Week 45: Day 4

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6am) = 3.25 miles, time = 36:14, pace @ 11:04

I survived the run this morning. I found some sprinklers on and running during my run, but they weren't spraying over the running path and there were bushes/trees in the way so I couldn't run through them. It would have been nice. I think I need to start running earlier, like at 5:30am, even though it doesn't really feel better, but at least, the sun won't be higher than the trees, buildings and hills until after 6:10am. After that time, it's warmer than I'd like because the sun is warming things up more for being up, making me so uncomfortable.

Week 45: Day 3

cardio:

• karate = 2 hours
• first (beginners) class = 7pm to 8pm
• second (intermediate) class = 8pm to 9pm

Today felt warmer, muggier and more humid than yesterday. I'm going to attempt a run in the morning and I hope I do ok with it.

Week 45: Day 2

cardio:

• bike ride to/from pilates = 4.21 miles

strength training:

• pilates (@ 9:30am) = 1 hour

Today feels cooler than yesterday. Has it really gotten less muggy and humid?

Week 45: Day 1

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6am) = 2.77 miles, time = 30:38, pace @11:04

Happy birthday to the USA!

No karate training tonight. Though the gym was opened today, there were no classes there today either because today is a holiday.

This was the first run on a Monday that I did in over four years. I almost wanted to sleep in this morning. I felt tired when I woke up. I told myself that if I, at least, got a short run in this morning, I could go back to sleep and I would feel better. It was also warmer than I liked. Yesterday morning felt cooler than this morning. If I got to run through some sprinklers during my run, that would be the highlight of my run and I would actually look forward to running wherever there were sprinklers on in this warm weather.

Now that I got my run in this morning, I feel better and I don't want to go back to sleep! I also don't feel like going to the gym to finish my work out either.

Week 44: Day 7

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6am) = 3.81 miles, time = 40:26, pace @ 10:37

Total Weekly Mileage: 9.19
Total June Mileage: 19.07
Total July Mileage: 5.38
Total Shoe/Yearly Mileage: 268.34

I shouldn't really care about my pace, especially since I'm not training for a race. After the first mile of the run, I started to enjoy the run. Now only if I can do that everytime I go out for a run.

Week 44: Day 6

cardio:

• karate = 2 hours
• first (beginners) class = 12pm to 1pm
• second (intermediate/advanced) class = 1pm to 2pm

We did have a second class for karate training, however, I did a lot of nothing.

Week 44: Day 5

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6am) = 3.15 miles, time = 34:06, pace @ 10:50

Feeling good for the run, but why am I running slower now? I'm not bored! It was kinda warm this morning, but still...
