Feeling great after yesterday's group six-miler.
Long run time! Mixin' it up today with a 10 mile treadmill circuit

• 3 miles on the treadmill (7.0 speed)

The whole work out took about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Looong time to spend at the gym but it actually went by really fast. Combination of strength, endurance and cardio = Totally worth it!

 Feeling good today!! Thought I might still have some stiffness/soreness from my Sunday run but I didn't! Woo hoo. Also spent a little time on the foam roller getting out some tightness. What an awesome recovery tool.

And look what I discovered!! Portland Marathon Free Group Runs!

Yay! Saturday mornings starting April 7th. Such good motivation. Definitely ready for spring and summer runs and getting moving with some other people! --MORE ON GROUP RUNS

2/22 - Wednesday
In a rush today because I had to be downtown at 8:30 am w/traffic so I had to get up at 5 and squeeze a workout in

• 2 fast miles on the treadmill
• 5 fast miles on the stationary bike
• 1 really fast mile on the treadmill
• 15 minutes on the stair stepper at 160 steps per minute

All took about an hour. Good workout but I would have liked to get some more strength in!

2/23 - Thursday

• 2 mile warm-up run at an 8:30 mile
• 1 hr yoga class

Done by 7am! Really tired today. Wanted to do a PM workout but was definitely not up for it. Big run and strength day tomorrow I hope!

2/24 - Friday

5 mile am run followed by a HUGE strength circuit with Colin.
Arms and core. It was killer.
Focused on biceps, triceps and abs using the medicine ball.

2/25 - Saturday
Spent the weekend in Pendleton at a Bed & Breakfast and today we did a 4.5ish mile run through town. It was absolutely freezing and the winds were blowing at like 50 miles an hour but we powered through it.

At least it wasn't raining... :)

Total Weekly Mileage: 29.5

Had some different types of run and some awesome inspiration this week! Bring it week 8!!
