I have not been faithful at updating the blog :(. Last week I did 2 on the treadmill Tuesday, 7 on the treadmill on Thursday and ran the chicken run 10K on Saturday. Finished 15th in my age group with 1:03:27. Better than I did at the Redbud 10k a few years ago. My hamstrings hampered me but I didn't quit! Looking forward to San Fran. This week I've done another 2 on treadmill Tuesday and 7 today. Very slow. Haven't got used to pacing myself when watching the movie :) On the other hand, I'm getting faster at starting the movie! Went to lunch with a friend today that said the hill in downtown San Fran is straight up. Ugh.

On last Thursday, the 3rd, ran 6 on the treadmill. Took forever because I couldn't figure out how to get the movie to play in the Playstation 3. I had to have something to do! Anyway, it was a total of 80 min. which seems really slow but I felt like I had a good run. Need to run this p.m. 7 miles. Hoping the rain stays away. If not I will get up and run in the a.m. (what I should have done today) and ride the bike on Tuesday for 8 (2 running miles). We'll see. Tons of homework to do. GO POKES!

Ran about 2.5 today in 31 min. Coco and I did another .5 after that. Felt pretty good. Did do 10 and 1 interval. Hamstrings are still tight. Tight when I start off and then just get worse. Stretching not doing too much good. Ended strong.
Sunday ran between 7 and 8 in 80 minutes. Probably not a good time but felt pretty good when I was done. Did about 10 min. intervals with a few breaks in between. It was cool which helped a lot :)
