consistent running is beginning to wear on my body. I have to make a concerted effort to stretch properly and eat good, wholesome foods to make it through. Next week is a recovery week though!

temp = 60 F

distance: 5.37

Holy ridiculous wind, batman! In colorado, our very warm winter days are almost always accompanied with high winds, and I managed to go out for my run during the worst of them! Winds were 30 mph stead, with gusts to 45. I didn't think it would affect me that much, but when I had the full headwind, I couldn't even keep a running pace - I had to walk. I had the headwind on the way back, and I hasn't figured out why running was so hard - maybe i didn't have a good breakfast, maybe weights on thursday tired me out, etc. In the last 7 minutes, I turned 90 degrees and had a crosswind, and all my stength came back! it was DEFINITELY the wind that slowed me down. Still, I'm glad I got out and did the miles.

temp = 59 F (!)
clothes = tights, short sleeve shirt
- I got a twinge hot, tomorrow I'm wearing shorts! yay! -
distance = 3.0
time = 34:58
pace = 11:39 min/mile
This run was intentionally short and slow to provide some active recovery from yesterday's fast run, and tomorrow's longer run. It was a wonderful warm and non-windy day in colorado, and I really enjoyed seeing so many people out on the trail.
Also, my (boring) blog has a follower! please introduce yourself, random man!

Time: 34:36
Distance: 3.37
Pace: 10:16 min/mile
The run felt GREAT! I think playing with the speed on the treadmill helped my legs feel what it felt like to go fast, and told my brain that I didn't have to run as slow as I had been going. I did this run on the foothills trail, which has some hills, and I felt really strong going up each one, and wasn't tempted to walk at all. I've never been a consistent runner, but now I'm really beginning to believe that 6 30 minute runs are much better than 2 1.5 hour runs.

Treadmill again - wore tank top and felt more comfortable
Distance = 4.00
Time = 0:45:00
pace: 11:15 min/mile
Another treadmill run, although this one had a little LCD screen so I could watch Alton Brown for my 45 minutes. Is it bad that I watch shows about cookies while exercising? haha. anyway, I was happy that I had NO stomach pain or ab pain this run! It seems like every run so far I've had a little stomach twinge or cramp - nothing big, but a bit irritating. This one felt really good. I'm finally beginning to feel like I'm getting my fitness back!
