Run #120 Still at it.

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

More intervals today, a fast block alternating with a slow block. Chalked up another half hour. Not a bad run. That's all to report.

  

Run #119 More intervals

Monday, July 09, 2012

Today was back to work after a lovely week off. It is so easy to get used to not working! I did intervals again this morning, mostly running at different paces, but I did tuck in a walk interval when I felt I was panting too much. It was a pretty good run.

Run #118 A new record

Friday, July 06, 2012

Today I went 3.5 miles, my longest run yet, in 35:49, which means approximately 10.14 minutes. This includes my 5 minute warm up walk, and a couple minute walk in the middle. This seems fast, but that is how the numbers come out. Anyway, I had a good run and a good finish!

Run #117 Anniversary run

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

This week marks the one year anniversary of my starting to run! In honor of that today I ran 5k. It was a pretty good run. Because I have the week off I slept in, and didn't leave until about 9:00 am. Boy the temperature difference between 6 and 9 am is pretty significant! Fortunately there was a pretty nice breeze, but even that felt hot at times. I refilled my water bottle twice on my run, which I never do. Amazing to think that a year ago a two minute interval was really tough. Now I can actually run 5K (well, given sufficient motivation, which sometimes lacks...). How cool is that!

  

Run 116 Intervals

Saturday, June 30, 2012

I ran more intervals on Wednesday. Faster for 1 minute, slower for 2, etc. It does add some challenge and interest and keeps me a little more focused I think.

Friday I slept through my run....guess I needed it.
This upcoming week is the one year anniversary of my running journey.
