Workout: 32 minute Run
Distance: 3.09
Good Run !!
My running schedule/program has changed to running so many miles per day rather than minutes, but I don't like that. I like to run around a couple of close neighborhoods in random order depending on my mood...sometimes I stay in our neighborhood, sometimes I go into the neighborhood to the west, sometimes I do both.
According to the program, I was suppose to run 3 miles today...I just guessed. Not too bad of a guess.
I signed up for a 5k on Sept. 18th !!
18 days and counting !!

Michelle's Run 8.30.10
Running Stats:
Time: 40 minutes
Distance: 3.9 miles
Pace: 10:15
This is a very fast pace for a 40 minute run! This was definitely a treadmill run and definitely at close to race pace. I wasn't falling over tired when I was finished, but I had to slow down a couple of times to catch my breath a little. If I could run this pace for the 10k I would finish in about 64 minutes. That is so close to my goal. However, I'm not sure I could keep up that pace running outside and for that long. With the 10k less than a month a way I think it's safe to say that I need to adjust my goal. My new goal is to run it in under 70 minutes. This is still going to be a stretch, but more realistic. Maybe I will try for a under 60 minute 10k in the spring.

Running Stats:
Time: 40 minutes
Distance: 3.68ish (we have tried to figure out the distance of this path we run... we have settled on .82 miles so that's what I'm going to use as my distance approximation)
Pace: 10:52
I ran the first 15 minutes and the last 10 pretty easily... the middle 15 minutes sucked! I was definitely not feeling the hills tonight. I'm going to run tomorrow, hopefully it will be a better run.
4 weeks until the 10k!

Mysti's Run 08-28-2010
Workout: 30 minute Run
Distance: Unknown
Tonight, Joey wanted to run with me so John decided they could take a walk while I ran. The walking lasted all of two seconds before Joey started running with me. He ran a few steps in front of me for a couple of minutes, beside me for a couple of minutes and then started holding his side. It was really kind of funny, because all weekend he has been saying "I can run faster than Mysti, I can run faster than Mysti". I think he really thought he could.

I did it, but the last half mile was difficult. My body started yelling at me. I don't know if it was the banana pudding I had for dessert and the two Dr. Peppers today or if it was just simple pushing too hard.

Running Stats:
Time:30 minutes
Distance: 2.73ish
Pace:11:00ish
I ran with Murray this morning. We tackled a huge hill...twice! It slowed us down, but it was a good run. He was a good running partner today, you can just never tell with that dog. He was also very happy to get his ice cube when he got back inside.
I have a run tomorrow because this week in my training is the start of 5 run weeks. I'm still trying to figure out how to logistically get 5 runs in with my very weird schedule...and not end up running 5 days in a row. Michael says 5 runs are too many so I should just stick with 4. I can't decide if he is saying that because he cares or because he doesn't want me to get better than him! haha.
Since I have finished another 5 weeks of 10k training, I get 5 more songs for my ipod running playlist. Any suggestions?? I like pretty much anything.

Michelle's Run 7.25.10
Running Stats:
Time: 40 minutes
Distance: 3.79
Pace: 10:33
I started the run off with a slower 11 minute pace. Usually when I run on the treadmill I am trying to push myself speed-wise. But today I decided I would not concentrate on that as much. I did get faster as I went along so I ended up with a decent pace. I'm sure I could have run faster, but this run felt good and I am happy that I am able to run almost 4 miles pretty easily (and without stopping).
I was supposed to run yesterday as well, but this week has been crazy busy. I may make up the run tomorrow, but I probably won't because I am running Friday and Saturday, so that would mean 4 days of running in a row. Also, tomorrow has potential to be a very long day as well. So we will see where the day takes me.

Workout: 35 minute Run
Distance: 3.2 miles
I was not planning to run today, but after a busy day I decided I needed some stress relief.
Cloudy and Cool = Wonderful / Windy = Surprisingly not so wonderful
Running against the wind was almost impossible. I felt like my feet were going twice as fast but I was going twice as slow; it was kind of like running/walking upstream. Looked up the weather for fun and the wind is coming from the north at 11 mph and gusting up to 22 mph.
So, you learn something new every day...Running + Wind = not always good.

