I wish I could explain my 1 mile last week, but I think I'll just sum it up by saying it was a bad week.

This treadmill 3 miles was a victory.

This run was a very refreshing one.  I haven't had my garmin for a while because I lost my charger.  My brother brought me his since he got a new garmin a while ago.  So it was all charged and ready to go.  This was a progressively faster 4 miles.  Breathing was okay, but I coughed a lot the faster I went.  That also could have been because of the time spent running, not the speed.  Last week I avoided a lot of things, including running and making doctor's appointments.  I probably need to get on that.

(9:09, 8:58, 8:46, 8:30).

4 miles after school. It was nice but cold out. My garmin was dead. I guess I left it on the other day.

I feel pretty good about this run.  I intended to run a tiny run (2 miles) yesterday...but played Just Dance with the kids for a while in the morning instead...and then stuffed myself with food.

Anyway, I decided that I'd do 5 today and tomorrow, which still gets me to the miles I intended to do this week.  I'm feeling better about running.  I don't know what the heck was wrong with me last week.  I started off faster than yesterday and pushed the pace in the last mile (8:59, 8:41, 8:51, 8:39, 8:12).  It was warmer than I thought it was going to be, so I stopped to take off one of my sweatshirts at the end of mile 2.

Tired, but I'm glad I did what I set out to do.  Every mile hovered around 9 min, except first and last.  It was pretty nice out, though it was windy.  I stopped at mile 2 to take off my sweatshirt and mile 4 for a stoplight and to tie my shoe.
