Spinning today!  I got up at 4:15am because I couldn't sleep so I had time for a cup of coffee before class (starts at 5:30).  The coffee really seemed to improve my stamina.  Great workout!

Had time this morning for Boot Camp and my run.  Boot Camp was upper body with weights and core work.  Found a great treadmill at the gym that has a decline option.  Ran 5 miles with 4 miles at 9:30 pace temp (on incline).  

I can use this treadmill for my Ragnar training.  Once I find out which part of the trail I'll be running, I can look up the topography on the site and mimic it with the treadmill.

Three easy miles on the treadmill at the gym.  Too humid outside with the hurricane lurking off the coast.  I am going to do my long run tomorrow instead of Saturday because I'm going out of town.  Its supposed to be a lot less humid and cooler tomorrow.  I definately plan on doing an outside run with some hills.

Ten miles on Rosewick.  Nice cool, breezy morning from the hurricane passing by.

Ran easy in my grandsons neighborhood.  Not sure of pace, probably about 10:30.  Legs were tried after taking 4.5 mile walk through the woods Sunday night.

I have been super tired this week.  I didn't have the energy for a morning run so I went on my way home this evening.  There are tons of more people at the gym in the evening.  Had a job interview today and if I get the job, I may have to switch to evening workouts.  Could be a good change :)

11 miles early because I had to be showered, fed, and out the door by 10:30am.  Barely made it!

Three miles this evening on the trail of a local park.   I must have had a good vacation because I'm 5 pounds heavier.  My body protested but finally started cooperating around mile 2.

Spinning this morning.  Said goodbye to my instructor since my schedule is about to change and no more morning spinning.  I've been spinning with this guy for about 8 years.  He drives me crazy but I always get a good workout.  I'm looking forward to a new routine :)

10 miles on the rail trail.  Humid but overcast skies made it bearable.  Wanted to do 13 when I first set out but my legs were still sore from boot camp and spinning.  I decided to be happy with 10 so I could walk today.
