Week 9: Day 3 - 2012

cardio:

• bike ride (@ 9:30am) = 3 miles
• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

I don't feel sore anymore now, but I woke up sore. I think it was from yesterday's run, although I'm not so sure because I should be used to running on challenging hills. I can't think of what else could have made me sore.

Week 9: Day 2 - 2012

cardio:

• hilly trail run (@ 6:20am) = 1.11 miles, time = 14:12, pace @ 12:48
• warm up = 1.1 mile
• cool down = 1.1 mile

It was so cold this morning, just the way I liked it...why can't it be like this every morning that I run??? I was going to run on another hill route, but since it rained pretty good yesterday, I was afraid that part of the trail in that hill route would be muddy and I don't like running in mud. I could have ran that hill route later this week though, but I decided that I'd do that run next week instead.

Week 9: Day 1 - 2012

cardio:

• karate (@ 7pm) = 1 hour

I survived and didn't get sick from walking my dog in the rain today. I'm happy about that. It feels cold out now...will it be as cold as I like tomorrow morning for my run? I hope it will be.

Week 8: Day 7 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6:15am) = 5.59 miles, time = 59:56, pace @ 10:43

Total Weekly Mileage: 10.69
Total Monthly Mileage: 55.37
Total Yearly Mileage: 142.95
Total Shoe Mileage: 263.20

I was going to run a bit longer, but I was short on time. I think it drizzle a little bit this morning and it would have been nice if it did drizzle more. 40-something degrees weather used to be so cold to me. It doesn't anymore and I think I probably have a high tolerance to the "extreme" cold now that I prefer that it's below 40 degrees.

Week 8: Day 6

cardio:

• karate = 2 hours
• first (beginner) class = 12pm to 1pm
• second (intermediate) class = 1pm to 2pm

I didn't run yesterday. It was foggy although I would have been ok had I ran in the fog. But it's probably ok to take a break if I felt sorta unmotivated on my last run. Maybe tomorrow, I'll feel better with running.

Week 8: Day 4 - 2012

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6:15am) = 5.10 miles, time = 55:46, pace @ 10:56

I think I need to change my running routes again. I'm starting to feel like those weeks last month where I'm bored and unmotivated in the first two miles of the run before I can feel normal about running again.

Week 8: Day 3 - 2012

cardio:

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

Didn't work out yesterday. Just wasn't feeling it, but hopefully, I'll feel better about running tomorrow!
