Four miles on the river trail with Julie. We ran on the cement and I think that aggravated my foot a little bit. Ill be sure to run on the pavement next time.

7.62 miles out on the river trail with friends :) 8:30 minute pace. 45 minutes elliptical. Not gonna lie.. I feel pretty exhausted right now... but I know with each passing week it will get easier and easier and I had a lot of FUN! :D James and Emily did around 28 minutes for their 5 K. James said he slowed down the last .50 because he thought they had another 2 miles to go. Otherwise he would have booked it. Not bad for not training and just waking up one day and deciding he was gonna do it. Emily's husband was 21 something. (Who is a soccer excellent soccer player)Proud of my whole family for running! Congrats guys! and thank you to all my lovely friends who ran with me this morning :)

Weights. 3.4 miles on the TM. Ran to the river trail and back to a church where we were parked. Average pace was between 8:15 and 8:35 the whole time!!!

Hobbler half, here I come!! Huzzah!

No weights. I was over it. I stayed up late last night watching the avengers. I just wanted to put in my time and get out and go back to bed! 8.10 miles on the TM. A little more then half of that was at the pace I like to run at 8:34. Soon I should be able to keep that pace all through out my run soon.. Though I do need to go outside more and work on that as well. 40 minutes arc machine.

Weights. I came late so I had to hurry. Ran 6.34 the first 3.4 miles I ran at a 8:34 pace which makes me proud because the new treadmills seem to be faster and more accurate then the old ones. If I could just keep running that pace the whole time. Baby steps I suppose :) Happy Friday. Seeing the Avengers tonight! Thor.. *Drool*
