Outside again, yippee!  I love my Garmin SOO much.  It makes running so much more fun, motivating, and I get to know ACCURATELY how far I have gone/fast I've gone, which I love.  I think it will me so much with getting faster.

Total time: 41:51, 8:21 miles average, yippee!  Love that.  Even better, my last mile I really tried to pick it up and I did a 7:28 mile!  Granted, it was a little uphill, but still!

Splits:

8:56, 8:40, 8:24, 8:19, 7:28.

Total Ascent: 466 feet.

3 miles at 6.7, .3 walking cool-down. I waited so late, until after Lost, it was already 10:15 by the time I started, I just felt too guilty not to.

Got up early this morning to work out since I have class tonight and I'm not sure I'll be up to it tonight.  I'm tired of always working out at 10pm because I've put it off all day.  I think if I can get up early (Fridays are obviously out because I already get up for class at 6) 3 days a week and work out in the morning, at least 3 miles, then I can also try to work out a few nights a week as well.  Maybe I'll try to do 3 more miles tonight.

But this morning I did 3.1 or so at 6.7, the last .25 increasing to 7.5.  Walking .2 cool-down.  Apparently the Olympics start exactly a year from today at Whistler so watched a little special on that on the Today show.  What an indulgence!  The Today Show!

On the beach in Lincoln City with Rachael and the dogs - it was a surprisingly gorgeous day, and the dogs were having the best day EVER.  Cooper loovveessss freedom and to leave that leash behind, and then to be able to run in the water too - AWESOME!  Felt like we were running pretty slow, maybe 10 min/miles, and my legs were feeling that sand running later.  Wind in our face the whole way back (south wind for once, so we ran the wrong way!).  I wish I could run on the sunny beach with Cooper every single day.
