5 miles on the treadmill.  Hoping I can get back to taking care of myself.  Have had a lot of personal things going on lately that have taken priority.  I am contemplating signing up for a 1/2 marathon in Maine on August 12th.  Just waiting for my husband to check his schedule.  Keeping my fingers crossed that we can make it happen.

Went to the gym to get in on their step class but step was replaced with yoga.  Decided to do 40 min fat burn on the elliptical instead since I wasn't wearing my running shoes.  Worked up a good sweat then went home and cut the grass.  Looks like my 1/2 in Maine will work with hubby's schedule, guess I better register :)

4 miles on the treadmill.  Did 1 mile warm up then 2 miles going up and down around 9:05 pace.  I would run .20 at 9:05 then .05 at 10:00 to recover.  I continued the pattern until getting close to the end.  I was feeling so good, I upped the pace to 8:47 for the last .25.  It felt great to feel great while running.  I thought about pushing myself a little more but decided I'd better not over do it.  I want to enjoy the run and the feeling that I still have something left.

Spun today in a class called "sole ride".  Basically you just go in the spinning room with your head phones and spin at your own rate, to your own music, for as long as you want (or at least until the next class).    I spun for an even 15 miles.