An ok run...
First 45 minute run. Overall, a little slower today. I will blame it on waiting until 8:00am to run causing me to be in full sun the entire time.
The eeerrrr part of my run was when a father pushing two children, toddlers, ran past me. Are you kidding me; I wasn't going that slow !!

I honestly can't believe I actually finished this run. All night I have planned on just running tomorrow. I ate dinner (pasta and wine) and even had ice cream. However, when 8pm rolled around and I had nothing to do I suddenly decided it was a good time to run for an hour! My goal was just to not throw up.
I had to run the last 20 minutes inside on a treadmill because it got too dark. I didn't throw up and I actually felt good for most of the run (as good as you can feel on your 2nd hour long run I suppose.) So, I'm proud of myself.

I am very excited about tonights run !!
It went well and I officially ran the miles for a 5k. I should really start looking for a 5k to run in.
&
I bought a new pair of shoes, a pair of trouser jeans and gray dress pants !!
As discussed in a previous post, I have not really lost any weight; however, the gray dress pants I got today are a size 2. Exciting, even though I really think it is just a random mistake in sizing. I have never been able to wear a size 2; I typically wear a size 4 or 6.

Running Stats:
Time: 27 minutes
Distance and Pace: I don't know
This was a frustrating run. I think it was because I was in a bad mood or something. I didn't sleep well, Murray ran with me and was bad, and the sun came out half way through the run and made it miserable! I think the not sleeping well effected the other bad elements of the run. But, my run is done for the day. Tomorrow I am supposed to run 60 minutes again. I'll have to psych myself up for that all day today.
Well I have to run and get ready for work. Hour long commutes make everything seemed rushed. (At least I only drive the hour once a week or so.)

Schools start back Thursday; therefore, my work schedule is about to get busy. I hope I can keep up my running schedule !!

Back from Vacation =(
It is a good thing I am back because all I did was eat, lay on the beach, eat, shop, eat, stay up late and eat some more !!
I only ran twice this week but both runs felt pretty good. My left arch has stopped hurting...Which is Great. My right arch is pulling a little now, but not to the point of needing to stop during my runs.
I just have to add an extra GREAT JOB MICHELLE for all her hard work this past week !!

I think I found a race
When I (Michelle) started training for the 10k I didn't have a specific race in mind. I figured it would be easy to find a 10k to run in the month of October. Oh how I was wrong. We looked in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Atlanta for a 10k in October that worked for us. We found one that was going to be really hilly (no thank you) and one that a lot of people run in costume (could be fun, but I am just going to be happy to finish).
Well, we were looking at the upcoming college football schedules and were trying to find a Georgia Tech game to go to, when we found out that there was a game on September 25th. I looked at the race schedule and sure enough there is a 10k race that day in the Atlanta area.
The reason we don't know for sure if we are going to sign up is because this semester I have a class that meets a few Saturdays a month. I am hoping to find out this week if I will have class that Saturday or not.
This race is a week before my training program is over, but I think I can be ready. It might not be a fast run, but I feel pretty confident that I will finish. It's exciting to have a possible race to run in!
I'll keep you updated on what we decide!

So close to a 10 minute mile pace. The AC is finally working again in our workout room. Let's hope it stays that way. I know running on a treadmill makes it easier to run a faster pace, but just the fact that I'm getting faster is encouraging.
Michael is out of town this week. He is a big source of encouragement with my running, so I am a little nervous I will get lazy. But I have a feeling I will be so bored that I will be wanting to run just to have something to do.

This run was pretty slow, but a pretty good run. My knees were hurting a little after the 60 minute run and yesterday I scrubbed the floors, so that didn't help any. They didn't hurt too bad on the run, just a little sore after.
It was soo hot! Most of the run was in the direct sun and there was no breeze. Although I love summer, I am ready for cooler temps at least in the morning.

