Week 32: Day 4 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 5:45am) = 5.4 miles; time = 60:08; pace @ 11:08

While I didn't drown in my own sweat from running and I didn't feel uncomfortable/grumpy, I think the morning temperature affected me to some extend this morning. Is summer over yet? I think the only time that I actually enjoy this ridiculously crazy heat is when I'm in a swimming pool or the ocean water when the cold water feels soooo good.

I'm glad that the humidity and smog level aren't bad in the mornings when I run. But I still can't wait for winter when the morning temperature is ridiculously cold.

Week 32: Day 3 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

I'm going to start making an effort to just sit in my swimming pool when it get ridiculously/crazy hot. Cold pool water feels really good when it is.

Week 32: Day 2 - 2012

cardio:

• hilly trail run (@ 5:45am) = 1.1 miles; time = 14:17; pace @ 12:59

So hot today! Luckily, I didn't feel so uncomfortable with the weather/temperature this morning during my run even though I was drenched in sweat at the end. It'll be hot all week...I hope I don't feel uncomfortable during my next run on Thursday!

Week 32: Day 1 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

So this was the first time in two months or so that I had actually done some sort of exercise on a Monday. I have been lazy and/or busy with work (depending on the time of day). Our karate schedule will be changing starting the first week of next month (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday instead of Monday, Wednesday and Saturday), so I'll be able to attend two or all three classes now after this month. Today will probably be the only Monday this month that I'll go to karate training because of work.

Week 31: Day 6 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 12pm) = 1 hour

Didn't get a work out/run in yesterday. I was so tired. I'm not sure what I was tired from! I did have a second karate class, but I did a lot of nothing in it.

I'm 50/50 about getting a run in tomorrow morning, depending on what time I get off work and how well I sleep tonight.

Week 31: Day 4 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 5:40am) = 5.16 miles, time = 58:26, pace @ 11:19

I didn't feel so unmotivated that I felt grumpy and unhappy to run, but I'm bored and unmotivated enough that I'm running slower than I normally do. And it's only because I'm bored of running. I'm not running enough to be overtrained, so at least I'm good on that part. I want and should be signing up for a race of some kind, but I don't want to at the same time. I want to do a half marathon, but the race fees are so expensive. Maybe I should just sign up for a 10K race and it'll take care of my "fix" for the time being.

Week 31: Day 3 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

The weather/summer is starting to feel cooler during the daytime, which is usual for us at this time of year, but too bad it doesn't feel cooler (or preferably COLD) at the butt crack of dawn like at 6am. I'm actually enjoying the daytime weather though now that it's not crazy hot and so uncomfortable.
