W8D2 May 31, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentOk I did W8D2 today. It took a lot of effort for me to even start running today. I kept looking for excuses not to run. But then I went to the 30’s thread and got inspired so off to the treadmill I went. I did the whole 28 minutes with out stopping. while running I was also considering what training program to do after I finish this one next week. I might do a 5k program or the OHR program. I am not sure yet.

Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentThis was a good run. I did the whole 28 minutes with out stopping. The last 5 minutes were tough, and it took a lot of will power to get past that, but I did it.

W7D3 May 26, 2007
Posted by Staci in : General Ramblings , add a commentWell I was going to do a full 5k, but I had some problems. I know on my 25 minute runs was averaging a distance of 1.52 miles so I tried to set up a work out on my Garmin that would include the 25 minute run as well as added distance to work out to 3.1 miles. My planed workout was: .25 warm up, 1.5 run, .60 recovery, .5 run, .25 cool down. That would have been 3.1 exactly. Well I accidentally set the Garmin for .06 on the recovery. So that meant I walked half of the .5 run. I will recreate it after week 9 with different distances for the runs to help me work up to running a full 5k.

Posted by Staci in : Running , 1 comment so farThis went so much better then I expected. I started out at a slower pace the normal and held that pace for the majority of the run. The last two minutes I pushed up to my normal pace. I think if I had stated at the slower pace I could have done 30 minutes.

Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentThis was pretty good. I ran the whole 25 minutes without stopping or walking, but I ran it a bit slower then usual. It took me a couple of minutes to get my stride at the slower pace, but halfway through I picked up the speed to my normal pace and finished strong!!!

W6D3 May 19, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentSo I did W6D3 today. It was susposed to be a 25 minute non-stop run. Well I did not stop, but I did have to slow to a walk for about a minute and a half. I am a bit disappointed about that, but I have hopes for next week to be better.
2.03 miles in 35:00 minutes. Not bad.

Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentThe first 10 minutes was not bad at all. I felt like I could have kept running. The second 10 took a bit of work. I had about 3 minutes left and had to really struggle to finish. I ended up slowing my pace a bit so that I could make it through.

A rant! May 16, 2007
Posted by Staci in : General Ramblings, Work Stuff , add a commentSo I went from part time 36 hours a week back to full time 40 hours a week for the new position I am in. Now my understanding is that I would now be getting a larger pay check since I am an hourly employee and I worked more hours. Well they messed up. I got the same amout of money for 72 hours over a 2 week period ad I did for 80 hours over a 2 week period. Payroll says it is the fault of my leader, my leader says it is the fault of payroll. Do you get where I am going with this? No one will just take ownership and just fix the problem.
Also my id’s for accessing they system are all messed up. I have half the tools that I need to do my job.
while in training we are not susposed to use our lotus notes. No emailing allowed. But last night my leader comes in to the training center and says that he needs me to email him screen shots of the system errors I am getting with my ids. So I log in to my email and do what he asks. My instructur heard him tell me to do this, yet gets annoyed that I am emailing instead of sitting and doing nothing. I can’t really work due to the id issues. The today I get a voice mail from payroll telling me that the need me to email them some info on the mistake. So I tell my instructor this and log in to my email. Payroll and I send a few things back and forth until they pass the buck to my leader. So I forward their info to him. My instructur sees me sending emails and in front of my peers talks to me like I am a child. “I told you before no emailing allowed!!” Her opinion is I should wait 2 more weeks until I am out of the training class before I address any of these problems. How does that make any sense? I can’t get out of the training class until my id’s work, and the longer I wait to get the payroll stuff figured out, the worse it is going to get. *sigh* some days I really don’t understand why logical thought escapes normal people like my instructor.

Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentI am so thrilled. I struggled a little bit, but I ran all the running parts. The first 5 minute run felt easy. I could have kept running. The 8 minute run was a bit of a struggle for the last minute or so, but I told myself that I had managed 20 min on Friday, so I could manage to finish the 8. The last 5 were somewhere between the ease of the first, and the struggle of the second. I did manage to ramp up the speed for the last 45 sec of the last run segment.

Post update May 11, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running, Site Updates , add a commentHey everyone. Just a really quick update. Nothing major. I am going to start changing the format of my running posts. I will keep my thoughts and notes at the top, but there will be a link in the post to take you to my distance, times, and splits. I figured I would reduce the clutter on the page a bit. If you are interested in seeing the stats, just click the word “more” in the post.
