Long-Term Running Goals: I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.
Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:) Personal:

| Have you heard of Charity MIles? Me neither, until I recently read about it in Runners World. Essentially you can run to earn money for charity. It looks like you download a free app then take your phone on your run to track the distance. Bikers earn 10 cents/mile, while runners and walkers earn 25 cents per mile!

| We spent the day snorkeling with Stingrays and at the Coral Reefs in the Cayman Islands. I'm not usually into water sports because water always finds a way up my nose. Anyway, while snorkeling, I spotted a sea shell aprox.12 feet under a coral reef in a small looking cave. I decided to go for it. I felt like I had ran out of air 3/4 down, but made myself keep going till I grabbed it and brought it to the surface. HA! It's about the size of a medium size football. I had a hard time catching my breath after coming up and my snorkel stopped working. I also left my fins on the boat, so I had to swim back in a doggie pattle fashion with one arm since the other hand was holding the shell. For some reason I couldn't stay above the waves very well and I was exhausted after swimming and treading water for 45 minutes. The boat was about 200 meters away and everyone was spread out. We made it back and had fun showing our treasures. My shell had a live conch inside. I guess you can't harvest these in the states, but is legal and often harvested in the area islands. I had no idea what it was, I just wanted a sea shell:) Our tour guides "evicted" the conch and carved it up to eat. I later learned that some conch have pearls, but we never disected the snail to look for it. Great time! We all came home exhausted.

| Jamaica! We cliff jumped/dived into the "Blue Hole" and hiked up several waterfalls. Lots of belly flops in the family. Some of us were proud for jumping off a 30 foot cliff, but were humbled when our tour guide climbed a tree a dived about 50+ down into the blue hole. He was monkey. Afterwards we walked about 4 miles around the market place. The Jamaicans had names for all of us that we compared at the end of the day. Several of my sisters were called "Boss Lady", another "Pretty Lady" and I was "Sweet Spirit." Don't call me that in the states. Best day of the trip so far!

| 5:30AM- Met up at the Capital with a good crew this morning; Scott W, Craig L, Jennilyn E, Matthew W, and MVH. I ran the entire thing on my ankles, but my knees feel it the most. I should have brought my luge. The first miles were so slippery, at times I had to hang on to anything I could grab to get up. Scott was nice and let me wear one of his spikes on one foot on the way back down. We toyed with the idea of a three-legged run, but ended up pony riding - with the spiked foot in front, and our bodies trailing. We still ended up screaming for most of the last mile down, mostly me.
The other mountain goats were ahead of us. Apparently, Craig took a hard fall and hurt his knee and elbow. I think a helmet and body pads might be helpful next time. It was one of the more fun runs I've ran up there, but also the most technically difficult. The others would laugh, but I'm exhausted.

| I woke up early this morning and got ready to leave, but my stomach was upset. I waited around hoping it would go away, but it hardly disapated and I had to get the kids off to school. Feeling blah.

| 6:00AM- Strange morning. Met up with Andy and had some annoying nerve pain in my foot. Turned around home to switch shoes. I came back up to Davis to catch up with Andy, but suddenly got a terrible stomach ache that lasted the entire day. 3 miles.

| 6:00AM- Davis with Andy. I ran by minutes today, rather than time. Up and down the Blvd in 70 mins for 9.25 miles/7:36 AP. Despite having 4 hours of sleep, I felt good. I think wearing lighter shoes made the difference. Each week is feeling less of an effort on this route.
I've started to use Garmin Connect to track my workouts.

| 9:00AM- This morning I ran around Lewis park and added some intervals on the mushy grass, it it began raining during the wu, but stopped by the time I started the workout. The wind picked up, which was difficult on two sections, but I knew grass running combined with wind was not going to give stellar times, so went by effort.perimeter. I was breathing hard for the entire workout, and rarely caught my breath on active rest, but felt good overall - and better than last week. Not necessarily vo2 miles, especially considering time, but the effort was there. Wish there was an option between vo2 miles and threshold. I usually consider tempo miles as threshold or races. Hum.
The first interval included one small uphill and two small downhills, so the last two Intervals, I changed it to have only one up and one down.
1.25 mi hilly wu
3x~800 with 400 active rest
.47@2:51
.49@2:57
.49@2:57
2 mi cd with dog
