Wednesday

I am here. Just an extremely crazy few days!

I have been walking back and forth to school, and tonight I ran.

Today, is Wednesday, and I walked yesterday and today. Monday was WET! So, I drove.

Today's run:

6.34 km
39:15
480 cals
6:12 avg
5:18 max

So, my walks = 3 km, +1 km today = 4 km + my run today 6.34 = 10.34 kms

#500in2010 = 6.42 miles

Sunday Summary

Oh my goodness. I think this rainy run goes down as the WETTEST run EVER. It was also a most amazing run for me. I felt amazing, unlike the three runs during the week. I also had gels this morning. One pre run, and one about half way through my run.

I think it was the extra food I ate over the weekend. I think I am too hungry most of the time. So, I will see how it goes this week.

Tweak what I am doing.

So, my run:

12.45 km
1:18:37
952 calories burned
Avg 6:19 pace km
Max 4:51 best

There were so many puddles, and the rain was just DOWNPOUR. Crazy wet run. During the run I could ring out my ponytail. When I got back, I could wring out my arms, and my top. And my hair again. Crazy prune feet.

I am thankful to Steve, who gave me his warm jacket, and bought me a latte at Starbucks. That, is the best part of running, enjoying the fun and talk with my running friends. We laugh. A LOT. I am happy to be a part of such a wonderful and supportive group! Love them all.

#500in2010 Sunday run = 7.75 miles

#500in2010 Weekly Total = 22.11 miles

Friday Night Run

Well, that run wasn't that great. The last couple have runs have been a bit of a struggle. I think it is lack of sleep, the busy pace of my life and eating a bit different, and probably not enough of the good stuff.

Anyways, I did it. I do feel more energetic, and happier right now. Lots to accomplish this weekend!

Inspiration

I posted to my murrayvillemom blog a bit about who inspired me, and her name is Sylvie Ruegger. I am totally amazed by her strength of spirit and her commitment to her sport. She was amazing to listen to!

I am going to head out on a run sometime today, to keep my km's up. I am happy it is Friday!

Later!

Run Thursday

Got out for my clinic night, had an awesome yoga instructor come in and give us some wonderful poses/stretches for runners. NICE!

We ran tonight, 6.20 km in 40:09

Going to try to run tomorrow night, and of course on Sunday. Nice long run!

Wednesday Run

OK, I got out for a run today. I am tired today, as I haven't slept a whole lot in the last few nights. Last night I slept about 3 hours I think.

I had to push myself out the door. I had to make the decision to put on my run gear and go. I could have easily stayed home and worked. However, I didn't. I don't want to do that to myself. I deserve the time to run! I deserve a bit of time to work on myself. So, I did it, and after I was done I was happy about it!

I was at a photography conference for three days and I did a lot of walking. No running. So, I will count the trips I made from the parkade, into the hotel, and back out.

I also haven't been on the scale for a long time as my period came and went and I seem to bloat up quite a bit, so I get discouraged. So, tonight I decided to face my truth. And the truth was 173.0 on the nose. So, I guess I am SLOWLY making progress.

Walks from Sunday evening, Monday and Tuesday = 3 km

My walks to and from school today = 2 km

Run tonight on Wednesday evening = 5.48 km

So total km's from Sunday evening until tonight, Wednesday = 10.48 km

#500in2010 = 6.51 miles

I will be running tomorrow night as well. I am excited about tomorrow because I ran today, I want to run tomorrow. I am looking forward to watching the scale dip from the 170's into the 160's again. That will feel amazing! It has been awhile that is for sure!

Sunday - Wet run oh my!

I had a super wet run this morning! Soaked right down to the skin, and my toes look like little prunes!
