Monday...

I got up, walked the dog, got the kids dressed and fed and went to the Y. I told myself that I was running 6 miles. I ran 4.9 and called it a day... In addition to hating winter, I also hate the treadmill -- or at least I do now. I can't believe how SLOW the time passes... I tried last week to mix it up with some elliptical, but I have to say that the eliptical hurts my knees... Strange but true.

I ran around and did errands after the almost 5 miles and only had a banana and a few M&Ms that my daughter shared (a bribe for getting to finish the errands without a meltdown). Needless to say I was hungry when I got home. BUT, I ate good food and dilligently logged it in Spark - I like that site!

And now I think I need a new running bra. This probably falls in the relm of TMI but I had a breast reduction 2 years ago and the scars under my breasts are really killing me! I can't wear underwire anymore!!! Anyone with sports bra recommendations ?? I feel like I've tried them all! I am hurting so much after Saturday's run with what I thought was a good fit - champion, underwire support without the underwire (not!) that I am home bra-less, hoping that the pain will go away! At least now I can go bra-less.

Tomorrow I run 4 miles. I was going to punish myself and go for 6 again, but I really want to just keep following the plan and consider today a recovery run. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to speed things up and get a good workout in! Again, I really want to get the most out of my training and do more than just cross off the miles from my list. I guess that means that if I am so bored with the treadmill that I should either - try and take the dog for a jog - or jog first and walk her when I'm done... hmmm... I could be on to something. We'll see how I feel in the morning!
