| This was my first long run in a long time. I finished the last three at a 8.01 pace. It felt good. I was a little sore the next day. I need to get in the habit of rolling at night. |

| I did a speed work out today. I wanted to start slow due to the injuries I have acquired the last two years. I did a mile warm-up and then I did 400 intervals starting at 8.5 and increased .1 each 400 until I got to 9.0. I then did a cool down mile. Again, did not stretch or roll...must do this! |

| First tempo run this year. I did a mile warm-up and a mile cool down with a tempo run with a 8.0-8.20 pace. Still no stretch. Focusing on eliminating wheat and logging food to see what is working and what is not. |

| I did a "long" run today. Yesterday was kind of a crap day of eating on the run, birthday party food, etc. I got a good nigths sleep. Ate a two egg spinach, broccoli, mushroom omelet for breakfast. Had coffee and an orange. I ran 6.02 miles with an elevation of 107, pace of 8:57, time of 53:51, and 733 calories burned. Dinner was Quinoa, carrot, and mushroom soup with a bowl of raspberries, kiwi, blackberries, and blueberries. I also have eaten two Dove Dark chocolates today and two large glasses of water. I will be on the road this week so I will need extra discipline to get my workouts in. |

| I was gone at PD this week. I was able to get a speed workout in at the hotel. I did a mile warm up and then I did 400 repeats starting at 8.5 and going up .1 each 400 until I was at 9.0. I then did a mile cool down. I found I struggled a little as the speed got faster. My legs were struggling. I didn't have much sleep the night before and was pretty tired so that might have something to do with it. I also had eaten wheat that day which I had been avoiding for a while. |

| I ran a tempo run tonight. I did a .14 mile warm up. I then ran two miles at a pace of 8:00 minutes a mile. The last mile I ran at a pace of 7:30-7:45. I did struggle with the hills in the last mile and needed to jump off quick. I was extremely tired before I worked out. I didn't have nearly enough water today and breakfast and lunch were both sparse. I need to get back into a good rountine after being gone for a few days. |

| Today was a slow run. This week my plan is to add more days of running. I felt like I could have gone farther and had originally planned on it, but there were some issues that prevented that from happening. |

My focus this week is to start logging more days of running per the advice I received in the forum. I ran an easy 4.86 today. I mapped the Courtland route I run outside on a regular basis. I also did some light strength training and foam rolling when I was done. My average pace was 9:41. Cupboards are getting fairly bare so my eating was not the best today:
breakfast: tea and flourless peanut butter cookie
Lunch: snap peas, cutie
Dinner: sweet potato/blackbean chili
Lots of Dove Dark Chocolates, a few chips |

| Ran a warm-up and cool down mile at 10:00 and 9:15 paces. In between, I ran three 800 repeats at 7:30, 7:30, and 7:19. I also did two sets of arms: flies, row, lats, tri ext, curls, press. Running out of groceries so meals have been fairly weak. Tomorrow is a grocery day! |

| Tonight was a struggle. The plan was to run a 5k @ an 8:00 minute per mile pace. I got the first two miles in but started to struggle. My heart rate jumped up to 171 and I begin to feel nauseous. I did finish at a slower pace and averaged 9:00 minutes per mile. I am going to try switching it up and running in the morning to see if that makes a difference. |
