I ran on the treadmill at 5am before I had to start work. It wasn't the run I wanted, but I knew it was going to be a crazy day with family coming for Easter, so I'll take what I can get!

I did the circle in Bloomington today. I like the run because it has some small hills and is just about a 5K from my front door and back. I had a little bit of an tummy ache when I got done, I had lunch only half an hour before. Oh well, it's a beautiful day in St. George and I'm going to play outside some more.

six miles today. I took it nice and easy, 10m/miles I felt good and could have done more. I guess thats the point of an easy day hu?

Circle again.  Averaged a 9.20min/mile   I ranged from a 7:40 to  10:15 going up a hill. I had a headwind on the last mile that didn't make me happy, but what ya gonna do?  

Couple of questions--I read in Runner's World that for each pound you drop (if you have any to drop) you earn 2 seconds a mile.  Any thoughts if it's for real?

And for about a half mile or so during my run my left shoulder and up into my neck get really painful.  Do I just need to relax it? If so how? 

Anyway, thats it.  Hope you all had a wonderful run!

Treadmill.  I ran at the gym before our "biggest loser" weigh-in.  A couple of people on my team  worked out with me so I was pretty happy about that.  Everyone is doing so well!  I'm thrilled with them!  I was in such a great mood that I was full of energy, I ran a 9min/mile hoping to keep it up for quite a while.  But I stopped early to help set up at the weigh in.  Never got back to it--bummer

Six wonderful miles!  Two at 10mm, three at 9mm, one at 12mm.  It was a beautiful day and I loved it!
