run the mile in less than 10 minutes

can’t believe I actually ran this morning, I was soooo tired from the night before, but surprisingly energetic after I woke up.

So, since the rest of the house was asleep – I went for a 30 minute run. No idea how far I did, and it was about 20 degrees with the wind chill, but it was very refreshing.

AND made another youtube video ~ yippee, skippee!

There is a reason I’ve titled it the Good News/Bad News run, which, you’ll have to watch to whole thing to find out.

But, I learned a few things on the run. One is “don’t talk while actually running” and “catch your breath before speaking when on a walking break”...

Plus some other goodies that you’ll see.

Enjoy ;o)

1.81m = 26m = 14.36mm

Not bad considering I haven’t really run that far in 4 weeks and I didn’t even train this weekend.

It was a gorgeous day and I did a lot of praying on the run. Thank you God for the peace that you brought me.

Did the same route as before 1.81m, but this time I did it faster (and without really running lately, must be all the errands…LOL)

1.81m = 25m = 13.8mm

WOW!!!

And found out that I did the 8K in 1.01 hours with a 12:21 pace. So, this is a good median goal to shoot for for the time being. Especially since I haven’t been keeping to my running goals lately.

Will work on this this week :o)

Found a great new route and it was a totally cool extension of my neighborhood that I’d never been filled with awesome bungalows and cute picket fenced yards with gardens. Very lovely. It led me to a great new shortcut to the Y and the grocery store that I didn’t know existed.

Wow, and I just thought I’d be getting only exercise out of the jog today :o)

Went to the local Y and worked out since it was 9pm when I got home, dark and 95 degrees / 95% humidity.

Did 1 mile in 15.43, which really is cheating since I didn’t do 2 miles, but I was really just trying to mix it up, did some heavy incline work, which I really do love.

Moved on the the eliptical (it had a tv, so who could blame me) for the rest of my workout.

Yesterday decided to run in a meadowed trail. Beautiful, shaded and cool. Can’t beat that on a 95 degree day :)

Time got a little better, glad to have some time shaved off there.

Went out for a run yesterday and for the first time since I’ve been back running (which hasn’t been that long) knew the distance and the time. Did 2 miles in 34 minutes. In other words – old ladies would pass me, with walkers and housecoats on.

But you can’t know if your reaching your goal until you measure where you’ve started, so there you have it.

Starting at: 17 minute mile.

Could be worse, could be in a coma and not doing any miles/minute, so there’s my 1/2 full thought of the day, LOL!!!
