4 miles with Anya and Lisa around Kent, I'm so glad I went, it was drizzling out and I really wanted to stay all warm and cozy inside but now I feel good.  Before hand we got our feet analyzed at Road Runner, which was really interesting.  Apparently I have high arches and major overpronation so I need a mega stability shoe, which is great, that's what I have.  I think I'll try to get the Saucony Hurricane 11 for my next shoe, its stability+. 

Lots of stopping at stop lights and crossing the street today and I didn't always stop my watch, so some slower splits today.

Splits: 11:20, 10:08, 10:17, 10:32

 6 days in a row of running this week (bad, but still good, in a bad way :-) ), a total of 21.1 actual running miles!  Yippee.  Next week I need to stick to 4-5 days of running, and do yoga on 3 days. 

**Did 5 more miles walking on the treadmill while watching a movie.  Was feeling a little guilty for overindulging a little yesterday so tried to work off some calories.

Made myself take the day off of running.  4 miles walking on the treadmill, plus (most) of my yoga video.

Ran 3 miles on the treadmill, then walked 2 more.  My ankle was kind of bothering me, but that cut from last Monday is really hurting, its a scab now so you can feel the tightness in every move (too much info??!!) so unfortunately its really hard to distinguish that pain from ankle fracture pain.  Hopefully its the scab.

Did my new p90x 10 min trainer lower body afterwards.

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill this morning.  1 at 10:54 pace, 2.5 at 10:00 pace, last .5 at 9:13 and increasingly faster pace.  I'll try to do my yoga video this evening.

Ran with Lisa at BPA Trail / Celebration Park this morning.  Ran 6 miles, a new record since the accident!  Yippee!  Took Cooper, and he was pulling the whole time, probably since it was a new place, he was happy. :-)
