6 Heated Miles

With summer almost in full swing these 10 am runs are getting harder and harder!!! and hotter and hotter. Met Jenny at the Y did 6 miles outside and was just plain old pooped out afterwards I think from the heat most of all, took the kiddos to the pool afterwards to get refreshed.
6 at 9:03s ish!!!

I am Sick of looking at this old post!!!

Don't really know why but have not felt like blogging in awhile, life is just so busy one more thing to add to the list. But I have been running in between all the craziness of life, yesterday I ran with Jenny and Andrea and we did hills one of my all time favorites and we were all strong, we ran 6 miles in a little over 9 min miles as our pace.
Yesterday as I was running I realized was how blessed I am to have such wonderful friends and how far we have all come over the last 6 months of our running career and how much we have grown together not only as running partners but more importantly friends and life supporters! I am so blessed to have met so many wonderful people in life and I thank God for all of you everyday. (so after all it is not about the running or working out after all:):)

6 or more????

Ran on the treadmill, really did not have a plan, just wanted to run. I was called off to teach a class last minute (the advantage of the YMCA of having me there all the time). I forgot to check my mileage before I jumped off to teach, I was guessing around 5 miles. I had to teach spin in the PM so ran another 1.5 miles before class, just to try to get in 6!!! WHATEVER I AM SO COMPULSIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Running Running and more Running

Monday easy 4 on the treadmill!
Tuesday due to weather ran with Jenny on the treadmill we supplemented hills by increasing the incline to #5 for .20 of a mile, this was actually a harder workout than outside hills. Finished up about 8 miles in at about 9:19's!

5 fast miles

Ran with Stacey this morning!!! It was a great run as she pushes me to go faster than I normally would, our finishing average was about 8:50s and that was only b/c the first mile was hard to get moving. After my vigorous (thanks Stacey) run I had to teach 2 classes at the Y, and I look forward to a day of rest on Easter Sunday:) Happy Easter Everyone!

Speed Work on the Treadmill

4 miles total in 33 mins. first mile warm up, then 3 miles at 8:00s or a little under. Felt good, could have probably pushed myself a little harder than I did but it was a crazy day and I have to teach 2 hard classes tomorrow and meeting my Saturday running girls before that.

6 1/2 miles on the old stand by

6 on the treadmil at about 9:10ishs!!! nothing else to report on this run as it was boring.

A Day Off

OK somewhat of a day off! I had to teach spin class today, but I am pretty sure for me that is a day off in the Cherise category. I am hoping my legs and hips feel rested tomorrow for a nice strong effortless run after today's rest as last week I taught a lot of classes and lots of running miles.

Again Another Catch Up Post

Saturday I ran a little over 5 miles before teaching class.
Sunday I ran 91/2 with Carin and Andrea, this was a great run, we ran at a steady pace the temp outside was good and we did one of my favorite routes.
Monday met Jenny we did an easy 4 before I had to teach classes. Very windy out!!
Tuesday my favorite hill day!!! Met with Jenny and Andrea did our usual hill route, with the hills we had extra wind to train us for strength today. We actually were pretty fast out there which I did not realize till I down loaded my garmin, another great run, but my legs need a break for sure.

7 Miles with Jenny at the YMCA

Today I met with Jenny for an easy run! :) which makes me happy! We ran 7 miles all around the Y I think our pace was around 9:30ish.
With the heat of the summer vastly approaching I need to drink more water before, during and after running and try to run more early morning runs.

weekly catch-up of post!

Monday ran 2 miles on treadmill and had to teach my Monday classes!!
Tuesday I did Hills with Andrea and Jenny had a great run 6 miles and added an extra 2 with the stroller, the boys wanted to go find pine cones and I could burn a few extra calories.
Wednesday ran the treadmill I did 6, today felt harder than the norm and I was extra sweaty, must be very humid today. I have to teach spin at 4:30 and I am not looking forward to it as I am tired today and I don't feel like getting all sweaty AGAIN.
