Good morning! Today was easy speedwork ...

1.5-mile warm-up
2 100s
1 200
1 400
1 100
.5-mile warm-up

I was so excited ... I got the best compliment today! I don't really consider myself "a runner," I just know I like to run. There was a new girl in our speedwork class today who, while I was finishing my 200 and she was finishing a 100, shouted out, "YOU ARE A RUNNER!" That made my day.

And to top it off, I'm celebrating 3 years of marriage with my awesome hubby today. :smile: YAY!

    Well hello there MFP Runners. Long time no see.:sad:

    I'm back and i'm going to start up on jogging again. It's going to take me a while to build up to what I once had, but i'll get there eventually. I'll be leaving for my workout in an hour and will report back shortly after.

    Wish me luck! :heart:

    Did a tempo run with the group last night. We ran a lap at the track with increasing speed, then 1/4 lap walk then repeat. I have really short legs and find that it is hard to increase my speed without increasing my stride! But slow and steady...........
    Have a great day!

    Hi everyone. Ran another 6 this evening. I was able to run outside - YAY! Half of my run was in the dark, but it was STILL better than that dreaded treadmill!

    I ran an easy 2 miles in 21 min. today. Tomorrow will be another 4 miler. Today it was grey and drizzling rain, but I warmed up quickly and then the mist was welcome! I found myself trying to run at my bf's pace at first, and he's a foot taller than I am, so I had to really run consciously and make myself slow down. I experimented with increasing my turnover toward the end without increasing my stride.
