Went out way to fast and felt sick at the end. Such a beautiful and unusually warm (60!) though, so it was great to be outside.

Had a piece of toast before running and started out much slower - a much better experience than yesterdays run!

Today we ran around an old golf course to run on some grass to give our legs a rest. It hurt! My ankles and calves are definitely not used to grass.

I met a new running friend! We did 7.51 miles at 8min/mile. She's so much faster than me and I had to keep asking her to slow down. It was fun though, I hope she'll want to go again.

5.5 miles in the dark without a side walk...I was running with 3 other ladies, it didn't make it less scary though! I don' think we will run that route at that time again.

I had an afternoon conference call and by the time I was out of it it was dark and rainy. I went to the gym and ran on the tredmill...with no motivation I managed to eek out a 4.5 mile walk/jog. It didn't help that there was a personal tv attached to the tredmill either.

I've been running so much with other people I think  I forgot how to run by myself. Either that or I'm just really tired. I ended up walking a lot of this - my motivation is gone. Do I need to take a break?  

 I am running a turkey trot on Thanksgiving - hopefully I'll be in better spirits.

Same as yesterday, something doesn't feel right at all.

 My boyfriend is flying up from California for thanksgiving and we are running the turkey trot together. It also means I'll have a running partner all weekend. If that and an endless supply of thanksgiving food/pie doesn't help, I dont know what will :-D

This run felt amazing!

10 minute jog then 5 minutes fast followed by 5 minutes slow repeats until I got back home.

Finished the 4.4 mile loop in 36.36.

 

I'm also almost at 100 miles this month...I don't think I've done that ever

**Just kidding, I've just never noticed that I've ran over 100 miles in a month**

I usually don't run the day before a race, just a super easy run to try it out.
