15 minutes outdoors of running

It was up to 65 degrees today. I ran outside at the park for the first time in months and discovered it was a lot harder. Inclines and tendency to run faster I think. I shouldn't have given up so soon. :(

Week 8 day 1 28 minute run

At the parents' house on the mill. Christmas day.

Week 7 day 3

Finished week 7 today! I ran 2.1 miles in 25 minutes, so about a 12 minute mile. Slow, but faster than last run. This time I listened to Will and his son's top indie rock albums of the year on www.willandiris.org . I highly recommend this podcast about parenting, politics, atheism and indie rock.

Week 7 day 2 -25 minute run

I came very close to skipping this work out but I didn't. Did it on the mill while watching The Office at my parents' house. I ran only 4mph most of the time, but hey, speed will come.

Week 7 day 1 25 minute run.

I haven't been updating! Nevertheless, I did two 25 minute runs this week, putting me smack in the middle of week 7 of my 9 week program!

I used my lap counter, although maybe not accurately, and I think I am running 13 minute miles, which is slow, but right now I'm trying to be able to build on time. I'll add speed later.

Week 6 day 3- 25 minute run.

I finally did it! Hooray!!
I went and bought myself a watch with a lap counter.

C25K Week 5 day 2 two 8 min runs

Piece of cake!

C25K Week 4 day 7

It was incredibly easy this time, the last run went by like nothing and i was so not tired that I sped up for the last minute and was still ok. I'm ready for week 5 now!!

C25K Week 4 day 6

Weights Day 3 a&b

I think this is accurate, but I can't remember for sure

c25k Week 4 day 5

I think this is the day I went to the gym. I did the whole thing again

C25K Week 4 day 4 I did the whole thing again!

This is the first time I used my own music. My own music made me run faster which also made the runs harder. But I was mentally better off.

C25K Week 4 day 3

Walked a little extra before doing the last 5 min run. Week 4 is still kicking my butt a little so I will give it 1-3 more goes before moving on to the 5 and 8 minute runs. Still feels good running in the chilly air!

Weights day 2 plus extra lower body

abs

C25K week 4 day 2 I did it this time!

It wasn't so much that I was winded but that for the first time my legs were tired.

Hiked at least 3 mies

C25K Week 4 day 1 (almost)

3 minutes run, 1.5 min walk, 5 min run, 2.5 min walk x 2. However, I walked part of the 5 minute run bc I started feeling an altered state of consciousness in a bad way. (had it been in a good way I'd have started running faster!)

C25K Week 3 day 3

Hooray! Thinking about doing Week 3 a bit longer because by the end I run pretty slowly.

Weights day 1

C25K Week 3 day 2

My mp3 player fell off toward the end of the first 90 second run so I guess I missed part of it.

Knees hardly hurt before or after; I could run a lot faster. Nice weather today. Iced when I got home.

Weights day 3 part d plus leg strengthening for running

Week 3 day 1 c25k

(90 sec. run, 90 sec. walk, 3 min. run, 3 min. walk)x2
Right knee still hurts enough to slow me down a bit, but I iced it when I got home and that seemed to help a lot.
