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:

| 5:30AM- The air quality is poor, off to the TM. 1.5 wu with frequent stops. My ankles took turns screaming with nerve pain during the warm up. It seems winter time causes this more often. Old lady syndrome. Whatever, but it soon dissipated and I was able to get the rest of the run in. Threw in some race paces in the last half to speed up time- 1600, 800, 600, 400, 200, 100, 100. Started at mp and worked down to 5:00. Half distance active rest in-between. This was not a difficult workout, but I wish the paces felt more comfortable for the limited time I ran them. Gotta start somewhere. 8.5mi @ 7:05ap.

Contemplations of Debbie Downer
I'm in a strange funk when it comes to running lately. I'm not sure what to do. I'm kind of tired of running. It doesn't help that the air is horrible. I know I go through this EVERY SINGLE YEAR at this time, as do many. I am having an extremely hard time making up my mind what I want to do. I signed up for the USATF circuit and somehow it has halted my decision making and made me not want to race. I'm not entirely sure why.
I know I don't want to go the entire year without racing or I will feel like I wasted the year and could have been doing other important things, like having a baby or something. I feel like this year could be a really good year. I'm 31, not injured, many racinging options, a great running community, and a dying thirst to murder the marathon. What gives? Perhaps a baby break from public view (from all three of you;) will jump start things.
I need a break to the Caribbean. Yes, indeed I do. I'm heading there next week and will hopefully pick up some enlightenment from the Jamaicans, mon.
Sincerely,
D. Downer

| 5:30 AM- TM miles at 0%, sluggy 2 mi wu. I could see getting into the 7mph range was going to take some work this morning at the rate I was going, so I decided to do some short speed intervals.
Equal active rest for first 10 and standing rest for last 10.
5x60 sec @ 5:45
5X60sec@5:30
5X30 sec @ 4:40
5X15 sec@4:24
.5 cd
Since the belt ran continuous for the last intervals, can only count 7 actual miles today- 49:00 total.
I pretended to lift some weights and do some boso balancing/squats, but I really had no direction at that point, so I rushed home to get ready for work.

| 6:00AM- Davis Blvd. with Andy. 8:04ap. Felt tired today, but so glad to be outside. 8 miles of the ME monster, from my end. "Andy, tell me about your job- OH, I know ALL about that! Blah blah blah.." What can I say, he's therapeutic.

| My mom is on a pocket dialing kick lately. All hours of the night and early mornings, she does not discriminate. Luckily today, I wasn't called until 7:45, which woke me up. It was I was pleased to sleep in without the internal clock going off. Ahhh:)
9:30AM- I saw lots of friends at the gym today, well 3, but it's rare that I ever recognize anyone. It was clearly a popular time to go. Treadmills were highly desirable, especially ones that worked. Two girls from my ward flagged me down, and I decided to jump on the TM next to them. We spoke little, but it was so nice to run next to someone I knew. They talked me into meeting up for Body Combat class on Thursday mornings at 5:30. I'm totally silly in those settings. I better go dig out my dunce hat
