'Circuit' work today - spin 10 min, then 50 sb crunches, 15 knee pups, and then some weight repetitions. I did 3 cycles of this.
This really did not feel like much of a workout......

Today i did a tribute run for a dailymiler who died on Monday, apparently at his local track. I was not internet friends with him, but those who were said he was a great motivator and a great friend. It was an unexpected and sudden death, i am not sure of the cause.
3.1 miles today.

Just a tired treadmill run today. 4.5 miles, 50+ minutes. I forget now how long, but it was pretty slow going. But i got the miles and minutes in, Yay!

Today was a short easy 'wog' jogging + walking for 2 miles to loosen up my legs after the long run yesterday.

Today was a long run day. My Half Marathon training by John Bingham only said 6 miles, but the other plan i have said 9 for today. I went with the 9.
I wanted to practice down hill and knew i had to finish uphill with that plan. So i ran 4.4 around my neighborhood, then went downhill. The down hill was .5 to the road, and 2 miles down the road, then turn around and come back up.
Except for the 2 miles downhill, i kept to a 4/1 run/walk interval. The run ended up being 9.5 and my time was 2 hours. that was about a 12:36 pace. Hopefully my marathon pace in October.
The St George Marathon has a descent for the first 7 miles and then an incline for 4 miles and then is basically a descent for the next 15 miles. I am hoping if i practice finishing with an uphill for a couple miles at the end of my long runs once a month, i will be prepared for the course.
YIKES!

Running done in splits again today. 
Just a note to self, no oatmeal for dinner, it doesn't agree with you for running in the morning.
First run, 1.5 miles on the TM (staying close to home)
Then because of extra time from not running further, Yoga Sun Salutations with Rodney and Family. 
Blinds, and windows open to listen to the birds, feel the breeze blowing in and watch the sunrise.
Nice morning yoga.
Then in the evening after work, finished my miles with 2.5 on the treadmill. 
Total time for both runs was 43:40. Only pace i remember was the last .5 ran at 10 minute pace - Yay!
