    Saturday's long run was pretty awesome! 11 miles in 1:52:58. I only paused briefly at two intersections to wait for the light to change so I could safely cross the street.

    Felt good this morning, ran with my buddy and she was doing the 6 miles on our Higdon plan... felt great, weather was nice (mid 20s F, but sunshine) so rather than pull off at the 5 mile mark I had planned for, I did the 6 with her. 6.03 miles in 59:39
    I missed my long run yesterday as I was ill so need to try fit in more sessions this week. I am inching closer to a sub 30 min 5k parkrun, 30:34 on Saturday

    I had a really tough day yesterday, so I only managed a short run, but I felt better having got it done

    I sulked my way to the gym yesterday because the cold rain kept me off the bicycle. 12.5 miles in 1 hour on the stationary bike. Scheduled for 5 miles running with speed intervals today.

    Weather here today was glorious! Well into the 40s F, so i did my 4 miles ( in 40:46 ) That leaves me back to back 3 mile days and then my long of 7 on the weekend, when it's supposed to snow again. I may push thru and do it Friday just so I don't have to dreadmill it! Today I felt like my lung capacity might have been different... Hard to believe since I'm not even really showing yet, and the baby is the size of a plum! But, somehow it was harder breathing. Could have been the different air i was noticing I suppose. I may have to drive so as to have a less hilly route as we get farther along!

    5k this evening 28:27. After I spent 2 hours clearing an ice bank left from the snow plow at the end of my driveway. Now my driveway is flooding, due to the warm temperatures LOL

    5 mile run yesterday with speed intervals. My instructions were-
    5 miles
    Warm up 1 mile.
    6 x (1/2 mile increasing your speed each one. Like the first one start at your normal pace, then next one just a bit faster, the next one a bit faster, etc. Your last one should be uncomfortable.) After each one, walk for 2 min.
    Cool down to make 5 miles.

    I used a day from the half training plan on my RunDouble app to track the intervals:

    The last 1/2 mile segment was definitely "uncomfortable", but I quickly recovered and finished the five miles in a respectable time. I should have turned off the auto-pause feature on Strava, because it paused during some of the walking intervals and didn't pause during others.

    Ceci_O_K that looks like a great workout, I'm very impressed! Nicely done!

    3.10 miles in 30:09 this afternoon. Ran part of that with my sweatshirt off and only a tank top. I Didn't check, but it was well past 50! Ran out and hubby brought me home on the snowmobile, that's always fun.

    It was 72F yesterday when I went out to run! Thankfully I had packed shorts and short sleeved shirt. For whatever reasons, yesterday's run was tough! It was hot, I started out too fast, I was tired from the previous day's run (and lack of sleep). But I pushed through and finished 10k in 1:03:

    Scheduled for 4 miles today. It is supposed to rain, so it will be a last minute decision as to whether I will run outside or in the gym. My girls' bike group is planning a ride today too, if it's not raining.

    Managed a 4 mile run and my group ride with the girls yesterday before the rain came! Will try to make today a rest day, as I have an 11 mile run planned for tomorrow (but no promises!)

    7.11 miles in 1hr 10mins today. Felt defeated before I'd even begun, which was disappointing. Running buddy had the brilliant idea to get dropped off 7 miles (our Higdon plan milage) from her house and run home. It felt awful, we drove out and all i could think as we got farther and farther away was how i wasnt going to make it. And, to make matters worse, she had a limited time frame i didnt know about. So, overall im happy with my time and how i felt. During the run though i kept feeling like i was going slow, and holding her back. She kept with me for 5, then the last 2 she broke away and picked up her pace a bit... first time she has ever schooled me. That awkward moment when the buddy I pulled into running with me out ran me. Sigh.

    You guys are doing great!

    My long run on Saturday was good and bad. I finished the 11 miles in just over 2 hours, but had to walk a few times more than I would have liked. It was a very hilly course and the walking parts were on the worst of the hills. I'm very frustrated with my legs! Breathing is fine, heartrate is fine, the legs just give out too easily!

    I ran an easy 2 miles (20:11) on Sunday followed by a leisurely 25 miles on the bike with a good friend. The weather was perfect and we had so much fun just cruising along!

    My plan had 3 miles, my usual route, so 3.21 miles in 30:59. I was happy with that... i wasnt feeling so great today, and had taken the whole weekend off, so I wasn't too hopeful. Add in a bit of knee pain on my 7 miler friday and I was feeling out of sorts to begin. As soon as I got cruising, it was good... maybe there is hope for my half after all! Added bonus of pregnant running? Solves all my constipation issues! Go out blocked up, and run right home to go to the bathroom! Lol!

    You all are lucky just to be running outside LOL. I envy you all.
    Rest day today.
    5K tomorrow, hopefully outdoor.

    Rather than rest as planned yesterday, I ran with a friend from work. She came in early in the day and said, "I brought my running gear, let's do it!" Since I'm the reason she started running in the first place, I ran with her. 3 slow miles with some walking breaks.

    4.05 miles in 38:25 didn't feel good doing it, but I'm happy with the time. Cold and windy with a sleet drizzle. It was pretty miserable, but it's done!

    3.25 miles in 32:49, went a bit slower as I had already loaded/unloaded/stacked 80 bales of hay and was worried about overdoing it today. 29 F but with windchill it felt like 16. Back to bundled up but yesterday was worse, so i took that as my rest day!
