Today's Workout: 3.2 miles , 28:15 minutes

So...I figured out what my problem is.  I ran outside this morning and I remembered every reason why I LOVE to run!  Greeting the morning, watching the sunrise, breathing that delightful morning air.  It is all so fantastic and I didn't realize how much I had missed it.  I ran the fastest 5k time ever, and I am feeling great about it.  So...it's outside for me as much as possible.  Hooray!

Today's Workout, 2.10 miles in 21 minutes.

Nothing much to say.  I ran today, so that is that.  I had a burst of energy afterward so I got a lot of cleaning done and organizing around the house.  However, my hair is getting really thin, so thin that my hairdresser pointed it out.  It worries me a little that I might need an old lady haircut, you know really short.  I feel tired a lot, I am not sure what is going on.  But today, well today I ran!

Today's Workout: 2.19 miles, 25:03 minutes, 273 calories burned
Plus...3x12 chair steps and 3x12 pulses, each leg.  3x12 pushups, and some squats.

So...Nick is sick and at home today.  I took advantage of that situation and slept in, then when the boys woke up I got them all fed and situated with a movie and then did my workout.  Nick was keeping an ear open for any fights or emergencies.  It is a beautiful thing, working out in sunlight!  It makes me happy and running makes me happy. I am just so tired lately I can't seem to get up early to do it.

WHAT!  It's my 100th day of running!  That is cool!

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

It was the ides of March.  There is no other explanation for my complete absence from running these past three weeks.  I just didn't want to, couldn't wake up, and felt horrible every single day.  Well, I'm back!

Today's Run: 2.0 miles in 20:14 minutes

It's basically like starting from scratch, but Nick assures me that if I am consistant that I should bounce back quickly.  I forgot how much better I feel when I get up and get moving in the morning.  I think that I am going to have to fight myself every day for a little while to do it, but eventually I will get back into my habit!

Next run: Ward 5k, April ....something.  I would like to beat my last 5k time of 29 minutes.  My goal is going to be 28:28.  Here we go!

Today's Goal: 6 miles

Today's Workout: 3.2 miles in 33 minutes

Today was a nice morning, so after my run I decided to run around the street at a sprint.  Sort of to test the waters of the outdoor run.  Man!  Treadmill running is so much different than outdoor running!  I have a lot of work to do.
