A little speed work with Kim, Jane and Mel.  Warm up for 2.52 miles at 8:29 AP.  Ran to AF track.  Potty in the school and water fountain, YES! : D.  Ran 10 x 400s.  5 one way  5 the other.  Ran 400s in between at 7:33 to 8:11 pace.  Here are the splits for .26 miles =  5:57,  6:00, 5:57, 5:59, 5:59,  5:56, 5:49, 5:50, 5:39, 5:40.    This felt very manageble and NOT all out.  We were trying for 6:00 AP.  Mel ran 4 of them and went on a longer run.  Kim and Jane were always the same distance ahead after each one, so they were always about 3-5 seconds ahead but during the cooldown I was able to get closer to them so that was nice.  It was hard to see them take off a few seconds before me and wait until I got to the line but I am not too worried about my pace being slower since it has only been 10 days since UVM.  These felt rather easy.  Yay!!  Some nagging pelvic pain/pressure, so much be careful.  I tend to have marathon alztheimers.  I forget so easily what I put my body through and think I can head right out there and run 10, then 14 then 13 then 11 miles.   Like did I take it easy yet?  Well I did NOT run Sun thru Wed. after the marathon that counts for something.  I did work three of those days however, two of them 13 hour shifts and one 7 hours.  Hey and I didn't run last Sat. or Sun.  I worked two 12.5 hours shifts instead :D.  So see I am being good to myself.  : DD  Big hug.  Total 11 miles today.  Ran 3.5 mile cooldown VERY easy pace so the AP for the last 8.5 that incl. SW dropped to 7:24.  Felt so nice to NOT care about pace and chat away with Kim and Jane.  Nice of them to run easy with me. Oh, btw today is MY 14 th Wedding Anniversary.  The longest day of the year!!!  And the first DAY OF SUMMER !!   Oh and I FINALLY did some ARM work it has been at least three months!!! (and even then it lasted maybe two days): straightups, side raises, front raises, biceps (2 types), overhead triceps, rows, lay down overhead raises, dips and push ups with legs on the ball (6,6,4,4,7).  I am such a wimp.  But I am determined to stick with doing upper body at least twice a week and stop this lower body focus thing I have got going on.  Seriously.
