Ran 5 miles today in the muggy heat.  It was so nice running in the cool weather in the west! 

Tired from the long drive so probably won't do much else today...

So last week my foot/leg was killing me from running all those hills.  I took the whole week off which was really hard to do.  I did ride the bike an hour a day but I couldn't look at what anyone else was doing because it would have made me depressed!  So I ran 9 miles this morning and walked 1 mile with no pain!  It felt SO good to be back.  Also did abs and pushups.

Ran 9 miles pace 8:50.  Hot.  Still trying to take it easy because of my injury.  Feels much better though.  Next week hopefully I can get back on track.

Rode the bike for an hour.  I just can't seem to get back into my routine after our trip.  I have been slacking on abs and arms.  Did 3 pullups today!

Ran 5 miles this am...planned on running more but it was SO extremely muggy I couldn't handle it!  To make up for it I also did an hour on the bike.  Did abs and pushups and 3 pullups.
