My plan was to do get up extra early, do the shred, then drive my son to seminary, then run. However, I was up too late last night dealing with kid's needs, so I talked my husband into driving the boy to seminary so that I could sleep an extra half hour. So I got up and did the shred level 1 with 5 lb. weights and then ran. I'm trying to build up the number of push ups I can do and the shred level 1 has push ups in it. I managed to do 11 on my feet on the floor, then the next time on push ups I did them standing, leaning against a ledge.

I headed north from my house and whenever I do that I start faster than I intend to because it's down hill. Also, I was warmed up from doing the shred.

Average pace: 10:07.

Splits: 10:06, 10:25 (long uphill in this mile), 9:49

Sounds like a really good run. I think it's great to have some speedy days. Sometimes when I'm late I take a route that starts downhill so that I can do a jog warm-up instead of my usual 3 minute walk. Hope you can get a short nap sometime today - 6.5 hrs. is a bit skimpy (at least for me).

Yes, 6.5 is a bit skimpy, but there's no chance of a nap. I've got to work all day, then hurry home and make dinner, and then go to a church women's meeting in which I have to tell them how I lost 50 lbs. over the last year. No rest for the weary.
