Today's Goal: Easy Run, 3 miles at 11:24 per mile
Today's Workout: 3 miles in 30 minutes, 10 minutes per mile
I had to hurry today, I slept in and still wanted to get a run in before N left for work. Basically I had a time crunch and it helped me run faster than I needed too. This is totally how I work, I love a deadline and I work well under pressure, even when it is self created. Some call it procrastination, I call it motivation. I think I might do this more often...

Today's Goal: 4 miles, including 2 miles @ 9:41, cool down
Today's Workout: 4 miles in 41:40 minutes, 503 calories
The details: I ran for 1 mile at 5.5 pace, roughly 11:00 min. mile. Then I ran at 6.5 for another mile, then varied between 5 and 5.5 for 1/2 mile and then another mile at 6.5, Last 1/2 mile was all the way from 7.0 down to 5.0.
I am not running the Salt Lake Half, it is just too dang expensive. 75 dollars, that is a lot of money and I just couldn't justify the cost. That is what I spend per week on groceries! Anyway, I am still training as if I were running and I am thinking of doing my own personal half marathon that morning. If the weather is good, that is my plan. Anyone out there care to join me?

Today's workout: 3 miles on the elliptical, 25 minutes total
So, there is another runner in the neighborhood. She beat me to the treadmill this morning. Sad.
I also did three sets of 9 pushups, guy pushups.

Today's Goal: Rest or xtrain
Today's Workout: 30 minutes on the elliptical, 3.01 miles
I have been eating tons and tons of carbs lately. I have stopped tracking my calories on my fitness pal and apparently that gave me a license to eat like a pig all the time. It's no good. I am going to do better today.

Today's Goal: Easy Run, 3 miles @11:24
Today's Workout: 2.54 miles in 34:39
Today was a bad day, there is a bunch of stuff going on with my family and I read about a million texts from various sisters on the way to the gym. Needless to say I walked the first 1 minutes of my workout, so that is why my time is so long. I had to leave early too because I had an appt. that I had to get ready for.

Today's Goal: : Long Run, 6 miles @ 11:27
Today's Workout: 2.04 miles in 21:55 on elliptical, 2.09 on bicycle in 10 minutes, 1 mile on treadmill in 9:08
Well, I just couldn't bring myself to run 6 miles today. It's trouble, I've kind of lost my motivation again. Anyway, I went to the gym and I did something. I felt guilty at the end so I tried to run a fast mile. I sort of did.

Ran on the treadmill at the hotel today. 2.5 miles in 25 minutes or something like that. I forgot to keep track but I just wanted to report that I did something. Plus, we walked the entire Las Vegas strip and back. That's a lot of walking!
