Week 13: Day 7 - 2014

• easy RUN/WALK with one dog = 1.2 miles
• easy WALK with dogs = 1 mile

RUNNING Total Mileages
Total Weekly Mileage: 5.86
Total Monthly Mileage: 15.18
Total Yearly Mileage: 121.78
Total Shoe Mileage: 18.73


I think it's time to run three or so miles at least once a week. I'm always grumpy at work and I'm somewhat bored of running really short distances. I also think that it's time to get my dog, Jubee, to run longer than four minutes at a time, so I can eventually run with her for one or so mile non-stop without any rest/walk breaks.

Week 13: Day 5 - 2014

• easy walk/run with one dog = 1.2 miles
• easy walk with dogs = 1.7 miles

I finally decided to sign up and run the Huntington Beach Surf City Half Marathon. I have ten months to train for it...not that I need all of those months. I can't create a new account/fundraising page on "Run For Mobility" charity website yet. Maybe it's too early for that, but I'd really like to start raising money now!

Week 13: Day 4 - 2014

• easy walk with dogs = 1.5 miles
• karate = 1 hour

Supposedly, it's going to rain tomorrow. I hope it doesn't rain in the morning and if it does, I hope it's very lightly. I want to go running in the morning.

Week 13: Day 3 - 2014

* easy road run (solo) = 2.26 miles
* easy walk with dogs = 1 mile

I'm still debating if I want to run the Huntington Beach Surf City Half Marathon, however, I'm leaning towards yes. I have only done this race once and it was in 2008. I want to run it again. Most of the races that I have done in the past, I have done them at least twice (some more than others). Also, I can't seem to open a new account with the charity, but it may because I have not signed up for the race yet.

Week 13: Day 2 - 2014

• easy WALK/RUN with one dog = 1.2 miles
• easy WALK with dogs = 1.4 miles

Oops, I meant to update on Sunday, but I forgot.

Debating if I want to sign up for the Huntington Beach Surf City half marathon, but the race is so expensive. It's $89 before the processing fee. Even though I can raise money for a charity associated with the race (I have to raise $600 to ...get my race fees reimbursed), there is only one charity to raise money for. The Long Beach race was $80 before processing fee and I get to pick from the list of charities I want to raise money for (and the one I usually pick and raise money for, I only had to raise $300 to get reimbursed). It took me so much effort just to raise $300! I also got a free admission ticket to the Pacific of the Aquarium for running all over Long Beach.

 

At least, I have eleven months to raise $600 if I sign up and start now.

Week 12: Day 5 - 2014

• easy road run (solo) = 2.12 miles
• easy walk with dogs = 1.5 miles

 

I think I'm going to start running alone again at least once a week. I still plan to run/walk with my dog three times a week. I'm not quite sure how far my dog can run non-stop, but I'm afraid of overworking her. I'm a little bored running if it's going to include any walk breaks.

Week 12: Day 4 - 2014

• easy walk with dogs = 1 mile
• karate = 1 hour
• "warm up" (walk to class) = 1 mile
• "cool down" (walk after class) = 1 mile

Today was the first time that I went to karate class/practice since last September. I haven't gone in a long time because I'm at the point that I just don't care anymore, even though I have been thinking of going again once in awhile. It's weird...I can run for two hours and I feel fine, but I get tired after ten minutes of karate.
