| Pushing single jogging stroller. Was a tough day. Tired legs. Think I might aim for four days run and three days rest next week. Will do strength/x-training instead. | |

| On treadmill. This run was hard; my legs were tired and I had to take a few 1 minute walk breaks, which is not usual. I also don't like to do more than a 3-mile run on the treadmill. It just seems to drag, even with music or tv. | |

| Great run. Rested, strong legs. I think pushing the jogging stroller really is making a difference! | |

| Pushing double. Think it should count extra when I am pushing both girls because legs get really tired. At least better burn more calories!! | |

| Didn't feel like I was going unusually slow but my time shows that I was slower than normal. Had some weird pain in my glutes. Will have to pay attention to that. | |

| Ran/walked on the treadmill. Trying to take it easy on my legs because it seems like they are always a little sore. Would like to run on Saturday without them hurting from the moment I cross the starting line. Started a new blog today: runnersgut.blogspot.com. Between that and this blog, I hope I won't ever have any excuses and will have plenty of motivation. | |

| Wanted to finish in under an hour. Almost made it, but slowed on the sixth mile -- felt really sick to my stomach. I think I may have prevented it with a little more water intake before the race. | |

| Asked my hubby today when my legs will stop hurting. It seems like they are sore all the time. Any input on this would be helpful. My sore legs are the only thing holding me back!! | |

| Had a migraine today. I was going to take a rest day on Friday but will count tonight instead. My headache made me sick to my stomach so running wasn't going to happen. |

On the treadmill again but think I found the key to surviving: speedwork (Yasso 800s) + music (not TV!!). It went a lot faster than when I watch TV, and I was more focused on what I was doing and how I felt. | |

| I struggled through miles six and eight but made it. Had one big hill that slowed me to a walk, but I picked up the pace as soon as I hit the top. Finished wondering if I would really ever be able to do 26.2... | |

I can finally see that I am improving. It was a great run, especially considering two of the three miles were in a pretty steady rainstorm and I ran eight miles yesterday. I haven't checked my history to know for sure, but I am pretty sure it was my fastest three mile run to date. | |
