Run 42 Almost forgotten

Tuesday, November 01, 2011

I forgot to blog yesterday's run. Yesterday I ran with music for the first time. Instead of "I think I can" it was "I can run to the end of this song." I did manage to enjoy some of the music though, and I think it did help, especially at the end. I ran for 12 minutes, and then 10 minutes for a total of 22 minutes run time. I might try for 13 minutes tomorrow. Not sure yet.

  


Run 41 I think I can I think I can

Friday, October 28, 2011

Today I did a 12 minute and an 8 minute interval. The 12 went pretty well. The last few minutes of the 8 I was the little engine that could. But I did! Total 20 minutes run time, 13 minutes walking. My calves have been really tight since Wednesday's run and that mad today harder too. But now either I finally stretched them out, or the ibuprofen has kicked in and relaxed them. Whew, that feels better. I am now starving. Going to make some split pea soup (at 9L30 am!). Got to find my headphones this weekend so I can have some music to help me through the tough parts.

  


Run #40 Wow

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Wow, I've done 40 runs now!
Today I ran a 12 minute interval, which was a bit hard but I pushed through. Then did an 8 minute interval, also a bit challenging, but I feel good about it.

Total run time 20 minutes, walk time 11 minutes.

  


Run #39 12 minute interval

Monday, October 24, 2011

Today I just really needed to prove to myself I could push past that 10 minute interval wall I seemed to be stuck at, so I decided I was doing 11 minutes, then at 11 I decided I could do 12. I did a 12 minute interval, a 5 minute, and a 3 minute, total 20 minutes running, 11 minutes walking. I think also I discovered today that I have been picking up my pace gradually wihthout realizing it. I slowed it down a little and that felt better too.

  


Run #38 Which muscle needs stretching/released?

Friday, October 21, 2011

Today I did a 10 minute interval, a 6 minute interval, and a 4 minute interval. 20 minutes of running and 11 minutes of walking. My calf muscles seem to get really tight sometimes and I think that is limiting me somewhat. I need to figure out some more stretches, but I have to figure out which muscle is the problem. It isn't exactly my calf, it is lower down at the base or the calf, above the ankle, and it feels sort of like the inside of my leg. If anyone can tell me what muscle that might be that would be fantastic!
