Vacation time

Did a fast speed session today, min running 5.2mph,max 5.7mph , so a bit difficult, had t take more breaks but finished it and can go for vacation 10 days with a clear mind.

Actually not so clear, reviewed blog and realised in the last 11 days have only done LSD, speed sessions and elliptical- no regular run!. Which I am supposed to do twice a week. I think the elliptical took over, it seems so new and fresh. Well, the marathon is not on the elliptical, its a run/walk marathon, so come back to R/W. Maybe for next few days will do some easy runs outside. 'Easy runs'!!!
Am taking my running clothes and shoes, I love my workout clothes the best:), the regular clothes are so difficult to fit right.

Might not blog for a few days, tho should be able too, computers are everywhere, but I am never comfortable on someone elses computer.
