Well I got a tv for the exercise room yesterday and I will say it helped with tonights run. I was able to take the focus off the fact I was running in place and put it on the tv.

Overall this was a really good run. Only 2 miles but I am happy with it. My legs are a bit sore, but nothing some stretching won’t take care of.

2 miles in 32:30 minutes
Avg pace - 16:15

Mile 1 pace 16:31

Mile 2 pace 15:58

Ok half my family is not speaking to me, my home internet connection is down again, when my internet is up KR where I talk with my running group is down, my run tonight was horrible, and I just feel very worthless, un-happy and hopeless right now. I know all that will pass, but for the moment it just seems like nothing is going my way. I don’t like it when I get in these moods, and I know I will be fine in a day or two, I just have to wait it out.

This felt really good right up until the very end. I think I could have gone for a longer distance, but holding at 3 miles seemed like a good idea. I have one more week of 3 mile runs and then I will start to add a bit more distance to my Saturday run each week. I am starting to really beleive I can manage that half in May. I might not be able to run the whole thing, but I will be able to run a good portion if I manage to figure out how to pace myself outside. That will be worked on when the weather gets a bit cooler here.

Sept 4th Run September 5, 2007

This was a pretty good run. I was actually going to stop at 2.5 miles so I hit the lap button at that time. Then I decided I still felt pretty good so I finished the full 3. I am seeing improvement in almost every run I do. That makes me happy. My speed is still a snails pace, but that is alright with me.

A plan August 31, 2007

Posted by Staci in : Running , add a comment   

Ok I think I have a plan to help with my running. I have a modified version of the OHR plan that is built on distance instead of time. It starts out with 3 mile runs which is a distance I know I can do. I am going to use that for the next 8 weeks to help build up to a 6 mile long run. After that I will find another plan or create another plan to work up to even more distance. I plan on doing it slow and steady to prevent injury.

I can’t wait until it is cooler outside and I can take my long runs outside to work on my pace. The treadmill is boring and I know I will never manage to run Eugene with confidence if I can’t pace myself outside at least somewhat.

I did not log Tuesday’s run on Tuesday night so this post is for 2 runs.

Aug 28th Run

1.76 miles in 30:48 minutes.
Avg pace - 17:32

This one was not so good. My legs ached so bad during this one I cut it short.

Aug 30st run

2.51 miles in 43:58 minutes
Avg pace - 17:30

This was much better then Tuesday’s run, but still not as good as I wanted. Even though I run inside on a treadmill I was sweeting like 10 whole men. My hair was so wet it looked like I had just gotten out of the shower. I need to get a better fan for in the torture chamber to help circulate the air better. That and a tv for that room are my next semi-running related purchases. If I am going to work on my base and be in there for longer then an hour at a time, I need to improve the environment.

13.1 August 25, 2007

I am seriously considering signing up for a half-marathon that takes place in May. I would have 9 months to get ready. My biggest issue is I can only run 3 miles straight but a half is 13.1 I know I don’t have to run all of that, and I would get to travel to Oregon and meet up with the 30’s from KR in person.

This was a pretty good run. 3 miles. It felt nice and East most of the way, but toward the end my legs started to feel heavy. They still feel a bit sore, but I did a few stretches and will do some more before bed to help with that.

Ok this run was not so great. Mile one felt awesome. Slow but strong. Mile two was teh suck. I think think I started out a bit too fast in mile one and that contributed to mile two being so difficult. I wanted to hit 3 miles again, but that was not possible.
