I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

I had planned on 10 miles yesterday and ran out of time (family was in town and I had lots of schoolwork to do). 

So I settled for this run at a moderate pace.  I finished in 63:37.  I do want to check on the actual mileage on this because I mapped it using the computer--I might drive it tomorrow just to check.  The only thing I know for sure is that my first mile was 8:51 and my last mile was 8:05, so I suppose that it's possible that my average pace was 8:36.  Now that I've been running on the treadmill so much, I'm finding it hard to gauge my pace when running outside.

I will check and repost if necessary.

  I was tired on this run.  I went to the gym later than I usually do.  I wasn't into it.

I think the reasons for this were:

everyone in my house is sick

my 2 year old jumped out of his crib in the middle of the night (something he's never done--not the jumping out, but the waking in the middle of the night) and wandered into our room to "take a nap" as he said.  Then when I put him back in his crib, there he was, a few hours later, trying to crawl back into bed with us.  I gave up and had his feet in my back the rest of the night

the cardio room was exceedingly hot, like they still had the heat on or something

the weather is changing back to cold, yucky

Much better run than yesterday, but still treadmill.  It got cold again.

I'm going to have to drive this to see exactly how long it is.  MapMyRun doesn't have street names of one of Rantoul's neighborhoods correct and I don't think even their position is right.  Oh well.

I warmed up 1 mile, did roughly 1 mile fast, but a little too fast, it felt.  I cramped up a bit.  I ran another slow mile, then did another fast mile, but not as fast as the first.  I was still sorta crampy.  Then when I was nearing the time to do another fast mile, I just wasn't feeling it yet.  My stomach was still cramping.  So instead I did the last 2 miles fast.  I know that the last mile was faster than the one before it.  

I forgot to wear my watch, so the only split I have is for my last mile, where I used my ipod (how many songs went by) to time it.  My last mile was 7:47.  I kinda wish I had my watch so I knew even just my average pace. 

I noticed before my run that the right earphone on my headphones was not working.  Then the other side conked out with about 2.5 miles to go.  I left the headphones in because they were saving my inner ear from the wind, but it was annoying. 

On a slightly interesting note, our senior class has a Facebook stalker.  I know that it is one of the kids (and I have a pretty good idea who it is).  I showed the kids how to "defriend" someone and how to change their privacy settings the day one of the kids said this person was sending him weird messages, but I think I created a monster.  Before "she" was creeping out a handful of people (including me and the Spanish teacher).  Since I brought it up in class, she's trying to creep out everyon in the entire class.  And she just sent me a message that contained my address.  I'm impressed that "she" can use a phonebook.  Ah, the joys of teaching.
