| went for great morning run in windsor, approx 6k, sunny, no breeze, with my bf and bro-in-laws and learned some neat stuff (how to get to target heart rate, how to train for distance vs speed, why music is annoying while running!). needed 2 walking breaks but they were short. | |

| evening run, 15*, drizzle. an excellent run (for me) - 6K in 39:50. no walking breaks and base pace throughout. low point was on the home stretch - it had gotten dark and some jerks in a red 4 door beeped their horn and really startled me. i was on a path beside the road so there was absolute no danger involved - they were just being jerks. | |

| pretty good for my first 5K. got in under 30 which was my goal. very hot sun for first 1/2 and found that a bit tough. hardly any breeze. also tough to try to get around all the walkers - not sure why they were in the 25-30 min category! felt like I could have gone a lot further - but not that much faster. next race will be a 10K! | |

| have been at a conference all week and have had a hard time getting some running in. did a combo walk/run tonight in the dark. tired all over due to 5 hour nights since saturday but still felt good to get some fresh air and even a meagre 2.4 miles in. am full of kinks and definitely need some yoga. conference ends sat and hope to return to normal monday. | |
