I only slept about 4 hrs last night. Was out in the garden for 3 hours today- so I got some cross training in as well! I did this on the TM. Straight running with a quick sprint for the last 200 meters. I feel hungry!

Mile splits, 1m w/up, 1@7:30, 1@7:09, 1@6:49, 1@6:35, 1m cool down. I believe that 6:35 is the fastest mile I've ever ran. That makes me excited!!

1 m w/up, 6x1 m @ 7:47. HMRP. A little weak, should've eaten more before running. After reading a couple different blogs about training for a marathon and nursing, I realize 1 gal of water daily probably isn't enough, and I need some more calories. Trying to balance it out!

Such a tough run. I was going for 14 but ran out of time and energy! Average pace was 9:07. Elevation was 2300 feet. Quite hilly for me. I did run over sailboat bridge which was pretty awesome! Ended up with 2 huge blisters on the outside of my big toes, one was a blood blister.

Got up super early to be running by 4:15, had a small trail to run on and ended up going around maybe 30 times! Ha! Beautiful morning! Saw a bunch of deer hanging out in the field by the trail! 3 bottles of water, 2 nuun tablets, 2 gel, 2 bathroom breaks, got hungry at mile 12, and side stitch at mile 14. Banana and protein bar for breakfast 20 min before running. 8:32 ave pace!! So excited!

My goal was 1:45, but there were about 5-6 miles of hills I wasn't expecting! Hehe! Took a gel about 5.5 miles in and got a nice side stitch, that lasted about 3 miles. Ah well, there's always next time! I did take 3rd overall female and 1st in my age group, so that was awesome!
