slept in til 9 and the day got away from me.  i wanted to go but amber had a game at 1040am (her against boys and a team of all boys and she scored the first goal and three more and three assists even though she sat out for half the game--five subs is too many).  Score 13-2.   Amber is a great soccer player!!  Then I took my girls ice skating at Peaks.  And since I could go now to work out I am calling it cause I am meeting Mel and Jane at 530am.  That is one workout I don't want to come burnt out to.  We are running outside and rarely does mel run slow.  So I GOT TO BE AWAKE.    Excuse me I am kind of grossed out here--I AM GOING TO BE 46 next MONTH.  46????????  30 years ago I was nearly dead.  Wow...

10.25 miles outside at 530 am with Mel and jane.  Well I was behind but would be by them when they would stop thankfully. Ap 7:48.  Then went inside gym and ran three more on tm after changing to shorts. Stomach and thighs bright red.  I never warmed up in lower body on this run outside.  Especially right foot.   But on tm after first 1/2 mile I felt energized. Started at 730 pace then 7:24 second mile then 7:10 last mile. Ap 7:20   Then did core and weights and some pump.  Pretty much a marathon exercise morning. Left gym at 0855.

Worked at nicu nice day.  Finally. No running. And because we need the money after Christmas ...I picked up a shift that is offering bonus (time and a half) and 50 dollar gift certificate. So 640 extra  dollars I could not refuse.   Since I was lazy over break and barely worked but hung with my kiddos .   Have car repairs and going to soccer tourney in Vegas next week.

two mile warmup easy (1%). Incline workout. 7-15 percent.  One minute at each, one minute off, until 13% when I ran 3 x 30 seconds each. Legs dead from class Tuesday.  One mile fast in 6:27.  0 percent incline.  Felt like down hill.  Sweat like no other especially after eating a banana, raspberries, pecans and almonds with coconut sprinkles just moments before this run. Barf o rama.

outside run.  no watch but started my oven clock for 45 minutes and ran my 5.1 mile loop.  Wanted to run without staring at pace and go easy and see what that turned out to be.  8:11 was a surprise.  Felt like 8:40.  My guess.

saratoga springs fleet feet half course while amber took test for advanced placement.  Have not ran there in four years.  Very surprised I was at a 740 mile pace by mile three then more climbing since one and two were up three was flat.  Still at 8 pace. So ap was 7:59.  So pretty out there. This was at 3 pm.  Test over at 440pm.  (fyi I just looked up the first time I ran this course in 2011 (my fast year) and ran 8:13 avg pace!!! Ummmm four years later and I am faster??? without trying or thinking about it.  weird.
