So I've been a bit distracted... My last post was after my terrible 10-k run. Thankfully things have looked up since.

Last Tuesday we ran 3.7 miles in the park in 12 min intervals separated by 12 min of squats and lunges- killer. 13 min miles...

Last Thursday I ran 3 miles in the morning (that's all my schedule permitted!!!) which was kinda of lame and I'm still pretty slow in the am. 11 min miles...

Then there was Saturday! I managed to not go out on Friday (which was easy because I was sick w a stomach bug on Thursday night and skipped work Friday) and ran a freaking amazing 4 miler. I ran with Nicole (my running partner in crime) and we ran the 4 mile center Central Park loop in 41:27. Which is a vast improvement over my last 2 4milers this summer at 44:45 and 43:45 respectively (embarassing!!) Our splits were 11:00, 10:46, 10:22 and 9:22! We really sped up and I'm proud of the negative splits big time. My next 4 miler is in February I think and I hope to break 40 min.

After the run (which, was freezing btw- 32 degrees but felt more like 18 with the wind!! esp as we came around the fields in CP) I went to brunch with my mentor and some other mentees. My mentor qualified for Boston and I kinda wish I had a slower mentor- isn't that terrible? She ran the marathon in 3:30 I think.... YIKES!

Tonight there's another CP run. It's supposed to snow. Wonderful.
