I ran mid-day today and it was better than the last time I did that. I felt good and even got some sun, always a plus.
Just my normal 5 miler, no slower and no faster. I actually keep a pretty even pace from one run to the next. I suppose that is good. | | Add Comment |
| | I finally got to run this week. Yeah!! I got off work early so I took advantage and put on my running shoes. I wish it would have been more but that was all I had time for. Hopefully tomorrow or saturday I can log some more miles. Run felt good, no more leg problems. | | Add Comment |
| | Finally some miles today!!!!! Yeah!!!!! I felt really good and the last 2 times I have ran 8 miles I have taken a couple minutes off my time. That is quite cool. Hopefully next week I can log some more miles with it staying dark later, that should help. | | Add Comment |
| | Once again I only had time for 3 before picking the daughter up at the babysitters house. I almost feel like 3 is pointless so I have to tell myself it is better than nothing and I need to try to do it faster. Anyway, I ran and I enjoyed it. That is what matters most. | | Add Comment |
| | I got off work early today so I took advantage again and ran. My normal 5 miler, out and back from the house. It was warm today, but I felt really good. No more leg troubles, I think the time off I had helped and not running everyday has also helped. I am excited for tomorrow because I should be able to fit a longer one in. | | Add Comment |
| | I only had time for 5 again, but I ran and like I say every time, at least I got to do that. I felt good and feel better as I run then I did when I first started. I didn't wear my watch so I am not sure how fast or slow I went but that is fine. | | Add Comment |

Tar n' Trail (6 Miles) 00:01:06 | | This was a run in Ashland Oregon. The race description said some uphill which wasn't quite right, it was through mountains. It was absolutely beautiful and I am glad I ran. The hills were absolutely insane though. I did ok considering I did walk a few times when I wasn't running any fast than I could walk so I conserved some energy and walked up a couple of the hills. All in all the course was amazing and some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. I am quite glad I ran. | | Add Comment |

I am in Oregon and it is cold and rainy, but I ran and it felt good. Being on vacation I have eaten way to much food and my sister keeps telling me that calories don't count on vacation. Not believeing her, but nonetheless I have been eating like it. I can't wait to get home and eat better and less and run more. I will run again in the next few days. | | Add Comment |
| | I ran after work today. I felt a bit sluggish from the days I have taken off and all of the food I ate on vacation didn't help. All in all it was a good run and hopefully next time I will feel a little better. | | Comments(1) |

I finally ran pushing my daughter in the jogging stroller. Hated it, but now I have no more excuses for not running. I think I will get used to it though.
I set out to do at least 4 but my garmin kept shutting off on me and I just replaced the batteries, so I went on a route that I have done numerous times and I know it is 3 miles. I am going to run it again tonight and maybe later this week attempt pushing her for 5 miles. She is 3 and about 30 lbs so I should probably appreciate the added resistence or something. I will get used to it and it will get easier, I am just glad to run. | | Add Comment |

Again I ran after work pushing the daughter in the jogging stroller. It wasn't as hard as yesterday thank goodness which will help my motivation to keep doing it. I think maybe tomorrow I will try pushing her for 5. We will see.
Anyway, it was a short but good run. I hate only doing 3 thats just enough time to get warmed up and starting to feel good. Oh well, at least I can do that and it is definately better than nothing. | | Add Comment |

Same as the last couple of days, ran my usual loop while pushing my daughter in the jogging stroller. It has gotten easier than the first day which is good. I was starving when I got off work so I just ran the 3 and ate 5dinner. I will do more later in the week.

| | Today I got to run without pushing my daughter and it was the farthest I have ran in weeks. I felt really good and can't wait to do it again. I didn't wear my garmin so I have no idea what my pace was or anything. Hopefully I will get it working. | | Add Comment |
| | I felt great today!!! It was a bit windy and it still amazes me how you can have a head wind every direction you turn. I felt really good and even though I didn't have my garmin, I feel like I am speeding up a bit. I feel like I will be ready for the Hurricane half and hoping to sign up for the st gerorge marathon soon. | | Comments(2) |
