I’ve made it through the week so far without deviating from the training plan. Although I did modify the hill workout today, the option I choose was actually written. So once again I was a good girl, which is totally going to trash my reputation. Either of the workouts given were fine, but I […]
I was incredibly tired this morning. Getting less than four hours of sleep last night didn’t promote any enthusiasm when the alarm went off at 4:15 am. I’ve had a series of great runs this week. Each of them has gone to plan and it would be nice to keep it that way. My mind […]
Yes, it’s a speed workout day again. I don’t know if it’s because of all the training time lost last week or the bite of reality that reminded me I’m halfway through the training plan, but I was ready for this one. Well, perhaps not completely organized. Last night I thought it was 800’s and […]

For the first time since Saturday, I got to enjoy a good ol’ regular training run. It was fun doing things a little differently the last few days. It also made me appreciate how easy it is for me to slip out the door every morning with plenty of choices for how and where to […]
