Oops...

Hey, again I am still here, and yes I am still running. I have been very busy with school and tests and homework and most importantly my family...so I haven't had a ton of time to post. I am going to try to do better. I think I will post Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I guess we will see on Saturday if I post.

February 11, 2014

So, I ran outside today, and it was spectacular ("they're real...and they're spectacular" Seinfeld anyone?). Anyway, I woke up this morning and it was 0°C outside, so I decided to run outside. It was a really nice morning, there was a bit of a breeze and there was some ice on the road, but mostly it was just a beautiful morning. I ran 3 miles in 31:32, which isn't bad, considering it was my first run outside. Um...I don't really have much else to say (I am watching the Olympics right now and keep getting distracted), so I will stop now, but I will start getting back to more regular posts.

First Week Back

It feels so good to run again. This was my first whole week back running and it felt great (except for my really sore legs...those didn't feel great). I ran 3 miles on Tuesday, 2 on Thursday (I was supposed to run 3, but I was really sore from Tuesday, so I opted for 2 instead) and 4 today. Tuesday and Thursday were pretty rough. I could tell that I hadn't run in a LONG time (not that 5 weeks is that long, but when you are running 3 times a week and then take 5 weeks off...you can tell the difference). Anyway, I am back to it and feeling great. And since I am running and training regularly, I will start to blog about it more regularly. But for now...I don't have anything else to say.

3 miles...inside

I ran today! It felt really good to run (even if if was inside). I'm pretty sure that I have said in previous posts that I try to run outside, but it snowed yesterday and was really windy, so there was quite a bit of snow on the ground and it was still pretty windy, plus it was -12 Celcius outside (not including wind chill), so I decided to go on campus and run at the indoor track (I have decided that if it is -5 or warmer (and not windy) then I will run outside, but if it's any colder than I will run inside).

Anyway, so I ran 3 miles (which is 5 KM) this morning in 32:24. I had to stop after 2 miles and get a drink of water and rest for about a minute, but then I was good to keep going. It was awesome to run again, but I could tell that I hadn't run in 5 weeks. Even though I have been biking for the last 2 or 3 weeks, I am not in the same running shape that I was before. But I know that things will get better, I am just happy to be running and training again.
