Ran 5 miles today! It was cold at first, but ended up being the perfect weather. I have pretty much been awake since 4am - had a horrible night's sleep! Not sure how I'll manage through the day, but the run helped make me feel better at least!
And looky there...I have FINALLY broken 100 miles for the year! It's about freaking time!

My garmin died in the middle of my run today and I forgot to bring my charger to work to charge it and to upload the run information from Friday...sigh. But I did my normal route from last year that I know is 4.7 miles. Hopefully back into the swing of things this week. Eeek!

Today I did a great 3.5 mile run. My ipod has been dead this week and I keep forgetting to charge it so I've been without music for the past three days! I actually don't mind too much because I have a lot to think about anyway during my runs so I don't even realize I don't have music sometimes. Last week I was already 2 miles into my run before I realized that I had my ipod and headphones in but had never turned it on. However, I do need some music soon to help me step up the pace.
Today I ran 3.5 Miles in 33:32. I'd like to really try and get my 5K time to 30 minutes or less so I think that will be a goal of mine over the next few weeks. I kept an average pace of a 9:34 minute/mile. and my average heart rate was 117bpm.
Here are my stats:

Wanna know something interesting? By this date last year I had already run 486 miles total for the year!! I think I was a crazy person...What's interesting to me though...is I'm the same weight whether I run 486 miles or 70. So what this has taught me over the past year that even though working out and being healthy is obviously important...weight really primarily has to do with what and how you eat, and that I don't have to run like a crazy person just to keep my weight down.

Interval Training Day!!
I warmed up for 1/2 mile then did fast 1/4 mile laps. My stats for the run are as follows:
Each lap was a 1/4 mile running as fast as I can-
= Average fast pace of 1 minute and 68 seconds for a 1/4 mile.
Is it any surprise that my fastest time was the first lap and my slowest was the last? And by 18 seconds, which is kind of a lot! I kind of like these interval training days. They're rough, but I like being able to take breaks every two minutes!

I felt so bloated and dehydrated from my dinner last night when I got up today.I thought for sure that it was going to be a rough run but it actually was pretty great, and just what I needed to relieve my stomach ache. I ran for exactly 35 minutes, which came to 3.61 miles. I was keeping a pretty slow pace throughout this...but not too much slower than normal. I averaged a 9:41/mile and my average speech was 6.2mph. Not bad...but I can do better. I also need to wake up earlier!! UGH!

I was supposed to run 6 miles today, but it was raining cats and dogs and I had no access to a treadmill so I did an hour on my parent's elliptical machine. Oh well...maybe I'll get to 6 miles next weekend?

I had an AWFUL run on Friday. I guess I started too late in the morning and the heat got to me, but I had a side sticker for pretty much the last 1 1/2 miles, which SUCKED. I almost just gave up at 2.5 miles but just kept myself going at a slow pace..I was determined to get to 3 miles. I hate when I have days like this...but these days will happen.
