I have a small goal - to run my run in under 9 minute miles.  I was sooooo close today - my fourth mile was 9:01.  Dang!!  My Garmin is all messed up and it wasn't keeping mileage very well....at all!  When it said my 4th mile split time my total distance was 6.42.  Sooo weird!

 My splits:

Mile 1 - 8:24

Mile 2 - 8:41

Mile 3 - 8:58

Mile 4 - 9:01

Average pace: 8:52

I ran with the running group and it was hard!  I thought I was running faster than I was, but really they slowed down for me.  There were two big hills that made me think I can't do the ING!  I'll be over it soon enough.

4.5 miles on the treadmill in 43:50.  Every day I find a new reason to detest the treadmill.  Today's reason - I keep hitting my tummy on the bar.  It sounds ridiculous and I feel dumb doing it, but I keep running so close to the handles that I bump it.  I was watching the tv up on the wall over my head today and I practically rolled off the treadmill.  I was so not impressed with myself today.  ;-)

I ran with the running group again.  It is so nice to run with other people.  My splits started good and ended terribly.  I needed new shoes terribly bad!!!  I went out that day and bought a new pair, actually.  I could feel my orthodics in them and kept scrunching my feet.  My shins and arches hurt so bad at the end.   Average pace was 10:08

 1 - 9:24

2 - 9:23

3 - 9:12

4 - 9:12

5 - 10:19

6 - 10:00

2 miles on the treadmill without my orthodics.  My knees hurt so badly I couldn't go anymore.  My goal was three, but there was no way that was going to happen.

Treadmill - 2.0 incline.  

 I am on antibiotics for my tooth and they are really really messing with my tummy.  I was so crampy and bloated that this run was absolutely hard.  I am supposed to run 9 tomorrow with the running group and am wondering if that is even possible. I am going to bed in a few minutes and hopefully that helps som
