| So my husband is doing a 20 miler today, and I thought I'd join him for a few of his later miles. I took him some gatorade and ran up and down the canyon with him. I didn't want to mess with his pace so we ran HIS speed. Therefore, today's miles are going in the fast miles column. I suppose it was what my son would call a tempo run. It was actually a bit of a revelation. We averaged about 8:40 a mile and I didn't die. The last little climb up to the top was rough, but I kept up. I was grateful to turn around and head back down, but we kept the pace consistent. Maybe a sub-25 5K is not totally out of the question. Right now I feel good; I'm happy with that!

| I only had 20 min. for exercise this morning. I thought about yoga, but went with the run. Hope that was the right choice (running is always the right choice, right?). I can tell I didn't ice my foot yesterday, but everything else was great. And now on to an insanely busy day. Sigh.

| My foot flared up about a mile in. I panicked, thinking maybe I really do have a stress fracture, and I walked for about a half block. I started running again slowly and the discomfort subsided. I could feel it a little during the rest of the run, but not enough to really bother me. I still think it's a tendonitis issue and I'm just paying the price for not being nice to it the last several days. Even though tendonitis isn't supposed to involve inflammation I know icing after a run helps a lot. I know eccentrics help with achilles tendontitis, I don't know if I would need a different kind of eccentric to help with my foot. Maybe I'll do my calf eccentrics every day for a while and see if it helps. At the very least I'll be more diligent with icing and wearing proper shoes during the day. And I really should get new running shoes.

| Not a stellar week, but I can only do what I can do. Nice run this morning with Adam. Planned to do 8 but had to get back for a commitment. Foot is sore, but it didn't hurt during the run. I massaged it a little before putting on my shoes, maybe that helped. I'll ice it too. Hope I can get back to 20 miles next week.

| Had to get a quick one in between class and lessons. Glad I can get anything in at all on these 17 hour days. Legs feel tight and feet are sore. More sleep! Did manage a 3x12 weights workout this morning.

| Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful run. I love my mid-week, mid-distance, mid-day run. A perfect time to let everything slide off me and sort through all the tangled webs in my brain. That being said, I'm pretty tight in the IT band region today. I missed yoga (and running) on Tuesday, and missed my workout today. I'd better straighten things out so I don't end up sidelined.

| That's two runs this week. Double yea. I live for my Wednesday run. Maybe I can pull off a miracle and still hit 20 this week.

| Finally got in a run today, but first I got to watch one of my sons have a huge breakthrough race this morning. Fun to see him set a big PR. My other son had a bye this week so I'll have to wait to cheer him on in a week or two. I love it when I can be inspired by my children.
I was actually cruising up the canyon this afternoon but a huge heart palpitation convinced me to slow it down. I didn't have a second one, but I kept the pace down after that.

| I've given up on logging my sleep. Seems like it's pretty consistently between 6 and 7 hours. It's not enough, but at least now I know that I never get enough and that's probably why I'm tired. A nice 3 miler this morning. I'd still like to get my miles back to about 20 a week, but as the semester gets crazier I may have to settle for 15-20 (as the last few weeks have shown - actually the last few weeks have shown less than that, but I haven't been happy about it, so if I can at least hit something in the ballpark of 20 I'm willing to settle).

| Okay - no miles today, but I did a good 30 minute aerobics workout and I'm taking credit for it.

| The smell of wood smoke, the crunch of fall's first leaves under my feet, a slight chill in the air, the morning sun on my face - this time of year is running perfection. Je l'adore!!

| So I've got a new running partner for Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is really good. I may not have time for much on those days, but at least I'll get something in, and have fun too. Yea!
