Today I ran with my puppy outside, since it was a marvelous day! I'm not sure it was 2 miles (he is just a little guy) but it was probably a mile and half.   Did not time myself though

I ran 5 miles, didn't time it. I wasn't in the mood so I told myself I could just have a nice jog. I felt great after, could have kept going at that pace forever. I even passed a grandpa

Themes

I thought that I would post themes as we are training and we can give our thoughts on them, ie Hydration, Nutrition, Music, etc. 

Today, lets talk SHOES
So, I think it's time to buy a new pair of sneaks.  My toes start to fall asleep at about a mile and 1/2.  Does this happen to you too?  I've tried tying my shoes looser and tighter but neither seem to help.  My shoes are about 2 years old....so I guess I should just buck up and buy a pair!

Did my 3 miler to day in 24:30.  I did the first mile in about 7:20, What?  Holla!!!  Then I hit a wall at a bout 1 and and half, slowed my pace and picked back up again around 2 and 1/2.

ps
Elise, I was thinking that you should come every other week (on my week off) you should come up here and run on the indoor track with me....as you hate the treadmill sprints.   Plus we can train together, that's always motivating.

So I've been mainly doing 3 milers because I feel like i need to push myself a little more than the 1 and 2 milers.  I have however been mixing it up.  Last thursday i ran at a slower pace for three minutes and then at a faster pace for three switching it up.  Today I worked on sprints.  I absolutely hate sprints on the treadmill.  I did 3 miles in 26 minutes.  I have to say I'm pretty pleased with my team especially since I'm not known for my speed! (and on the treadmill!) Kuddos to myself. 
I'm also surprised you don't like the 4 times a week.  I like the schedule I do feel like on my other days off I do need to do some other form of strength training and of course stretching!

Ok, so I was bad again and didn't run on Saturday.  However, I  more than made up for it today.  I ran my 2 for today in 16:30 and then ran the other 2 from Saturday at a slower, more comfortable pace.  I was so comfortable that I just kept on running another mile.  So all in all, I did 5 miles today.

I ran 2 miles in 16:22 today (track).  I felt like I was going slower, and was, but I'm still quite happy with the time.  Then, because I didn't run my mile yesterday, I cooled down completely and then decided to run the mile I missed yesterday.  I didn't time it, but it was definitely slower pace than my 2 miler.  Anyhow, I decided this was a good way to keep me motivated to do all the runs.  If I miss a day, I have to do the mileage I missed on the next day I run, plus that days mileage.  I have a problem running 4 times a week....3 I can do, but four is pushing it, especially because it means I have to run two days in row.
