered my first (two) bondis. Can't wait!
Am I the only one who does not have a bondi? Well, I have to fix that!
You are certainly getting some good runs in.
Great job! I have to laugh at your blog name...great minds....
Thanks for your answer. I didn't understand how Italy was related to snakes in your comment. Thanks again.
Oh I soooo need to order a bondi..I think I will right now!
I don't have a bondiband, but I am so intrigued by them!
Sounds like your runs are going really well! Those fast days are difficult. Really difficult. I'm proud of you! Keep it up.
