I Run Like A Girl

Ran 10 with Cheri after work. Took first seven very easy and then realized what time it was when we stopped for a bathroom break at the market and  we both needed to get back for dinner plans and so we booked it the last 3 miles home, no watch, so no time but it felt very speedy!

Happy New Year!

Very slow run today...felt like I was running in place the whole time. We went a new route and didn't know how far it was and it ended being farther than what we thought and so got in a few extra today.  Excited for the new year! I have lots of goals set that I want to accomplish this year and not just with running. Good luck to everybody and their New Years Resolutions too!

Finally I have a second to sit down and type my run for the day. I didnt have time to type it this morning and usually I have a second at work to but I did not have one spare minute. I also started seeing patients during my lunch hour so I can have Fridays off now, which I am so excited about (even though fridays have been just a half day.)

Had a good run this morning, nothing exciting happened  and no watch. Then went to the gym after work to get a little weight training in.

Well today truly might end up being a no mile day but we will see. I  am doing a seven day full body internal cleanse/detox from ReNew Life (not a fasting cleanse). I know some people might think this weird but I think its important to your body. Anways Im on day 6 today and woke up feeling pretty fatigued (they say its normal to have a day or two that you are a little drained) So I decided to take the morning off and if I am feeling more energized by the end of the day then I may go out and do a short run. I think it will be better for me to rest and feel good tomorrow then wear myself out and feel low tomorrow too.

My friend cancelled whom I was going to meet at a quarter to five so I slept in and didnt head out til about 8:30. Weather was sooo nice..I had to go back inside and take of a few layers before heading out 40 when I left and 44 when I got home. Felt much better today, stilla little fatigued but nothing like  I was yesterday. I am glad I let my body rest.

Avg pace 7:39

Ok so we are totally getting spoiled with the weather down here right now (over 50F when I left) and I am getting spoiled with being able to sleep in and not head out til later. Left again around 8:30. So nice cuz in the summer months sleeping in is not even a option and I would die of heat exhaustion if I attempted to start a run at 8:30 in the summer.

Well today I felt the best I have in a couple of weeks, thank goodness. Did 8 20 sec strides today. whoohooo! I finally through them into my run. Kinda sad it has taken me this long to actually do them since Sasha suggested them clear back in mid november. Had some good paced miles today too, had a 7:03,6:58,7:15, 7:14, and 6:57.

Avg pace was 7:30,  1:30 (realized when I was in the shower that I typed in yesterdays time for todays run so it wasnt 1:16)

Also did Abs, free weight, squats, lunges, dips, and pushups as well.

Have a great weekend, my husband is going with his buddies today so I am going SHOPPING!!!!!
