    2.12 mile trail run today. Makes me really happy. It was faster than I expected on a course like this weekend's course. Of course, not as far, but I don't really trail run, so I was glad it went faster.

    got a 4 miler done on the elliptical, 170 BPM average! hard work out! my foot is good to go tomorrow - so I am hoping for 2 loops around the neighborhood - loopy and hilly, great combination (:

    Check point on Saturday! (: and my mudrace is on Sunday - I will try to get my DH to take pictures (if he dare to take his phone with him).

    4 miles this morning in the pouring rain. It was cool but my shoes got heavy when they were soaked and hair gel dripped in my eyes. Well worth it though! :happy:

    3.2 miles today in the woods. Big ol hill that I killed. Fastest mile. But I started the race too fast and wasn't as fast at the end. Still, I ran the whole way, which is my first 5K race of all running.

    Last night I ran 2 miles because I was nervous for my meet!!
    BUT

    6k cross country meet today. I moved 3 spots up on my team! I PRed by 30 seconds. my time was 27:21 (3.73 miles at a 7:20 min mile pace. ((8.2 mph))... anyways!

    warm up & cool down was about another 30 min, so it was about 7 miles from today & 2 from yesterday, so I'm adding 9 total

    I'm actually tappering with week, so idk if i will meet the 200, but we will see!!

    great progress everyone!

    You all go fast and go long so I almost get embarrassed to put in my numbers because geez I work for them, meager though they are. Today I can tell that I tried REALLY hard at yesterday's race. I wish that level of effort translated into faster and longer, but that will come, I keep telling myself.

    Today I did 1 mile in an assessment workout. The cool thing is that my zones all moved up about 4 minutes in pace each (micoach uses blue green yellow and red zones to indicate higher level of work and then coaches you to speed up or slow down). So that's pretty rad. It means I'm a lot healthier. It was the first workout of my new Race a 5K (and don't embarrass yourself again) plan. I'm hoping that this is where the speed comes from and that I have it at the 5K I'm planning on New Year's Day. In the Cold, White North. Hope I don't regret that.

    Anyway, thanks for allowing me to hang with all you speedsters. Barbie, congrats on your PR.

    Congrats on moving up in your zones! The good times will come - just keep at it :) I'm running a NYE race here in Ottawa. While I would like it to be like last year's NYE , something tells me I won't get that lucky :\

    Finished the 5K mud race today - at a very slow pace - I had a very difficult time (slowdown) with the obstacles, LOL - it was fun.

    I will update the spread sheet tomorrow - sorry for being so behind this week ....

    .... super busy with my parents 50th wedding anniversary and party (: But FUN though.

    Ran a 5k race today, first in about 2 years. I did well, finished 8th out of 53. I was 3rd in my age group and finished in 23:24, which was good enough to PR by 2 minutes and 57 seconds...my average pace ended up at 7:33...very fast for me....overall a good day....although there was some lingering leg soreness near my shin, orginally felt on the long run Friday night...might have to take a few days off to heal a bit...
