Michelle's Run 11.29.10

Time: 30 minutes

I ran outside for 30 minutes.  It was a little chilly, but I wore my ear headband thing to keep my ears warm.  I was happy that the run wasn't too hard.  I wasn't completely exhausted at the end.  I can't believe it's almost December.  I'm still planning on starting my half-marathon training December 11th.

Mysti's Run 11-24-2010

Workout: 2 Mile Run
Time: A little over 20 minutes.

I forgot to set my watch, but I am sure it was a little longer due the strong winds. I did not stop and walk while going into the windy but it did slow me down.


Happy Thanksgiving !!

Michelle's Run 11.21.10

Running Stats:
Distance: 3.5 miles
Time: pretty slow

Treadmill run.  It was slow, which isn't surprising since I have been sick and I hadn't ran in over a week.  I had stop twice to cough and/or use a tissue. (gross, I know)  But, at least I was able to run 3.5 miles without dying.  Hopefully I get a few more runs in this week.

Mysti's Run 11-10-2010

Workout: 40 Minutes on the Elliptical and 30 Wii Fitness Credits.


Today was just a bad day...

I am proud of myself for even getting a workout in !!

Michelle's Run 11.10.10

Running Stats:
Time: 30:35
Distance: 3 miles
Pace: 10:11

Good treadmill run.  I can't believe it had been a week since my last run.  I have been so busy with work, school, life, etc.  Anytime that I could have ran, I felt that I needed to use to study or work on schoolwork.  However, the end is near!  (I feel like I have been saying that forever!)

No November has been a bust the last few days.  It went downhill from Saturday when we basically pulled an allnighter (long story).  I don't think November was the best month to choose.  Maybe I'll get back in line this week, but probably not.  I'll probably just try again in like January when everyone else in the world decides to change their habits.

Mysti's Run 11-06-2010

Workout: 20 Minutes on Elliptical & 2 Mile 20 Minute Run

I decided since it was 36 degrees outside this morning I would use the elliptical for half the time. Starting on the elliptical first helped to get warmed up before heading out into the cold. 20 minutes outside in the cold was about all I could take. My nose gets so cold and then ironically starts to run. Haha...Bad Joke

Michelle's Run 11.3.10

Running Stats:
Time: 30:55
Distance: 3 miles

Treadmill run.  The first half was really good.  But then for the second half my calves were tight and I was struggling.  Michael was in the workout room lifting weights, so I was glad that he was ready to go when I hit 3 miles. 

Mysti's Run 11-03-2010

Workout: 4 Mile Run
Time: 42 Minutes

A good run. It took me a little longer than normal because there were two sections that I was running into the wind and just decided to walk.

I have stay motivated to run; however, I cannot get motivated to start using my Elliptical. I also want to start using my Wii Fitness game again.

Oh motivation motivation....Where are you ??

Michelle's Run 11.1.10

Running Stats:
Time:1:03:10
Distance: oh let's hope it was 6 miles

Yay!  I ran for 63 minutes.  I didn't exactly know the distance, but I figured that 63 minutes would get me close to 6 miles.  I felt great during the run.  I probably could have run further but I was starting to get low on energy.  I had definitely burned off my bowl of cereal.  I'm glad this run went so well since I hadn't run over 5 miles since the 10k. 

It's November!  I have a few fitness related goals for the month.  I'm kind of dubbing it No-November:
1. No soda or sweet tea.  (I'm going to try at least.)
2. No French Fries.

I was going to say no dessert, but with the Halloween candy and the Fall dessert... that wasn't going to happen.  Also, Thanksgiving is an exception.  I'll probably have a DP for Thanksgiving and I will truly be thankful for it.  hahaha.

On a non-fitness note, I'm also going to say No to Facebook for November.

The reasoning?  I need to be really focused in November.  I am finishing up my classes, work is going to be busy, and I am wanting to keep up with the running so that I don't get into a holidays slump and have to start all over again in the New Year.  But if I fail at any of these, I'm not going to beat myself up.
