Woke up, got dressed and headed out to the kitchen at 5:07. Looked out the windows and it was already light out.. Hey cool. Not very fond of running in the dark.. Got the fuel belt loaded w/ accelerade, gel and my ipod in the front pocket. I was wanting to try the fuel belt out and thought I'd need the extra fuel to get my 6 in. Headed out and after a quick adjustment the fuel belt worked great. Even forgot I had it on. Rubbed a little on my left hip bone after a while but I just moved it a little and it was fine.
A brisk morning but it was sunny so it didn't seem too bad. A huge full moon still hung in the sky which was beautiful. Early on I met a guy running toward me and I had to laugh a little because he was dressed as if it was 25 degrees out.. heavy running pants, sweatshirt and who knows how many layers underneath, hat and gloves! I just smiled and ran by in my shorts and t-shirt....
My goal for this morning was to stay at goal marathon pace. I've been heading out a little faster than that lately so I concentrated at staying around 10:18.. My average pace was 10:14 so I did keep it down. NOT that 'keeping it down' is a problem for me by any means!!! That's quite easy for me..
Felt good this morning even after the speedwork yesterday and it was a good run.
Mile 1: 10:19
Mile 2: 10:15
Mile 3: 10:27 (walked to take the gel and a drink)
Mile 4: 10:21
Mile 5: 9:56
Mile 6: 10:16

Nice pace Kari!
Keep it up.
FWIW, after you are finished running or lifting are you supplying yourself with some quick protein? You have approx. 30-90 minute window.
i.e. Whey Protein shake
What you will find out after every workout, you will recover faster plus it will maintain/rebuild your muscle that you will be constantly tearing down.
Hey cool! My first comment!! :-)
Thanks!
Yes, I take the protein that Wayne sells.. can't for the life of me think of the name now tho.. You probably know.. I take it in the morning after a run and I have a container of it here at work so when I lift or do the track at lunch I have it when I get back.. I really do think it makes a big difference..
