I can do it. I will do it NINE times!

Got an email today from Coach Reeder with workout information for the summer. He'll be sending a weekly workout for the team, so now I have some kind of structure to my training! This week's workouts are:

M - 56 min.
T - 48 min.
W - 54 min.
R - 48-56 min. w/6x15 sec. at 3k pace w/45 sec. recovery
F - 40 min.
S - 72-80 min.

I'll go along with these but still go by feel and maybe get a bit more in if I'm feeling good. 

Everett insisted on running 1.5 miles with me this morning, so we did. Wondered how 'fast' we were going, so I wore the watch. 11:03/mi avg, total time-16:20. Is that slow for an 8 year-old? It sure felt slow.

After that, I had not the greatest run, my legs are tired from all the snorkeling this weekend and the 10-miler on Saturday. Oh, well. Done and done! Avg. 8:02/mi, total time-56:16. (Adrenaline 341.1)

Total of 25 push-ups and 150 crunches today. 

Sick of sucky runs! Nice and rainy, but legs still pretty tired out. Back of left knee being kinda lame. Did 20 pushups and 100 crunches before the run and two 20 sec. strides at the end of the run. Avg. 8:00/mi, total time 48:02. (DS3 326)

Had an emergency, so I jogged a bit this afternoon... we needed eggs for our snickerdoodles but had none, so the boys and I ran to Steven and Sons to get some. Simon got tired, so I gave him a piggy back for half of it. Good thing we were jogging so slow! (DS3 327)

Today's total push-ups: 35, crunches: 200.

My abs and arms are sore from starting up doing lots of pushups and crunches these last couple of days! 15 pushups and 100 crunches this morning. Ran to the church and back. The run today was faster than most lately, so that was good, I guess. I'm getting wimpy, I think. There were some medium-sized hills in this run and they almost killed me! 7:52/mi avg., total time 55:04.

When I got back, I ran .25 with Simon at 13:00/mi pace, then 1 mile with Everett and Ila at 10:30/mi pace. Those kids are crazy! (Adrenaline 349.3)

Did 15 pushups and 100 crunches before the run. Then I ran 26 minutes out, then back on the airport road and did my little pickups on the way back. Apparently I can't count because I did 9 instead of 6 like I was supposed to. Oh well! The run started out really crappy from 10 tacos last night, a fast 5 mile hike and sleeping on the couch most of the night, but it got better as the run went on. Total time - 50:51. (DS3 333.3)

I need a new attitude, I've decided. I keep on having sucky runs and I should get over it! So, no more suckiness will be allowed anymore! Maybe once a week if it's really bad, but no more than that. Slow and a bit sore today. 5 miles on the ocean road out and back, 8:09/mi avg. Total time - 40:44.(Adrenaline 354.3)

Later I ran a little 4 miler on the west side of the island. Wasn't too bad except for a couple of odd run ins. Good thing I can run faster than some idiots! 8:09/mi avg. (DS3 337.3) 

Totals: Pushups - 55, Crunches - 200, Situps - 50 (sorry Karl, not 100...)

Same loop as last week. Faster than usual and crazy; I wore myself out! Now, to the beach.... Avg. 7:54/mi. (Adrenaline 364.3)

I just found out there is actually a 10k race! HERE! But... we'll be in Apia (Western Samoa) from July 3-8 and it's on the 4th, so I'm going to miss it! I'm so sad! Talk about rotten luck. I guess I'll have more chances to run 10k races, but not more chances to go to Western Samoa, so it's not that big of a tragedy. I guess. But still depressing.
