4.2.08

Today I went out to really start training for the marathon. I ran a 10 k . The first 5 K were up the side of a mountain which I probably went up about 250meters. It was great running uphill. I kept a good pace. On the way down I experienced some discomfort in my chest and neck. It must have been because I was running on a road. If you click on the link below you can see the run and the distance in a map view.

Today was a very heavy day for me.  I did a combination of track and road workout with the team.  It was a pretty nice day out:)  The first day in a while that I’ve been able to wear shorts and a t-shirt.  I was tight still from Monday’s workout, but I pulled through.  Here’s in an overview:

4.3.08	6 out of 10. . .definitely tight.
1.5 mile warm-up, 6×100m
1×400m, 12×200m, 1×400m
5×100m strides
4.5 mile cool-down run
	Total Miles:  9.5

4.1.08

Today I ran 5.35 miles. It was broken up into three parts. 1.25 mile warm-up, 4×100m, 3.1 mile loop, 800m on the track, and then 5×100m strides to finish. It was really windy and cold this morning. The practice went by fast though and that was good. I kept yawning this morning and it was pretty hard to get through, but I kept at it:) I also ordered these new necklaces that are supposed to balance out your body with ions etc. I am not sure, but Aug read about them so I ordered them today for us. We’ll see if they make a difference in our training:)

Today I ran a nice 5 K.  It was a nice run.  I ran it in 22 minutes which is not a horrible pace but alright.  I ran a smaller distance today because I am going to run a longer one tomorrow.  I did alright but I did was not totally happy.  I let Sarah put hers up first this time hehe
