I got a tiny run in last night.  I think Im in trouble for Leahs race in July.  I havent had any time to run. none!  Getting up earlier isnt an option and by the time bed comes around theres bears and wolves outside so I cant run out there after my kiddos go to bed.  Ack!  Guess come July 16 I'll have to wing the race and just push it to the finish line.

Went down to canal park today for my five mile run.  It was grandmas marathon....uuuggg! Turned around and came home.  Went five miles all together here.  It was SO HUMID!   Had to stop running after two miles and do interval training.  People must have passed me on the road and thought I was crazy running as fast as I could.   Running in the humidity drains every ounce of energy.  Blaak.  
At least I went and feel good.  Off to the party!

Went for a treadmill run tonight after a long day.  Went 4.7 miles, only ran 3.8 of them.  Did sprints and hills.  HATE hills.  but all in all I felt great.  After I stopped, I had so much more in me, I could have easily pushed myself another mile or two but didnt feel like it.  So now showered, I'm going to go drink my protein shake (mmmm)  and read for awhile.  Im drinking a lot of protein shakes because I started losin weight again.  That really is frustrating because I'm making such an ef...

4.5 miles 06/13/2011

I love running.  Went on the treadmill tonight.  Hate treadmills.  But to spice it up I ran sprints for two minutes - ran light for two minutes. Alternating. Went 4.5 miles and actually felt great again after wards.  Mid way through I got a bit bored so I ran up hill for a few.  That got my blood running!   So- a good night all in all.  Plus, before I started I was having a hard Leah night.  Made myself go for the run and pushed all that crap out of me.  Now I feel refreshed.  Showered and sm...

Went for a run last night.  I decided to head out with no plans and no time limits to burn.  I just went and relaxed.  And in doing that, I was able to run five miles.  I had to stop twice to walk at the bottom of two gargantuan hills.  But mid-way up I started running again.  It felt great to be at it. I have no idea what my time was but I dont care.  I concentrated on my form.  I think thats why my legs have been off.  Im not running right.  I also think last week I pushed myself way to har...

why? Why? GGRR? Frustration???

June 10, 2011
Ive been running for awhile.  Not as far as a lot of people and I always preferred nice easy going miles to fast paced craziness.  Last year at my sister Leahs race, I had been running five miles in 45 minutes.  And on race day I did it in 46 minutes. I was so annoyed about it.  I have never been competitive but it ate at me.  I also had a friend run it with me and he ran it in 37 minutes.  That- has also eaten at me.  I keep thinking that If i had just pushed myself a little more I could hav...

This page is just to keep me motivated.  You guys dont have to read it.  In fact I can guarantee it will be pretty boring. I'm just in a running slump right now and need to track my progress to get motivated again.  Im stuck at three miles.  IF I can find the time I'd like to run a 15K by the end of the summer.  So....here I go.
