I had very tough week re-entring from vacation and had decided to take a break from running, take care of work and family and just be re-energized the next week. I had forgotten about this race and my husband has to cover it for work and said you stand a good chance of winning, so you might as well run. It was a pretty decent course, I am just not prepared to run a 5K. I looked at my watch at 3.1 and it read 23:35 so 1:50 off my PR from earlier this year but on a tougher course. Good: I stayed strong and didn't give up which has pretty much been the theme for the past year +. Bad: I have lost speed, Overall, I had a good time, enjoyed myself which I am trying to do and maybe I will start running more 5ks....maybe. PM: 4 mile easy run with Jenny, my favorite kind of run.

| In Kentucky for work and was going to run after our meeting. I walked for 2 miles while chatting with a colleague and then started running. At almost the 2 mile mark, could decided if I was going puke or have other needs of a bathroom immediately. Called it a day. |

| I had planned on meeting Jenny at the Y so we could run together but each at our own pace. She wasn't feeling well, so I went outside and it was great! Best run I have had for a very long time. I had decided to run by feel and did for the most part and turned it into a progressive tempo. I stopped at the church (2.5) and Y (6) for water had a very good time. The last .5 of the tempo was very hard and forced because I could not relax, but the rest of the run was very relaxed and free. Avg Pace 8:11 Splits: 8:46, 8:41, 8:22, 8:14, 7:59, 7:49, 7:49, 8:10, 7:57, 8:08, 8:15

| Met Jenny at the Y for some treadmill miles that were much harder than they should have been. | | Add Comment |

| In NY and on the hotel treadmill. The plan was for 1 min on/off, but I only lasted a mile of that and was overheating. The gym was hot and my feet felt like they were going to melt. | | Add Comment |

| Six miles on my treadmill at home. Only the second time I have ran on it since we moved to Texas. I finally figured out how to set up my ipad so I am not staring at a blank wall. |

| Early miles on my own and having to break out the winter gear. Crazy to think last week I was wearing shorts and t-shirts. I ended up doing a progressive tempo for 4 miles: 8:24, 8:09, 7:57, 7:32. Avg Pace 8:22

| Jenny and I agreed to run together on Christmas Day, but that was before we knew how bad the weather was going to be. We ended up with snow today and temps of 29 degrees but with a wind chill making it feel like 15. We braved the elements, which were not so bad, and headed out. We ended up with 4 miles and called it because it was starting to get icy. Once home, I changed clothes and then headed up to my treadmill for 4 more miles and another failed attempt at speedwork. I know that I am not running enough to do speedwork and that the more I run it will get easier, so I am trying not to worry too much. Merry Christmas! Avg Pace outdoors: 9:29 Avg Pace treadmill: 8:15

| Another chilly morning - 26 degrees. I did almost the same route as Monday, just did not head as far south. 3 miles warming up and then on/off for the next three - using intersections as the switch point. Each segment was not equal but some good pushing along the way. 1 mile cool down and then done. Avg Pace 8:18

| The temp read 41 degrees but with wind and a foggy mist, it felt much colder. 6 easy miles with Jenny, uneventful and unexciting.

| Met Ashley and Wendy at the store to run with the group. We ended up running out on the trail, up Hidden Hill and then back down Bailey. Ended up with miles and felt great the entire time....other than the fact it was cold. Just before the hill, there is a section of the train that is always colder and for that half mile (out & back) my hands froze. Avg Pace 8:49
