Easy run in the hood between downpours.  Downloaded some new songs on my shuffle so I was excited to get out and listen to them while running.  I can tell my endurance is slowly building since I've increased my weekly mileage.  Slow and steady.  I'm hoping I can keep a 9 min pace for my 10k in 2 weeks.  Guess I better focus on my speedwork (my least favorite part of training).

AP:  9:49

Speedwork on the rail trail today.  Beautiful morning!  We slept with the windows open last night.  It's 8:30 now and only 70 degrees...Love it!

I wanted to keep miles 2,3,&4 under 9 minutes.  I succeeded with mile 2 and was really close on 3 and 4, maybe next time :)

Too much sweet tea with dinner.  Decided  to run 2 miles at dusk.  Felt good, carried my mace, no earphones or watch (don't want to give anyone a reason to jump me).  Now to feast on some rice pudding (carbs for tomorrows spinning class:)

Spinning class today.  Had a different instructor and she kicked my butt.  I have found that I have lost my spinning butt since I haven't been spinning regularly.  It was very painful to sit today :(  Gonna have to keep spinning until the nerve ending die in my tushie.

9 miles with my niece.  I ran while she rode her bike.  We did hills and wooded trails.  It was a beautiful cool morning so we were glad we got up early.  We planned on doing 13 miles today but my knee tweaked at 9 miles so I stopped for a second then tried again and it tweaked again so I decided to stop and call it a day.  I iced it on the way home and have no other problems all day.  I'm hoping I stopped fast enough so I won't have an issue when I run again on Monday.  I have a 10K next Saturday so I think I'll take it a little easier this week coming.
