Shoot for the Stars

Played 2 1/2 hrs of flag football at BV with the young adults from AAA church. IT was so much fun!! It was 5 on 5 so I was able to play a lot more this game!! Still under the weather some so didn't do my long run:( Should feel good for a run on Tues with the girls. I'll catch up soon for the long runs...Had enough exercise with football for the day.

Very proud of my run at BPA trail with Nicole. I have been under the weather with a cold the last week and I felt more energetic today. It was still a hard run but I surprised myself with being able to run 4.54 miles! Great to get back into running after about 4 days without it. Windy though but no rain. Ran normal route and back, plus a little extra loop toward celebration park near the end to get atleast 4 miles +.

TT: 42:39 min      Avg: 9:24 min    HR: 148 bpm      Max: 7:50 min   HR: 166 bpm

Miles: 9:20, 9:24, 9:37, 9:22, 9:12   (mile 2 and 3 may have had some hills in it)

Felt fairly good but still a struggle to get done with 4.5 miles. Happy with run and no leg pain.

Les Grove Park. I tried out a new place in Auburn near the library. It was just nice to have a new pace of scenary, however the only prob with it was a big muddy area on one part of the 1/2 mile walking path. Normally the run would be fine but looks like there was some construction going on. I did feel very tired; prob sore from yesturday. I took it slow but it was tough running just 3 miles. Kinda waiting for it to be done, but did fine endurance wise. It was great, it rained all day except right before my run, how perfect!!!

TT: 27:50 min Avg: 9:16 min Max: 6:46 min

Miles: 9:04, 9:27, 9:18 (the puddle of mud kinda slowed me down on one part of the track)

Ran/walked a slow short run with my roomie from Loma Linda. We didn't have much time so we ended up not even running a mile. We basically walked most the way too. Brief work out. Ran from her home to Mission Rd along there and back.

TT: 14:21 Min.        Avg: 15:52 min. 106 bpm     Max: 9:45 min   136 bpm

Easy run; didn't feel tired. Nice to talk with my friend though!

Ran a long run up near Big Bear, CA. My friend/past roomie and a bunch of her brides maids and mother in law stayed up in a cabin in Crestline. I ran some hills today and so proud I was able to complete them and run a nice longer 6 mile run. I tried the run/walk aproach this time because I've been reading it can be very beneficial. I also didnt' want to over do it with the hills. I tried to jog slower or walk down the hills. Tough run! The hills really beat me up but I felt pretty good. Slight knee pain L side but not enough to worry about. Ran from cabin cont. on Rd we got there and all around. Then back past the cabin and up to the main street and back. (I couldn't tell you the street names, hard to describe my route) very hilly and curvy roads; windy too!! Cool weather up there in the mtns.

TT: 1:05:50    Avg: 10:58 min   157 bpm     Max: 4:47 min 172 bpm
