Blessings and Balance

I was supposed to run with my neighbor Julianna today but her baby still hadn't woken up and she needed to hang around to feed her. SO.. I ran solo today and it was really nice. Somedays you just need to be in your own head.

I decided I would work on my turnover. I told myself to let my legs do the work.. think about form and think about my legs going just a bit faster. I was really pleased with the results considering that I really haven't been running a ton of miles lately. I was also a little suprised the speed did not feel to hard. Yeah!!!

Noboday passed me today!!! There was a guy who came up on me close to the end of my run but I started talking to him so he couldn't pass me. I am SNEAKY!!!

"No more trouble Zones" DVD

I was tired this morning but still really tried to focus on my form. The DVD is getting a little bit easier each time I do it. Still not easy but I can tell I am improving.  

Ran to the beach and did 3 800's

800's... 3:25, 3:24, 3:26 the last one about killed me.

I was pleased with the times especially considering they were not done on a track.

I haven't run many miles this week. I have a cold and allergies on top of that so breathing posses to a problem. I miss running so much outside. I have been doing most of my miles on the treadmill this last few weeks. I will have to change that.

My husband and I are headed to Hawaii next Fri!!!! Yahoo! My mom and sister will be here to hold down the fort. So I hope to run outside in Hawaii a lot. I am looking forward to being able to run with my husband, it will be FUN!
