Rollin' THUNDER

I found a pair of old shoes at my parents house that I bought at the DI 8 years ago. I dont know what they are intended for, but I am going to try them for running.

mile 1 7.51.93       Slow mile, this is about the pace I want to go.

mile 2 8.48.09        Im pretty sure this mile is marked wrong.

mile 3 (same as 1, but in reverse) 7.47.85    

Easy pace for all miles, my knee felt fine the entire time, and my feet didnt hurt from these mystery shoes.

Started barefoot on the treadmill.

went 1.5 miles, feet started to feel a little warm, and my right knee started to get that funny feeling in it.

put on powers and ran 1.5

total 3 miles on the treadmill

time was about 9 minute miles. Im not sure if my treadmills mileage is correct.

4  miles on treadmill in 37:30.

Im still not convinced the distance tracker is right on the treadmill.

1.5 barefoot, felt good.

Knee feels good.

I signed up for the ogden full marathon today.

I was going to do 4 miles today, but as I was walking to my starting point I felt like I should only do 3. I still dont want to push the envelope to fast and re-injure my knee. My knee is feeling good, and I dont want to ruin that by trying to up my mileage to fast.

3 miles outside 23.25.95

mile 1 7.41.01 This mile felt good, I was right around the pace I want to be for my mileage build up.

mile 2 8.16.25 I still felt good, Im convinced this mile is marked wrong, but running a little extra shouldnt hurt, hopefully.

mile 3 7.28.69 With about half a mile left my knee started to let me know that it was there (it felt a little funny), so I slowed down. I didnt realize that I was going any faster than a 7.40-7.50, so I was surprised that even after slowing down I was still under 7.30.

Good afternoon run, hopefully I can keep my knee healthy and get up to some longer runs in a couple weeks.

Im getting sick of leg injuries/pains. My knee had been doing good, then I tweaked it playing basketball a couple of tuesdays ago. So I took MORE time off to let it heal. Then I played football 2 saturdays ago and learned how out of shape I really am, I was sore for 7 days afterwards. But I am back, I have made a goal to run 55 times this year. There are 67 days, and I dont run on sundays. I think that will give me 3 days off. My plan is to take baby steps all the way to a sub 3 hour marathon.

2 miles on treadmill 17.34.

Legs feel good.

3 miles on treadmill 27.06

Baby steps

I have a running plan to keep it low and slow for a long while. Started taking glucosamine/chondroitin supplements to hopefully help with the knee pains I have developed lately.

3 miles on the treadmill

28.04  9.01.33 per mile

knee feels ok, I can feel something on the inside under my patella, we will see.

3 miles on treadmill 29.04

Very slow run, about 1.5 miles (not all at once) at a 5-10% inicline.

Good run, legs feel good.

5 mile long run (if you can call it that) outside

3 miles slow easy, 1 mile run, 1 mile slow easy

mile 1 8.08.95

mile 2 8.01.89

mile 3 8.10.05

mile 4 6.34.01

mile 5 7.55.61

total 38.50.51

It felt great to get off of the treadmill and go run outside, I still feel like I am able to go way faster on pavement. I was only going to do 4, but I felt like I could do 5, so I did. My knees felt good the whole run, and I had no issues the whole run. Good fun run, nice weather. I sure hope it stays like this for the rest of the year.
