2010 Training Log for CIM

I run in "them thar hills".  Thought that I ran more than 13 miles, but measured the course in the car.  It was only eleven and took 2 hours and forty-five minutes.  I am not at all trying to run very fast.  When I fell like stopping and stretching, I do it.  I walk up steep hills - and at other times as well.

 Isn't this what aerobic conditioning is supposed to be like?

My heart rate is about 120. 

Course - over Spring Street bridge, to first set of mailboxes, up American Hill, and return.

Time: 56.37 (5 miles)

Slept well last night, probably because my foot is getting better.  Went to doctor.  Young guy.  Agreed that I should loose some weight.  Even said that I looked over weight.

 I will be competitive in my age group when I get to my new weight.  I am patient, but persistent. 

Not sure what the weight gain means.  Probably nothing.  I am staying within my daily calorie goals.

Had a little rock in my shoe at the beginning of Champion Mine Rd.  It flipped out of my hand and rolled about 20 feet down a steep embankment when I took it off my foot.   Pretty tough getting to it, and getting back up to the road.

 Sutter just watched and waited.

The fair is tonight.  Will eat before going.  I don't want to load up on greasy corn dogs and other fatty foods.  My stomach can't take it.  And I don't want the calories. 

 8 miles... 

I am tired. 

Dry run.

 Today I begin my 34th year of teaching.  Got up at 5:15 and will be ready to head down the hill at 6:30.  Hope that I can stay with my new eating habits, and have the energy to run in the afternoon.

I think so.

The weight is coming down!

Did not have the time to write down every calorie today.  Did well.  Had two 100 calorie ice creams and two Odwalla bars. 

Sarah engagement shoot.  I am not going to worry too much about calories today because tomorrow my long run.
