Fondamenta Mocenigo, Venice. 5.05 miles. 39:45 overall time. 7:51 pace. 215 elevation gain. 629 calories.

1.88 miles around Statue of Liberty. 13:30 overall time. 7:11 pace. 0 elevation, 225 calories.

Going to try to get up and run outside tomorrow...hoping for a short 3 mile tempo around 7 min pace. It will be interesting to see how this half marathon goes in early June. Especially since most of my runs are on a treadmill.  I know I won't be breaking any records, but it will be nice to see where my fitness is.

4.00 miles/30 min fartlek on the treadmill. 1 min at each (7mph, 8mph, 9mph, 8mph, 7mph.....) I thought it was going to be harder than in was. It was a good workout, but I could speed it up again next time. 1%incline. 7:33 pace. 208 ft elevation gain. 495 calories.

1.70 miles around Washington Monument. 12:15 overall time. 7:12 pace. 32 feet elevation gain. 206 calories.

My baby got up just after 6 am, I fed her and she immediately went back to bed. I crawled back into bed and tried to be lazy, but I just couldn't do it today. Cam had already gotten up to get ready to head to school, so I got up and jumped on the treadmill with the intention of running a quick 3 mile tempo before all my kids started waking up.

3.05 miles in Tombstone, AZ. 21:15 overall time. 6:58 pace. 175 feet elevation gain, 381 calories. Felt like I could have gone faster, but since I didn't warm up it was probably perfect.

Cam had headed to school and all my kids were still asleep so I ran 2 more in Asia (7:41 pace), then 2 more in Kilkenny Ireland (7:34 pace), older 2 woke up and I turned on a show and did 2 more on the Golden Gate Bridge (8:25 pace), and wanted to finish it out and run an even 10, but ended up doing 2 more in some Corn Fields (7:19 pace)

Last 8 miles: 598 feet elevation gain, 62:30 overall time. 1025 calories. 8.06 miles. 7:45 pace.

Feeling like I can have a decent half marathon in a month. Not going to get any personal bests or anything, but I think I will be happy with how far I have come since having a baby in Dec.

1.31 mile warmup to the REV high school track. It was kind of weird to be running outside and not on the treadmill. 8:31 pace in 11:07.

3.76 miles total. 10x400 meters with a 200 meter jog between each. Goal pace was 1:30 for each 400 meter interval.

1:29, 1:29, 1:31, 1:31, 1:30, 1:31, 1:30, 1:31, 1:31, 1:32.

Better than the last time I did this workout. But I was feeling pretty tired today. Most mileage this week than I have done in a long time.

1.37 miles slow cooldown. 13:29, 9:39 pace.

Started with 2.88 miles in Sempione Park, Milan Italy. I wasn't sure I was going to run today. Cam caught a bug and I am doing everything I can to stay healthy for one more week. But I just couldn't help but get a run in. 21:50 overall time, 7:35 pace. 11 feet elevation gain, 346 calories. 

Girls were being good so I did another 3.02 miles. Calle Dietro Ai Magazzini, Venice. I think they had the camera on a boat going down the river, so I was running on the water. Couldn't do that even if I visited Venice! 22:35 overall time, 7:28 pace. 122 feet elevation gain, 374 calories.
