Comments- Felt GREAT! I did several new dynamic stretches before we left the apartment and really warmed up my body well... it worked! My Garmin shows we were going about 7 minute pace for a good while on the way back... exciting! Tomorrow may be 8:40 pace, but I'm not going to take any of these days that I feel good on for granted!

details:
Where- grass track at DBU
Average Pace- 7:21
Total Time- 11:05
Comments- Still really hard for me to run by myself.... I'm just horrible at managing my pace right now... it all still feels kind of weird so I really have no clue what I'm running unless I look down at my watch. Good run though... no pains... enjoyed getting out (even though it was before the sun came up today! haha!)!
*3 x 12 "pull" strength exercises of let-me-ins, let-me-ups with knees bent, let-me-ins with palms down, towel curls.

REST DAY!!!

Sunday, June 27th
[morning heart rate: 52]
*1.5 (ish) mile run with Jake!
details:
Where- Boulder Park Trails in Duncanville
Average Pace- ??? Not sure... the Garmins didn't work out there.
Total Time-13:45.
Comments- I LOVED running through trails. Lots of turns and quick, mini ups and and downs that distracted you from the run. The way out was a drag for Jake though... he had to take the brunt of the spiderwebs (thank you, Jake! :) love you!!). I think these trails will have to be a place where I run for time though. The Garmin was definitely not working out there, but I could easily get lost in those trails for a good out and back run!
*3 x 12 "core" strength exercises of double leg lifts, hyperextensions with hands under chin, russian twists, and swimmers.
*15' elliptical, 15' bike.
*yoga stretching routine.

Total mileage for the week: 5.54 miles.
Number of runs for the week: 4.
