15 miles total for the week. Here’s how it worked out:
Monday: 2 easy miles @ 9:26 average. I played around with the incline a little, but it was such a short run, that it was over quickly. This is the only 2 mile run scheduled for the training cycle, so I’m going to appreciate it and remember how badly I wanted to keep going when I’m in the middle of a long tempo run and dying to quit.
Tuesday: Off
No running and I really didn’t do anything else unless we can count taking the stairs on my way to work.
Wednesday: 3 easy miles…..outside!!!!
It’s finally a little lighter out in the mornings and I’m loving it.
Ruger hasn’t been out of the house or backyard for so long, other than our short walk last weekend, that he seemed a little confused about what exactly we were doing.
He got over it as soon as he saw his first rabbit.
Thursday: Pilates in the morning and 3 easy treadmill miles after work at a 10:20 pace. I always set the incline to 1%, but sometimes play around with it a little to help pass the time.
Friday: 3 easy miles at 9:52 on the treadmill……again……
Saturday: 4 easy miles at 10:08 on the treadmill. I was going to run outside, but the sidewalks and street were as icy as a skating rink. I made it from my front door to the street, slipping and sliding, and immediately turned around and skated back up into the house. 
Seth sent a flower arrangement to my work for Valentines Day and my dad sent the boys cards and $5!
They were super excited!
And last, but not least, I scored a super sweet deal on a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 18’s at DSW yesterday. I’ve had two pairs of the Wave Creations in the past that I loved before I started wearing Brooks Pure Project shoes, but I need something that will last a little longer for this training cycle and these should do the trick.
