10 miles on the rail trail. Didn't get out until after church, around 11:00 or so. Already ver humid...sweated buckets. Had to talk myself through every mile after 7 miles. Had to overcome excuses to stop. Felt proud of myself for stocking it out:)

Still no garmin to keep track of time. Hope I'm keeping a good pace.

2 humid miles. Had to take more walk breaks than I like to admit. It was one of those days that I preferred to be in bed :)

Went to the gym so I wouldn't have to bring my sweat buckets...still needed one.  Ran the 1st mile at 10:30 (warm-up).  On the 2nd mile I did the first 1/4 at 8:41, next 1/4 at 9:40, last 1/2 at 8:41.  The last mile I did 9:40.  

I was happy with my 8:41 pace for 1/2 mile.  Next time I want to hold that through the whole mile instead on 3/4 of it.  Was kind of creeped out and distracted by this man next to me on the treadmill because out of 15 empty treadmills he chooses the one right next to me!  He was in my space and it bothered me. Instead of staying focused on my run, I was fantasizing the slap down he was going to get if he tried anything funny :)

Afterwards I worked on my planks.  Did 4 girlie push-ups...went for a real push-up...failed.  Will keep trying.

Good hard spin this morning.  Liked my instructor today.  I always have the same instructor just some days I don't like him so much :)  It might have to do with how well I slept the night before.  17 mile spin :)

Started out late today and just didn't have it in me.  Wasn't feeling it AT all.  Went back home, no mental push through today...had something weighing on my mind.
