making a comeback!

I worked last night and the thing that woke me up today was the wind! So to avoid it I put my run off till this evening, following going to dinner with the kids and my in-laws. We stuck to salads but even after that I felt a little urpy towards the end of the run. I told myself I had to do 3 and would have liked to do 4 but I at least pushed past the minimum goal a little. It did feel pretty good for the most part but I never did avoid the wind, just ran with it in the dark instead, oh well the temps. were still great and I hear that is going to change tomorrow! :(

Ran bright and early for me today! Got up and went with my husband around 5:30. I thought it would be colder than it was... Nice surprise! We went 3 miles together and then I went another 2 by myself. Even though sometimes my pace is faster than it was with him I started to fall behind towards the end of the 3 together? I can't figure it out... I have done the same with mt friend Kara. The other day we ran 2.87 together average pace 9:30, felt like it killed me. The next day 5 miles alone average pace 9:30, felt hard but good? Today same story I finished with average pace 9:40 for the 5 today, and when I was with my husband there was no talking going on, just me hanging on! One thing that seems to hold me back is my lungs, I don't feel like I breath effectively... is there something that can help with this? My legs always feel fine it's just the huffing and puffing that seems to slow me? I guess that it is part of the overall fitness aspect to running but for others that I talk to including my husband he says that his legs fatigue first.

Well, really felt good to get out and get it done early today, wish I had the disipline to do that everyday!

Trying very hard to get a run in today and get out the door speedily too! Not doing very well at either, UHGG! I did one mile on the DREADMILL, and started a load of laundry. Did another and packed some clothes. Started #3 and got in 0.5 and had to take a phone call. Went back for another mile and then the phone rang again.... I'm not getting packed and not getting in much of a run either, need to focus on one so I'm done for the day, wanted five but....I'll try to make up for it later in the week (I hope!)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

Went on a nice run with Mik'L today (see her entry for details, mine will be the shrt version).

It was a little on the cool side, but we actually warmed up enough to shed a layer and then cool off and wish that we had it back.  I'm glad that I got it in because the rest of the week went down hill from there.  I can say this... running 6 miles with someone to talk with is so much nicer than going it alone, and goes by so much faster!! I love that!

Not too proud of the run today, but I did get out so I'm going to take credit for it.  I ran around a fieild by our family cabin and hoped it would be longer than it was.  The first part was a little up hill and sandy and rocky so I was working pretty good for about a mile and a half and then enjoyed a nice down hill run the rest of the way which felt good.  I should have extended but I couldn't make myself repeat the loop with the not so fun start.  The other road that I could have gone down has a dog that my sister-in-law already has scars from and I didn't feel like the adrenaline rush of how I could possibly out run it or hide from it so I wimped out and went home and had another lunch of all the bad Thanksgiving leftovers!  I know that Monday is going to be painful!  I have over-indulged for 3 days now and it will soon be time to pay the piper with my own self to thank!  But it was all worth it  we had the best Thanksgiving enjoying being with family and realxing!
