Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Plan for the week:

Monday:  4 + Weights

Tuesday:  6

Wednesday:  Yoga

Thursday:  6

Friday:  4-6

Saturday:  10

Total Mileage:  30

Mileage might be a little high and we will see how the hip feels.  I am hoping writing down the plan will help with follow through when the week gets crazy. 

5:15 am 75 degrees  94% humidity - it has got to stop!

I did my normal 2 mile warm up and then some hills at a picked up pace.  Nothing really spectacular.   I ended up getting home later than I had planned and Monday's are crazy.  My husband drives the early morning seminary carpool and I have to take my daughter to volleyball practice so I missed the weights - will try to get them in tonight.

Ave Pace 9:08

Happy Running!

Warmed up with my regular warm up  for 2 miles and then did the same work out the BBK's did last week.   1 mile of 1 min on/off; mile 2 - 2 min on /off  mile 3 - 3 min on/off.  They had two more miles to the work out but I am not there yet, so I finished off with a 1 mile cool down.  It wasn't as bad as I made it out to be in my mind and it made the time go fast.   Splits for the work out portion:  8:23, 8:09, 7:49.

Ave Pace 8:42.

Happy Running!

I had originally planned for a tempo workout today but woke up not feeling well at all and convinced myself that I could take it easy if I still felt bad after 2 miles.   Warmed up for 2 miles and then ran hills (there are lots where I live) for the rest of the mileage.  I ended up feeling pretty good and pushed,  not quite to tempo pace, but not to bad with the hills.  

Workout splits:  8:39, 8:51, 8:46, 8:45

Ave Pace:  8:55

Happy Running!

6:15 am   71 degrees   94% humidity

Best run in a very long time and I felt great the entire time and could have run longer.   This was my longest run since May and I am happy it went well.   My route was flatter than what my normal routes are but I did have 5 miles (1 mile segments each) throughout that had rolling hills.   The only negatives where that my knees started bothering me a little in the last mile, most likely due to shoes with to many miles and increasing mileage, and that  that I experienced the worst chaffing - EVER!  I could feel my shorts rubbing but had no idea how bad until I got home - OUCH!

Splits:  9:52, 9:07, 8:55, 8:52, 8:51, 8:26, 8:32, 8:30, 8:11, 8:11 (last mile up hill home - hoorray!)

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE RUNNING TOU!

Off to a busy day of soccer, volleyball and baseball.   I will be glad when it is done and I am in bed.

Avg Pace:  8:45

Happy Running!
