Ran my 6 on the treadmill today instead of yesterday. I had these wonderful plans on Saturday of running 6 on the rail trail while my hubby came along on the bike. I decided to join him on a flight in his plane before hitting the trail and ended up with motion sickness after coming into a lot of turbulence. Needless to say, my plans changed for the rest of that day. Was still a little woozy this morning but went to the gym anyway...glad I did :)

Beautiful but windy morning for the rail trail. Temp around 40 degrees but felt good with the sun. The wind was in my face on the way out but stayed to my back on the way in. My legs and shoes felt really good. Listened to the end of my novel, a new podcast debating the most peaceful places in the world (Iceland won), and my running songs. AP: 10:52.

Going to spin tomorrow but will continue taking it easy until I pass at least the 2 week mark after the marathon.

Decided to skip the rail trail today because it is all flat.  It was also opening day today (bathrooms opened and water fountains turned on) so I figured there might be a lot of people there.  I also wanted to get some hills in my run to prepare for "Hospital Hill" in the race coming up in May.  

The weather was beautiful ... sun, no wind, and temp around 60 :)  First spring like day we've had yet.  During the first couple of miles my left thigh had a niggle (new term I just learned), but since it wasn't 'pain' I kept going and that niggle wiggled its way out.   

I found a treasure that QP would have died for ... a zebra phone cover.  I passed it on the side of the road with intentions of picking up on the way back, however, I was on the other side of the road on the way back and passed it by.  I know it's location if a certain someone feels they need to have it :)

AP: 10:51.  One second faster than my Wednesday run.  I'll take that since this run had hills and Wednesday did not.
