Tried to keep a steady pace but it just wasn't working for me today.  Decided to do some speed work.  Sprint then recover...sprint then  recover.  I like my sprinting pace (7:45-8:15), makes me feel speedy :P

4 miles after work.  No watch.  Easy and steady.  Great time with new songs on my I-pod :)

spinning this morning.  Haven't been in a while.  It was nice seeing the old regulars and the crazy instructor.  Great sweat before work.

Met a friend for step class this evening at the gym.  Forgot how fun step can be.  Most of the steps came back to me but I still got lost a few times.  Glad I was forced into abs at the end of the workout.

3 tough miles in the hood this evening.  Thought about stopping at 2 miles but refused to be completely defeated.  Glad I stuck to it :)

Was planning on going to the gym to take a sculpting class but decided to sculpt at home by doing yardwork;  moving dirt and mowing the lawn.

Started out later than I wanted, was already pretty warm (around 80).  Ran 3 miles to a park where I could loop through trails through the woods that are shaded.  I also like the park because I can fill up on water or take a potty break if needed.  Saw one of my students' father.  He was saving a pavilion for a birthday party to be held later today.  If I knew him better, I would have asked for one those huge chocolate chips cookies he had on a tray:)  

Running back to my car from the park was difficult.  I was really hot and had no shade for 2.5 miles.  A couple of times there was shade created by a cloud ahead of me, but each time I tried to catch it, I was too slow.  

When I got  home, I kept up the sweat by doing yard work.  Finally got in the shower around 6:00.  Nice to have my feet up now.  Going to my daughter's for a cook out tomorrow... yummy!
