Week 34: Day 2 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6am) = 3.19 miles, time @ 35:16, pace @ 11:03

Oh, I meant to update last night after going to karate training, but I forgot.

I didn't feel like running a longer distance this morning, but it was better than nothing. It's just still too uncomfortable (weather-wise) for me, even at 6am.

Week 33: Day 7 - 2012

Total Weekly Mileage: 4.45
Total Monthly Mileage: 58.16
Total Yearly Mileage: 408.92
Total Shoe Mileage: 66.85

I was too tired to run this morning, but I'm updating this so I can keep track of the total mileage. I get to go to karate training tomorrow evening since I'm working during the daytime instead of in the evening.

Week 33: Day 6 - 2012

cardio:

• karate = 2 hours
• first class = 12pm to 1pm
• second class = 1pm to 2pm

I didn't go to karate training on Wednesday evening because I had a photography related thing to take care of. I didn't run on Thursday morning because I was donating blood that same morning. I got lazy and didn't feel like running yesterday morning. Is summer over yet?

Week 33: Day 2 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 5:45am) = 4.45 miles, time = 48:54, pace @ 10:59

I didn't sleep that much better last night than Saturday night and this morning temperature/weather wasn't any different than Sunday morning, but I felt better running this morning than Sunday morning. Why can't I feel like this everytime I go out for a run??!!

Week 32: Day 7 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 5:45am) = 3.19 miles; time = 37:22, pace @ 11:43 min per mile

Total Weekly Mileage: 17.69
Total Monthly Mileage: 53.71
Total Yearly Mileage: 404.47
Total Shoe Mileage: 62.40

I decided to go run this morning. I gave myself permission that I could go back to sleep if I just ran three miles because I didn't have to go to work in the middle of the day (usually starting at 12pm) even though I was running on two hours of sleep. I'm still mentally tired, but I don't feel sleepy anymore that I can go back to sleep. I thought about running a little longer, but I wasn't mentally into it. My running pace was so much slower this morning mainly due to not being mentally/fully awake (running on two hours of sleep) and this morning felt so uncomfortably warm. I'm not sure if this will happen, but I'm going to make sure that I go back to sleep so I can be ready for work tonight.

Week 32: Day 6 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 1pm) = 1 hour

Tomorrow, I don't have to work in the afternoon, so I'm going to make sure that I get into the swimming pool. I'm not sure if I will run in the morning. If I do, I can go back to sleep afterwards. During the last few Sundays, I didn't run in the mornings because I came home pretty late from work on Saturday night and then back to work at 12pm on Sunday.

Week 32: Day 5 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 5:45am) = 5.8 miles; time = 1:05:35; pace @ 11:18

I finally had a warm morning that made me feel uncomfortable (but not grumpy) this summer to the point that I almost didn't want to run at all or want to cut it short. But it wasn't so bad that it made me cut the run shorter than I planned. I did stop once or twice in the beginning of the run (not including the stop lights), but managed to keep going after that. I thought about cutting it short, but decided that if I truly didn't want to run longer, then it wasn't meant to be.
