Started off doing 4.50 miles in Central Park on the treadmill ifit. 34:50 overall time, 303 feet elevation gain, 7:45 pace, 569 calories.

Girls were still being good so I decided to do a 1.40 mile run in Egmont National Park, New Zealand ifit. 10:35 overall time, 78 feet elevation gain, 7:34 pace, 175 calories.

Decided to make it an even 7.00 miles so did 1.10 miles at the Ulysses S Grant Memorial. 8:20 overall time, 7:29 pace, 14 feet elevation gain, 135 calories.

Overall: 7.00 miles in 53:45, 7:40 pace.

Not sure if it was coming back from elevation to sea level, but felt great today.

Helltown Road run on Ifit. Tried to fit the workout in before the baby woke up, but she started crying literally when the belt started moving. Moved her to the swing to see if I could get her to go back down. She held off while I got through 3 miles.

24:00 overall time, 7:46 pace, 82 feet elevation gain, 379 calories.

Got up with the girls and headed straight to the treadmill to get a workout in but the treadmill wouldn't turn on! Ugh. After an hour and a half of trouble shooting, Nordictrack determined that we need a new part that will be shipped in 7-10 days. Made me so frustrated. I have become a little addicted to my treadmill 7-10 days sounds like such a long time! So I am going to do my best to work around Cam's school schedule, get up a little early, and get myself out on runs for the next week. I just hate waking up early when I get up in the middle of the night with a baby.

Anyways, Cam didn't have class today, so I vented on a 4 mile run in gorgeous sunny weather with a brisk chill in the air.

31:57 overall time, 7:55 pace (8:02, 7:34, 7:57, 8:05) 417 calories.

Nike Training Club workout this morning. 30 min with weights, situps, etc.

Cam got home early so I headed out on a 3 mile run even though it was 90 degrees outside. Mistake on my part. The head killed me!

Got up early and got out to do a 50 minute run before Cam headed to school. Our whole family is getting headcolds, so I felt sluggish but it was nice to get out.

One of my new friends here offered to watch my baby while I pushed my other girls. Ada actually ended up staying with her as well, so Aubrey and I had a good warm run. It was fun to just hang out and talk with her. Actually felt better than yesterday.

Decided to do a fartlek style workout since I was only gettng in a couple miles today. Jog-stride-sprint-stride-jog in 1 min intervals. For some reason I didn't know how to switch my watch screen from displaying the pace instead of counting down the interval, so I just switched gears each time. Actually did really good when i go back and look at my splits.

25:00 overall time, 7:33 overall pace

Pace on 1 min intervals

(8:58j, 7:18s, 6:29sp, 6:56s, 7:30j, 6:50s, 6:19sp, 6:54s, 7:51j, 7:07s, 6:56sp, 7:30s, 8:59j, 8:07s, 7:14sp, 7:37s, 8:42j, 7:41s, 7:20sp, 7:47s, 8:52j, 7:51s, 6:53sp, 7:35s, 9:43j)

Next time hopefully less all over the place and more consistent with the paces!

So I guess I am having great luck as far as breaking things goes. Treadmill is still broken. I put my gar in on to,charge last night and this morning it wouldn't even turn on. So went on feel, looked at the clock when I left and when I got back. Approx 40 min or 8 min pace

Treadmill is up and running again! Ran about 1.6 miles and accidentally hit the power cord and had to start over.

Ran 5.4 miles at a ski resort in Enumclaw, WA. All downhill, but a good way to ease back into treadmill running. 7:32 pace for last 5.4 miles.

3.26 miles at 1% incline. 167 feet elevation gain, 23:35 overall time, 406 calories, 7:13 pace

1.10 miles at John F. Kennedy Memorial. 12 feet elevation gain, 7:55 overall time, 132 calories, 7:12 pace.

Had to try to get a run and shower in before the repairman showed up to fix the door that just shattered last night. So I was going to do an interval workout, but the treadmill had the intervals at a 0 incline and just changed the pace (which was slower than I wanted to go), so I just did an improvised tempo (not even sure if I can call it that since it wasn't quite as fast as I would tempo), but it was faster than I have been going.

Showered and got dressed right as the repairman showed up, so perfect timing.
