It's the last day of January!!!!  Wahoo!!!  I hate January!  Can't wait for the warmer weather to come back!

Did my sprint workout on the treadmill this morning.  Kinda dragging.  Did not sleep well last night, and woke up groggy this morning.  Guess that's what happens when you try to take a nap after church on Sunday.  Someday I'll learn.

Ran on the treadmill at a 6.0 this morning for 3 miles.  Boring.  Gotta cut back on the coke.  I was doing so good there at the beginning of January and I don't know what happened.  Needless to say, I can tell it's affecting me.  Did Jillian this morning, too, just feeling tired lately, no motivation.  Course, that could be due to the arctic temps outside right now!!  Can not wait for spring!!  Hopefully, going to bed a bit earlier tonight and have more energy in the morning.

Did my tempo run on the treadmill today.  Went to bed a little earlier last night so felt a little less tired this morning.  Was a good run today.

6.0 on the treadmill this morning.  Didn't sleep well again last night, but was much more tired this morning.  Hubby is in Steamboat Springs until tonight, I have a hard time sleeping alone, so glad he will be home tonight!!  Finished it off with Jillian's workout.  Tomorrow is a rest day, yeah!  Here's hoping the deep freeze will be gone by Saturday, REALLY don't want to go out in it.

10 miles this morning!  The pathetic part is that it's been 2 months since I've done this.  Stupid winter and sickness!!  Two months ago I hadn't missed a 10 mile week in over a year.  Sad.  But, at least I've started back again.  Did it in 1:35, so we average 9:30 min/mile.  Not great, but okay, all things considered.  Mile 6 was our best again, think it was between an 8 and 8:30.  It always is the fastest, bit of downhill, plus it helps when some jerk decides to honk at you on the road.  It's 7:00 a.m. - is that really necessary??  And, no I wasn't in any danger of being hit.  So, that sped me up a bit :)

By mile 8 I was getting pretty tired.  And hungry.  The last 2 miles felt a bit slow, but we pushed on.  Made us sprint the last 50 yards to the finish.  Kind of a nice change for the muscles :)  Glad the weather cooperated today, too.  It was a balmy 33 degrees when we left this morning.  Balmy, yes.  When the high has been 15 or so earlier this week, 33 feels quite pleasant :)
