Went to the gym this morning to get in my interval run on the treadmill. Did 2 x 1600 at a 7:30 pace, and then the 1 x 800 at a 7:20 pace.

Treadmill Interval Run @ 00:40:00

Been a bit of a whirlwind holiday weekend. Took a 6AM flight to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving with my Korean birth family. Had hoped to get in a run - had packed everything but my running bra so I got two days "off" in a row. Then flew back on Saturday morning and finally started my run at 3 PM. It was cold and I was very tired after getting little sleep in the past few days. However, I figured that it was probably some of the best training I could possibly get for ultra-racing. Planned a 19 mile route starting at Gasworks, to Ballard, over the bridge and along the waterfront to Royal Brougham through the I-90 tunnel to Lake Washington, back up via the arboretum, UW and finally along the Burke Gilman path home.

Saturday Long Run - 19 Miles @ 03:18:00

Was definitely whooped on Sunday and very sore. Was happy to support Beth as she ran the half and, took a nap and went to my favorite yoga class.

This morning, I went for a run from home and around Greenlake. I definitely felt better but was surprised (and disappointed) that my pace was still slightly over 10.

5.2 Mile Run @ 00:53:00

Went for a run this morning with Katie. We were half a mile shy of the 10 I was supposed to run but I was actually okay with that. Apparently already on Island Time :)

9.5 Mile Run @ 01:26:44

I actually woke up at 4:45 AM rested and ready to swim! It was humbling...apparently NOT swimming for @ three months can set one back a bit. Oh well...

2300 Swim Practice @ 00:55:00

Went for a nice run this morning in my neighborhood.

5.1 Mile Run @ 00:48:35

I was in bed by 9 PM, set my alarm for 4:45 with every intention of finally making it to 5 AM swim practice. However, when the alarm went off, my 4:45 AM self over-rode my 9 PM self and Wally and the covers won...

Maybe I will find my love for swimming in Maui again.

Did make it to spin class and because I had been cleared by the doctor, I went for it taking my HR up whenever prompted! Perhaps I should have been more precise when asking what I was cleared to do... my nose bled a bit after but not too badly.

Spin Class @ 00:52:00

Another aerobic run this morning in my neighborhood.

4.6 Mile Run @ 00:45:43

Was up way too late studying but woke up before my alarm to get in a very very very soggy run :(

5.5 Mile Run @ 00:52:43
