Well I am still slow (guess I always will feel that way). Did my 9 mile run on Sat. I felt good. Last 1 - 1.5 miles was a bit tough and would of loved to walked...but didn't.

I am so lucky here in Florida (excpet for running in the heat)...saw a couple of Manatee's during my run along the water. Overall a 11:30 min mile pace....hey I am under 12!

Today (Tuesday) was tempo on treadmill (yes, the torture device). But I felt better w/ this run than my tempo run a few weeks ago. Still embarassing to say what I put the treadmill on that is "fast for me"...but I see progress. And I did it! It is an accomplishment.

The long runs are easy...cuz I just go slow. It is the speed work and tempo that kill me (or the brick). But if i want to get faster this is waht I have to do!

I have a duathon on Saturday. I plan to just have fun!
