Week 7: Day 4 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6:30am) = 5.27 miles, time = 56:03, pace @ 10:38

I liked how it was so cold this morning and the wind wasn't that bad either! It was sorta distracting and annoying that my breath kept blowing in my face.

Week7: Day 3 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

It'll be super cold in the morning. Great running weather for me! It's suppose to be windy tomorrow also, but hopefully, it won't be that bad when I head out for my run. I'm also glad that I don't have to run in the rain tomorrow or Friday and all that was done today!

Week 7: Day 2 - 2012

cardio:

• hilly trail run (@ 6:20am) = 1.1 miles, time = 13:54, pace @ 12:38
• warm up = 1.1 miles
• cool down = 1.1 miles

I decided to do my hill run today instead of later in the week, just because I felt like it. I enjoyed the weather this morning.

Week 7: Day 1 - 2012

cardio:

• bike ride (@ 10:15am) = 3 miles
• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

It was so windy today! Luckily, it wasn't that bad when I was out riding my bike, but it seemed worse afterwards. There is no wind now and I hope it stays that way until after I do my run tomorrow morning. It also feels so cold and nice out now. So COLD and no wind, I think I'm going to enjoy that for my morning run.

Week 6: Day 7 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 1:20pm) = 4.46 miles, time = 45:11, pace @ 10:085

Total Weekly Mileage: 9.31
Total Monthly Mileage: 24.71
Total Yearly Mileage: 112.29
Total Shoe Mileage: 237.44

I almost didn't run at all today. It was somewhat raining this morning when I woke up and I decided that I didn't want to run in the rain because I didn't want to get sick. I didn't want to test my immune system. This was also the first time in a long while since I ran later in the day. I usually have a hard time getting out for a run if it was past a certain time (after 10am) because I usually find some excuse not to run and usually laziness kicks in since I'm always running alone. I feel like I want to reward myself with an In-N-Out burger or somethng!

I'm also noticing that I'm running faster. I don't feel like I am, so I have hard time believing that I am. I stopped taking Vitamin B complex last weekend. That used to work in the beginning when I started taking them and I felt faster, but perhaps it lost its effectiveness and I probably need to take a break from them because I've been taking them for so long. Fine, if that's all it takes for me to run faster!

Week 6: Day 6 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 12pm) = 2 hours

I hope I sleep ok tonight. I didn't sleep well enough on Thursday night and couldn't get myself out for a run yesterday morning.

Week 6: Day 4 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6:20am) = 4.85 miles, time = 49:33, pace @ 10:13

I only missed one run this week. I decided that I'd miss out on my hill run which was short to begin with, so it wouldn't affect my endurance. I didn't feel like I had a runner's high, but I felt unusually happy during my run this morning. Maybe that helped with my speed, though I didn't feel like I ran faster than I actually did. I like happy runs.
