Running because I can!

Well I crashed this weekend but maybe it was what I needed. I ran 5.10 in 49 minutes.( Pr in 2,3,4and 5 miles)  Then I walked for a minute.  I felt realy good other than at the end my hip started to hurt a bit so I stopped.   I did about 20 minutes of weights and then I rode the bike for 10 minutes. 

 Gas has gone up so much I need to start getting my butt out of bed at 5am so I can drivwe my husbands company car to the gym. (Free gas)  Or just start running outside but then I am wasting my gym pass I paid for. 

I woke up a little sore today. I am wondering if this is part of the life(running) sore all the time?

I made myself run a 5k. My legs were feeling very tight towards the end.  I finished in 31 minutes. Then I walked at a very steep incline and that seemed to work out the tightness in my hips. (I know it is not my hip but the muscle in that area. )

I did 100 crunches and then I worked my arms for about 15 minutes. Then I rode the bike for 35 minutes. I like riding the bike when my legs get feeling stiff because it seems to get the blood flow or knots out. 

Now I am going to work on my yard.  I am getting anxious to start planting stuff.   

I had a hard time running today. I felt like I was running to fast so i would try to slow down and I felt like i was jaring my body. I finished my 5 miles in 51.45 but I walked a couple of times.   My legs are still stiff, but I worked in my yard for a couple of hours yesterday and was on my feet more than normal.

I worked my abs, then I rode the bike for 20 minutes.   

I felt pretty good on my way to the gym today. I thought I was going to have a good run, but I was wrong.  I got running and got tired so fast.  I walked about a half a mile after my first two miles but at a high incline. 

I did some weights and then I rode the bike for 30 minutes.  I feel good other than my legs are just tired.  I don't get how some of you just run, and run, and run. 

Yard work all day!  I have three gardens ready to plant and to flower beds all dug out. I am so excited!

I was hoping to have the best run today. I was feeling good and ready. My husband wanted me to go to the dump with him so I got all my running stuff on and went with him. About 10 miles away from home I told him to pull over and let me out cuz I was running home. Well he pointed out that there was no where to stop or a should for me to run on, so I ended up at the 8 mile mark.   About as the truck disapeared from me I relized how cold it was and how hard the wind was blowing and just my luck it was blowing right in my face.   I did not bring gloves so my hands froze and most of my treck home was straight so the wind was against me most of the way. At one point I got some pebbles in both my shoes. Big mistake I kept going because I thought if I took my shoe off it would get more rocks in there. So I went about three miles that way. My feet felt like the pebbles had completely cut through my feet before I sat down and took my shoes off and cleaned them out. I thought my feet were bleeding. (no blood)

So it took me two hours. Its a start.  My husband was thinking that he was going to go looking for me in 5 minutes and if he didn't find me he was going to call the police. (Kind of funny) I told him  not to worry until 3 hours had gone by. 

It is much more entertaining running out side verses the treadmill.
