Nice pace Linda!

 

[momof2minnies]

Thanks Tracy and Veronica- the puppy is doing well, we love her to death.

Ran my 6 mile LR yesterday in 56:19, a 9:23 pace- love the ipod! Then biked 5 and did a mini walk with the puppy- she loves it so much I feel guilty if I don't.

Wt=160.4, pizza this weekend and old fashioned molasses cookies- MMM! Thanks Mom and Dad.

Your pace is looking great! You are right on your goal!!

Molasses cookies sound yummy. My DH tried molasses pie while traveling in Montreal and says it was one of the best things he ever tasted.

Just ran 4 miles in 38:07, a 9:31 pace then the elliptical. Rainy but 48 degrees- still in shorts, Nov.16th awesome!

You are doing such a great job, Linda!!! You are definitely going to make both of your goals!

I hope you have a nice evening!

 

[momof2minnies]

Wind and more wind!!!! Ran 4 miles in 37:55, a 9:28 pace then the elliptical x 30 mins.

Calculated my splits for the 1/2 and hope to finish in 2:10, I am worried about the crowd at the start, it kind of really throws it off because you can't really get a pace going until mile 4 or so.

Wt=159.8

Ran Wed and Thursday- Wed not so good- 4.5 miles in 44:18, I felt like I had on lead boots.Yesterday not so bad 4.5 miles in 42:28, a 9:26 pace.

Now I am sick- sore throat and achy all over.My DD16 had it too.At least today is a planned rest day anyway.Lots of leftover desserts- ugh! Right now none of it sounds good- hope it stays that way.

Hope everyone had a happy turkey day!!!

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

A 9:26 pace?!?!?! Woohoo!!!!! Fantastic job, Linda!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. Same here...Sore throat, headache, sneezing, sinus pressure...UGH! It is the season though. I hope we're both feeling better and soon!

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[momof2minnies]

Still battling this lousy cold, virus whatever it is- feel like poop!Did manage to go out for my 8 mile LR this am though probably only because it is really nice out there for Nov 28th.Did it in 1:17:05, a 9:38 pace- 2 mins plus faster than my planned split time.I would like a faster overall pace but feeling the way I do I will take it.

I know you are supposed to train 1.5- 2 mins slower than race pace but I just can't do it.

Wt=159.0

Nice run Linda! And a big on the weight! I put on a couple pounds this week with all the eating, back to WW today.

Keep up the good work and hope you are feeling better soon!

 

[rubato]

Linda: I just read the whole journal and you're doing a great job! Great improvements on the pace and you're almost at your goal weight! Keep up the good work. I'll be doing Goofy, so I'll be right there with you!

 

[lolakat]

Great LR Linda and great weigh in

Hope your cold is feeling better soon.

 

[momof2minnies]

4 miles this morning in a monsoon! 37:52, a 9:28 pace.

Puppy was spade yesterday, poor thing.She is really doing well though.No walks for a while.

Still have this nasty cold- moved to my chest. It is 58 degrees out right now and humid- Ah New England!

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

Great run yesterday!

I hope you start feeling better soon!

Have a great Thursday!

 

[momof2minnies]

5 miles today in 47:03, a 9:24 pace.Did the elliptical after that. Feeling better but not 100%

31 degrees and sunny not bad out there.

Great run! especially since you are not feeling 100% yet. You get extra points for running in the cold and rain. I've haven't tried running in the rain yet but it can't be much fun.
