Felt like the easiest 5 miles of my life. I ran the first two miles by myself in Plain City (from mom's to the square and back). Then Darrin and I ran three together. I know I was slower than he wanted to go and I told him more than once that he could go faster. But he stayed with me. I never felt tired or weak or like I wanted to walk. That's a first for me!

Felt sluggish. I guess I prefer to run on flat land and not up and down. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Felt OK til the end. When I started up the last hill I last my motivation. I like to run downhill or on flat surfaces.

This was supposed to be a 7 mile run. I took a wrong turn that ended up being a dead end road. I felt discouraged. After back tracking and making up for lost time I headed home. I am glad it still ended up being so close to 7 miles. Next week my long run is 8 miles. I may be headed to PC or to the parkway.

Park City sounds like fun, why are you going there? Good job on your running. It is waaay easier to just do in the morning and get it over with. Keep up the good work!

Ran with Sabrina. Nice run. It rained last night so it was cool. We ran up to Glassman then to Edgewood and back around 37th and then BelMar. We had a nice pace. I mostly talked the whole time. I would like to go a bit faster (especially when it is flat or downhill). Sabrina goes the same pace no matter what. I like running with her for the company and that I know I have to get out of bed early to meet her. If I was just going by myself I would probably run around 8 or 9 am and then it would be way too hot.

Nice job Jen! There are lots of people that say the key to running is getting a good partner. Have you tried going faster on the flats or downhills to see what she will do?

I miss running with Sabrina. I completely missed my run on Friday and Saturday. Today I slept 45 minutes longer than I wanted to. I didn't realize how nice it was meeting someone ealry in the morning. My run was muggy but it was overcast and slightly cool. I had a mile to go and then there was a complete downpour. It was a wonderful way to cool off after my run.

My goal was to do 10. I started my run at 6:10 am on an empty stomach. I should have eaten something before hand. I was going to do two five mile laps. The first five by myself and then the second five mile loop with Sabrina. I ran about 4 miles and felt weak so I cut off the last section of my run. Then I had some water and GU at home. Then Sabrina and I started off on our five mile run at 7:00 am. Right after we ran one mile her knee popped so we took the rest of the run slow and shortened it quite a bit.

Good run. For the last week or so I have been having a really small bowl of cereal before I go running. I haven't had any bathroom problems, and I don't feel hungry. I do use skim milk though.
