Paul and I decided yesterday that we should run 14 miles for 2014. We talked Jason into the adventure as well. We got up this morning and started running at a freezing 19 degrees. Our miles were fairly slow, but we were just having fun and chatting. At mile 7 we stopped to fuel up and Jason was having pain in his ankle and decided he shouldn't go further. Paul and I finished the 14 miles. It was fun to see Lily twice on the run as well. Happy New Year!

Ran 4.55 SLOW miles, there may have even been some walking in there;) My legs felt trashed from the speed work yesterday. Weights worked quads, hamstrings, inner thigh, biceps, triceps, chest, abs and obliques.

So I got a really slow start this morning. I had no desire to run, I just wanted to walk and chat with my cute friends. Once I decided to run I busted out some nice fast miles. I then did weights and worked calves, hamstrings, quads, biceps, triceps, shoulders, abs and obliques. Now I'm off to Los Angeles. I'm so excited for some warm weather to run in:)

Holy cow, what a terrible week for working out. While I was in Los Angeles I was totally sick and never even got to run there:( I'm home now and feeling much better.

This started out as a great run. My first few miles were fast, but by mile 8 I wanted to throw the towel in. I pushed through the last 2 miles at a very slow 8:32 pace. This was one run I'm glad is over. I'm hoping next week goes better.

Thank goodness I was able to go to the gym today. I have been so sick and even missed work yesterday. I missed work on one of the best days possible though, one of my first grade students threw up all over in class. I dodged a bullet on that one:)

This morning I ran a quick 4 miles before going to spin.
