Discouraged

May 11, 2011 101 days to go.
Didn't get out for a run today. Today is speedwork day. All day I fought about whether to run or not. My knees are not hurting as much as yesterday, but I feel very vulnerable.  It poured rain alot of the day. Around 8:00 pm a rainbow came out and I seriously considered it for a moment, but then not.

May 10, 2011 Easy 20 minutes
Knees are really sore. Spent alot of time icing them. No run today.

May 9. 2011 Easy run 15 minutes
Once again thankful for the 15 minutes easy run after a long run. Went to 6th and back - 16 minutes. Stopped at Jen and Jer's on the way home to watch the 3rd period of the hockey game. Canucks won. Go Canucks!

May 8, 2011 Sunday Long run 75 minutes  Mother's Day
Woke up at 6:00 am and wrestled with my warm bed for half an hour. Finally decided to get my long run in before the festivities of Mother's Day and then church. Ran along the seawalk going a pace average 8 minutes per kilometer.  Had to make 2 pottie stops. Stomach a bit queezy.  Thank goodness the toilet was unlocked as it could have been a disaster otherwise.  Came home and iced my knees.  Iced them several times throughout the day.

May 7, 2011 Saturday. Sopposed to be easy run, but I did tempo run.
Tempo run along the seawalk - 5 minutes easy, 15 minutes pace about 6:35 per km then 5 minutes easy. I added a bit to beginning and end of run so did another 10 minutes easy.

May 6, 2011
Didn't get out the door early and then the day took over. Band concert tonight. Decided to do tempo work Saturday.
