So today at 6:30 pm is the 4 mile Zoom Through the Zoo race.
I do not feel ready at all, but my goal time will be 52 minutes which will give me an average pace of 13:00 minutes/mile. Hopefully I can keep that up in the awful hot that is the outside right now. It'll be in the mid-80's when the race starts. Ugh. I'll post the results on here tonight. Hopefully I don't die or anything. ;)
Who's idea was this anyway? LOL

4 miler Coming Quick!
Ran 1.15 miles in 14:10 @ 12:19 min/miles pace, weather was partly cloudy, temperature around 66 degrees, done on my super cool new treadmill. :)
It felt pretty good. I really had to get myself motivated to do it though... I was all set and ready to run on my way home from work, but when I got here I found out my crockpot dinner was half ruined. Sigh. So that took a lot of wind out of my sails today. But I did it and am very glad I did.The 4 Mile "Zoom Through the Zoo" is next Thursday evening. And then I get up Friday morning to be at the airport by 5:30am to go to Las Vegas for a long weekend with Danny. And then its just one month till my 10k! EEP!!
Gotta get more regular about this running thing again. Will be doing another mile tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a better day and will get out onto the street for it. :) Got to do it. Gonna do it.

Ran 1.06 miles in 13:25 @ 12:39 min/miles pace, weather was partly cloudy, temperature around 79 degrees, I realized today that I MUST have music while I run. My mood and recovery depends on it.
I think part of Wednesday's problem was that I didn't have music going. I also think its not just music that I need, I think I have trained myself to run to Cruxshadows. LOL That's what I ran to while training for the 5k and I think I have trained myself to react positively to that music when I run.
My mood and recovery was much, much improved today and I think that is mainly due to the music. I also have recovered from the Nashville stress which helped a lot too. :)

Time: 0 hr 08 min 55 secs
Pace: 12:55 min/miles

Ugh. Not good. I blame it on the hell that was the last two days trapped in Nashville floods. I got to that point and my body was done. I just could not go any further. Tomorrow will be better. It has to be.
I have offically signed up for the "Zoom Through The Zoo" 4 mile run that will be taking place on May 26th, "UPS Ultimate 10K" at the end of June, and the St. Jude 1/2 Marathon in December. Oh boy. The money is paid and non-refundable on all of these races so I'm stuck. Can't back out now!!!
