Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentSo this was a very good run. I had some soreness in my legs at the beginning but by about 10 minutes in I felt great. I finished the whole run and feel fantastic!

OHR W3D1 June 26, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentOk this was a bit tough. Maybe I should have taken today as a rest day since I did that longer run on Saturday. I had to stop 2x during the run to stretch my calf muscles due to cramps. I did find some podcasts online that are designed to help a runner keep there pace better. I tried it out tonight and I will say it did seem to help. when I look at the data from my Garmin there are no major spikes like I normally see during my run.

Photo Album June 25, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Site Updates , add a commentok so my original photo album page bit the dust. There was a code conflict that happened when I upgraded my wordpress software. I decided to use different photo album software that is stand alone from wordpress. There are now two links on the left side of the page for photos. One links to the www.dankinia.com/photos and you have to register to view it. The other links to my flickr.com album which anyone can view. I am going to gradually move pictures from flickr over to here, but not all of them. Just the best of the bunch. After all how many picutres of the same fish from the shark reef do I really need to display online? lol according to my nephew “all of them”
OHR W2D3 Modified June 24, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentWell I did it. I was only supposed to run 30 minutes but, I decided to run 3.1 miles or a 5k. It was on my TM but it was still further then I have ever ran before. I will be honest when I say I did not run the whole thing. I ran 2 miles, walked 0.50, and then ran the last 0.60 I did increase my pace during part of the last segment too. I thought I was going to either throw up or pass out toward the end, but I did it. My PR for a 5k has now been set at 52.06 minutes. Really slow I know, but it is under an hour!
3.10 mile run in 52:06
Avg pace - 16:48
Bst pace - 11:42
OHR W2D2 June 22, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentWell this was tough at the start, then felt easy, then felt tough again. My legs felt fine, but I think I was overheated because I felt like I was going to throw up. I finished though.

W2 D1 OHR June 19, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentThe first 10 minutes or so were “The Suck” to quote the 30’s. But after I got more comfortable in my stride it went really well. I know I could have kept going but I am sticking to the 30 minutes in the plan for D1 and D2. Day 3 is the day I am going to run for distance instead of time.

OHR Day W1D3ish June 16, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , add a commentSo I decided to run 2 miles instead of 30 minutes. It was overall a really good run. I did not count the warm up or cool down in the time or pace. I considered doing a 5k on my treadmill, but decided against pushing myself that much. I think that might be my next Saturdays run though since this one felt so good.

Running outside June 16, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , 2commentsSo I run indoors on a treadmill and do my walks outside. Last night I decided to run outside. Well my pace was horribly off. I was going too fast and of course burnt out by the half mile mark so I ended up walking back. I need to work on pacing myself with out the treadmill to help me. But it is not really ideal to run outside at 230 am on dark lonely streets. I am going to pick up a holster for running that will work better then the one I have. Then maybe I can run outside without feeling so nervous since I will be armed.
Photo Album June 12, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Site Updates , add a commentWell I just discovered my photo page on this site is all messed up. I will try to get it fixed this week. If I can’t I will just add a totally stand-alone album and forget about the wordpress/flickr link up.
Another Good Run June 12, 2007
Posted by Staci in : Running , 3commentsOk I started the One Hour Runner or OHR program today. I basically repeat week 9 of the previous program for the first 3 weeks to build a solid base. I decided I am no longer going to count the time or distance of my warm ups or cool downs in my running log.
This run felt really good. No major struggle at all and I kept up a good (for me) pace the whole time.
