5 miles on the TM (it was so cold and windy). It felt pretty good. I was trying to push myself a little ...push through the discomfort. Teach my body and mind that it can do it! :)

Saturday -- 7.16 miles!!! I think that might be my longest run to date. It was slow ... but I felt pretty good. I am always a mental case when running. But the last couple miles my body felt fine but it was my mind that was a mess. I have got to figure out the mental part of running.

Monday -- Pilates and kettle bells. Pretty good workout. Then I headed to the gym for a quick run. (around 2 miles is all) I am trying run at least a little everyday.

Monday -- Pilates. I had a great workout. A full reformer and kettle bells. I added a some weight and some exercises. It felt good.

Saturday I headed to the canyon trail for a nice run. The weather was beautiful! A perfect day. I headed out with 6 miles in mind. I ended up doing 5.25. I was slow and heavy. My legs were tired. This running thing is not going so well. I am feeling a little discouraged.

Had an ok run this morning. Ended up doing 3.5 miles. I think I need to learn to push myself harder or something. Ugh ... running!

Monday I went for a run. I set out to do 6 miles. Well that didn't happen. I felt like junk! Four miles was all I was able to accomplish. An hour later I went to Pilates. I have been so hit and miss with my pilates. It was a nice work out.

Saturday, the designated long run day, was suppose to be a 6 miler. It was cold and snowing (Utah spring!) and I just couldn't make myself go outside. I headed to the gym and got a nice 4 miler in. I have slowed down (hard to imagine I know) but I feel so much better and actually find myself enjoying my run. I have come to accept that running for me is not, nor ever will be about time. I am not a naturally fast runner. I am sure with some consistency and time I may get a little faster. It is just not something I am going to worry about right now. Taking that pressure off myself has made running a lot easier!
