Had a great visit with QP.  We went to my gym and we ran on the treadmill today because of the nasty outside weather.  We had a delicious brunch at my house afterward of farm fresh egg omelets with peppers and cantaloupe from the garden.  Feeling happy :)

Ran my long run today.  13 miles on the rail trail.  Felt really good at first but my AP was still slower than I like.  I really struggled the last 3 miles, taking frequent walk breaks.  I kept wondering how I was going to finish this race at a faster pace when I'm having such a difficult time at a 11:00 mile pace.  Guess I have to keep trying to go faster although I don't like it.  

Resting tomorrow then I will do an easy run friday and try some speed work on Saturday.

5 easy miles.  Ran on Rosewick Rd because it offers some hills.  Nice doing my long run on Wednesday so I have more time with my hubby on Saturday :)
