easy 4 + 2 fast (Friday) and easy 3 today

Didn't have a chance to post yesterday.  I did an easy 4 (10 mpm) and then did 2 fast (9:13 mpm).  It was pretty hard, even on the treadmill.

Today I wanted to go longer, but I have the kids and the most I could squeeze out was a quick 3 miles.  Not sure how I'm going to get a long run in tomorrow.  I might end up having to do it on the treadmill since Raj won't be back until late Sunday night.

Gorgeous weekend here.  It was mid-80s today at nathan's soccer game.

Glad to see you are still at it hard. I have my long run (7 miles) tomorrow, too.

Why are you doing so many runs on the treadmill now? Get outside!

There are so many reasons, but here are a few:
(1) it's much less boring because I can watch TV;
(2) it's much easier because I don't have to worry about having someone watch the kids;
(3) it's a nice change-up after running the same route outside for months;
(4) it takes less motivation to go downstairs then it does to go out;
(5) it's easier to fit into my schedule because I can do it when it's dark outside;
(6) it's easier on my body because it's a softer surface AND I can drink gatorade the whole time;
and I could go on and on, but I think you get the point...

"Then" denotes an advancement of time. "Than" is a word used for comparison. Didn't you learn that from your show the other night?
