Week 19: Day 3 - 2015

• easy RUN with one dog = 2.12 miles
• easy WALK with two dogs = 2.1 miles

I now have a bad case of no motivation. I'm very sure that it's not laziness. I thought I was fine because I did take a four day break from running (due to some work drama) over the weekend. I originally wanted to do a four mile run this morning, but changed my mind and did a two mile run instead. Now that my dog can run three or more miles, doing anything shorter than three miles is only when I'm very unmotivated. I also did an easy run. I rarely ever walk during an easy run unless I'm injured or unmotivated. My legs felt heavy and I also felt like I was dragging my feet along. I'll take a break from running for the next few days and I'll try again on Sunday morning.

Week 19: Day 2 - 2015

• easy RUN with one dog = 3.1 miles
• easy WALK with two dogs = 2.37 miles

 Because of some work drama, I didn't do a run over the weekend....

Anyway, I didn't feel like running today, but I went anyway.

Week 18: Day 3 - 2015

• easy trail RUN with one dog = 4.1 miles, time = 48:22, pace @ 11:48
• easy WALK with two dogs = 2.1 miles

I've signed up to do a 10k run for Race For The Rescues on Saturday, October 24, 2015 in Pasadena, CA and this event will support local non-profit animal welfare organizations that annually save the lives of thousands of dogs, cats and horses. I've created a charity page. If you are in a generous mood, please visit my charity page to make a donation. Any amount, big or small, is greatly appreciated!

In other news, this is unofficial because the website is not updated yet. I will probably do the Halloween 10k run in La Puente, CA on Sunday, October 25, 2015. I think I will do ok on both races because they are only a 10k and there is no extra training time since they are on the same weekend!

Week 18: Day 2 - 2015

• easy trail RUN with one dog = 4.47 miles, time = 53:19, pace @ 11:56
• easy WALK with two dogs = 2.3 miles

I almost didn't want to go for a run because I wanted to sleep in instead. I'm glad that I did the run anyway and felt better afterwards.

I had wanted to run four days a week. I have to remind myself to take advantage of the weather because it has been unusually cooler in the mornings and it makes for great running weather. Summer is around the corner. I know that I will complain everyday about the heat and how uncomfortable I am in it. I vaguely remember that the weather was the same for May last year. I don't really remember if our June was on the cooler side.

Week 17: Day 4 - 2015

• easy trail/road RUN with one dog = 3.24 miles, 39:10, pace @ 12:05
• easy WALK with three dogs = 2 miles

I went running this morning and it was just gloomy and overcast. It started raining right after I got to work. I was glad that the rain waited for me to get to work first. I had wanted it to rain at work at not during my run!

Week 17: Day 2 - 2015

• easy RUN with one dog = 3.75 miles, time = 44:02, pace @ 11:45
• easy WALK with three dogs = 2.4 miles

After last Tuesday, I got lazy and didn't run. Thanks to the weather, even though it was nice weather to run in. The weather also made me lazy and want to sleep more.
