Just another treadmill run. Maybe could have run outside, but allowed myself to choose the lesser of two evils (treadmill or snow). Treadmill meant a lighter wardrobe. Run was fine.

Got in an outside run for a change. I had a dentist appointment at 2:20 and decided to run before picking up the kids. I'm glad I did. My run felt great, and just affirmed that I'm doing okay, fitness wise. AP for the entire run was just under 8:30. That included one warmup mile at just under 9 mm pace. My last mile was just over 8 min pace, and it felt comfortable.

A rare treat! Two days I a row outside. My brother in law graciously picked up my kids without me knowing it and then called to let me know I should get in a run and he'd watch the kids. So that was nice. Gotta love him!

My run today was almost split for split the same as yesterday. AP was slightly over 8:30 pace instead of slightly under. I love that this pace feels easy. I just don't know what that means. I need a 5K to gauge my fitness, but central Illinois doesn't do races right now.

Update. Well, I guess there is a 5k this weekend in Urbana. I doubt that I will run it, but I checked the race calendar, and there are a few I can do coming up.

This is a week where I am trying to break my ocd habit of only running whole miles. Why? No real reason.

It is warming up! Yay.

I ran over 10 for the first time in a long time. I was satisfied overall, but a combination of wind on lack of endurance made the last mile seem harder than it needed to be. I only pushed the pace for 3 miles mid run, and even then I didn't push too hard because I am well aware of my lack of endurance. During my cool down I decided to run around the retention pond because I needed to add onto my loop to bring me home. Unfortunately, half of it was covered in frozen over slush, so it was uneven and slow.

Last night our boys won their sectional in double overtime. It was an exciting game, and it was the first time our school has won a sectional title for boys basketball. It got very tense at the end of the game, especially when a kid in our student section supposedly called a GIANT man a fat ass when he walked by. He was making visible threats and kept walking by the student section. Of course, I had to play bouncer, and I am not that menacing. Luckily I had a few teachers who helped me out. In hindsight, i should have talked to the police officer on duty, but I forgot that he was there until I was talking to my husband at home.
