Mileage
Walked .5
Ran 3 miles
And then just like that, you have a great run. I was supposed to run with friends at 6 am, to beat the heat, but I couldn't sleep most of the night (insomnia) and didn't end up going. So I went to the treadmill and ran the fastest 3 miles I've ever ran in my life. It was awesome. I ran a lap at a slow pace, moved it up for another lap, then cranked it out. I was going to slow down for the last .50, but just kept going at the fast pace. Pretty pleased with today's results.

Mileage
Walked .5 miles
Ran 3 miles
You know you it's hot when you run at 10:00 at night and it's still 86 degrees and the sweat just rolls off of you. It was a tough 3 miles. Sometimes you have good days where you feel like you could run forever, every step is a effortless and you feel great. Sometimes you have bad days when it's all you can do to put one foot in front of the other and trudge on. Tonight was one of the bad nights. We spent the day at Oceans, and walking around barefooted on that concrete made my feet hurt. And adding in the heat...it was tough. But I did it.

Zumba--1 hour
Bobby was working again tonight, so I didn't have much of a chance to get a run in. I went up to the dance studio and did the Zumba class I did last week. Except...I was the only one. Talk about some one-on-one attention! It's pretty obvious in a situation like tonight that I have no dance moves and am pretty uncoordinated. But, it was fun and she didn't point out how bad I was.

Ab workout
Tonight was just one of those nights where it was hard to fit in a workout. Did a bunch of ab exercises before bed. I always have trouble getting my shoulders off the ground when doing crunches, so worked extra hard on that tonight.

Mileage
walked .5 miles
ran 2 miles
We were gone all weekend, but I wanted to get a little run in tonight since it had been Thursday since I ran. It was a quick 2 miles in the neighborhood in the dark. Very humid, and had to watch for people shooting off fireworks in their driveway.

Mileage-
walked .50 miles
ran 3.1 on treadmill
My time to run is varied, depending on Bobby's schedule and the girls. I have to take my windows of opportunity when they are available. Today that window was in the middle of the day, when it was about 85 degrees with the bright sun beating down. I elected to go to the fire station and run on the treadmill.
Ran 3.1 straight. Took a few tiny breaks, of about 10 seconds each, to get a drink so I didn't fall off the treadmill into the concrete wall behind me.

Zumba--1 hour
Took a break from running and did a Zumba class at the girls' dance studio. There were only 2 of us, plus the instructor, so it was a bit awkward. I have no dance moves, but managed to keep up and work up a pretty good sweat!