Michelle's Run 8.11.10
Running Stats:
Time: 60 minutes
Distance: 5.06
Pace: 11:51
I ran for an hour! I can't believe it. My goal was to just run for an hour and I was hoping to at least run 5 miles. I did both of those things.
When I woke up this morning I wasn't sure how the run would go. It was hot, I was sore from my minor car accident yesterday, and the thought of running 60 minutes was scary to me. However, I felt pretty good from the beginning of the run and I slowly gained confidence that I could do it.
Murray ran with me for the first 30 minutes. He was much better this time, maybe he's starting to get the hang of it. After 30 minutes, I ran him by the house. The only time I stopped on the whole run was to let him back inside and make sure he had water. (I stopped my watch... so the time doesn't reflect dropping Murray off). Then I started running again as soon as I shut the door and didn't stop until the end of the run. I even had enough energy at the end to finish strong!
This was my third day in a row running. I am definitely looking forward to the rest tomorrow. Friday will be back to a 30 minute run, maybe it will seem easy after this run. Ha!
Oh, and I will leave you with a picture of me that I took after the run. It's a bad picture, but it shows my hard earned sweat (and there was a lot of it). I always try to take a picture of Murray after a run because he just passes out by the door, but as soon as I turn the camera on he sits up.
I know you are jealous of how frizzy my hair gets with sweat, heat, and humidity!

I finally ran outside on some actual roads so that I could track my run a little easier. Ok, it wasn't actual roads... but around our huge apartment complex. I could use mapmyrun.com to get close to my distance. I also ran with Murray. We didn't run hills today, but he still slowed me down the last 10 minutes. The last 5 minutes I tried to pick up my speed and I was pulling him! We aren't good running partners. The first 10 minutes he is trying to pull me and the last 10 I am trying to pull him. We also is a little pain when he tries to run up onto the grass to go the bathroom or when we tries to chase squirrels and birds. He keeps me on my toes that's for sure... I don't even remember what songs I listened to because I was too busy looking for things Murray might start running toward!
So that explains the slow run.
Tomorrow morning is going to be the 50 minute run! My running schedule is way off this week, but as long as I get all the runs in I am satisfied.

The last 5 minutes I tried to pick up my speed and I was pulling him! We aren't good running partners. The first 10 minutes he is trying to pull me and the last 10 I am trying to pull him. We also is a little pain when he tries to run up onto the grass to go the bathroom or when we tries to chase squirrels and birds. He keeps me on my toes that's for sure... I don't even remember what songs I listened to because I was too busy looking for things Murray might start running toward!
So that explains the slow run.
Tomorrow morning is going to be the 50 minute run! My running schedule is way off this week, but as long as I get all the runs in I am satisfied.
Mysti's Run 08-06-2010
Workout: 25 minute Run
Distance: 2.3 miles
6:00am was early !!
My run started off good, but I had to slow down because my arches started hurting. This is really the first time they have hurt...seems out of the blue.
I am suppose to run 35 minutes tomorrow, but I might put it off until Sunday.

Michelle's Run 8.3.10
Time: 30 minutes
Distance: unkown
Pace: slow
A HOT and humid night run. I didn't even have enough energy at the end to finish strong, I just kind got slower and slower until I came to a stop. haha. I'm so glad Michael ran with me. I don't think I would have gone on my own.
I am supposed to run 50 minutes tomorrow. Since I ran tonight I won't be running in the morning, so I'll either run tomorrow night or Thursday. I may also go ahead and run 30 minutes Thursday and 50 minutes Friday. We'll see...

Michelle's Run 8.1.10
Running Stats: 30 minutes
Distance: unknown
Pace: unknown
7:30 am run, on a Sunday! My main motivation for getting up this morning was the weather. It was going to be about 10 degrees cooler this morning than it's supposed to get tonight.
I took Murray with me on my run. Since it was my day to walk him anyways, I saved time by bringing him along on the run. I also thought it would be a good time to take him since it was cooler and I knew there wouldn't be a lot of other people/dog out. He had a great time for the first 20 minutes. The last 10, I was pretty much pulling him along. The pace was way down... I never thought Murray would be the one slowing me down!
On our first lap we were running down a hill and Murray was having a great time. His tongue was out and he had a bounce in his step. The song playing on my ipod was "Beautiful Day" by U2, I couldn't help but think how perfect that song was for Murray at that moment. I'm sure he was thinking it was a beautiful day... then 20 minutes later he was thinking more like "Misery Business."
