I didnt run last night. Quite honestly I was dehydrated, too tired and just sore.
I felt SO guilty getting a mani and pedi instead of running. We went to bed relatively early which was nice, for a change!!! Matt's mom in town and dinners at 830 every night it exhausting to me. I'm glad we got to spend time with her, but I'm sad I missed his Dad.
What else, no workut today, I'll try and walk up the stairs a bunch! That's all I've got.
SO excited for Miami, soooo excited.

Tues and Wed runs
well Tuesday was a mess. I had a terrible day at work: TERRIBLE and then I went to run my speed work at the gym. I totally miscalculated the speed that I needed to run my 600m's at and did 2:40 instead of 3... BIG difference. Long story short I hurt my shin and couldnt do the 6 reps... i did 4 and the last was in BIG pain.
Wednesday I did a 7.2 mile run in 78 minutes. Not too fast, but a decent pace. I need to pick it up a bit.
Tonight is supposed to be a 5 mile recovery run. When does this all fit? If I was fast it would fit better thats for sure.
Tomorrow I leave for Miami for the weekend- really looking fwd to girl time. On the agenda: 2 5 mile runs!!

Wkd Recap
Well I followed Urban's running plan to a tee last week.
Thursday we did tempo run... so 550m at a 3:03-3:10 pace... I made it 5 laps before my knee was on fire. I rested about 5 min and then ran 2 more. This was after a 1.5 mile warmup and almost 2 mile cool down. My knee felt fire-ish (perhaps from its exercises on Wed) but otherwise OK. I got a massage late Thursday night so I think that helped my sore muscles relax and recover a bit.
Friday was my recovery run. I was nervous. I never have ru back to back, at least not well. We left work early on Friday and Matt came with me! What a treat! We ran at a pretty slow pace (perfect for recovery) and since I ran 0.5 before meeting up with him, together we ran a 4 mile run! I was so psyched and so psyched for him too!! We only walked for about 30 seconds at the 35 min mark! We did the East River from Alpha City bridge (10th street and C) down to Wall Street and B'way and then walked home. Was magnificent weather and company and I was a giggly girl over it. Was perfection. We went to L'Ecole for dinner, which was also giggly great. Overall such a great way to end a not so great day!
Saturday was my off day. Spent it with my mom and at Ikea w Matt. Was on my feet all freaking day!!!
Sunday I was supposed to run 6-8 miles depending on how I felt. I was exhausted from the week/day so I slept in until 11 am and finally went for my run then. Ran the East River for the shade aspect, and ran to Wall Street and back up-- about 8.2 miles in 88:30 which was awesome for me. I felt great but drank a ton of water and gatorade (sidenote: no headaches since I've started this massive gatorade influx so perhaps they were dehydration headaches). While I was running up the East River on my second leg I passed a family of 5 or 6 and the mom said "get out of the JOGGERs way kids" For whatever reason this really pissed me off. What made ME a jogger? My pace? How judgemental! My sex? I mean are the guys she passed who were running, joggers in her mind? How am I who is easily (debateable) running 20+ mile weeks a jogger? Is a marathon a jogger? Is it silly to be offended?
