HeLLo Spring!!

That is not what my body thought about the warmer weather. Oh my, that was a difficult run. Also, had Samuel with me.

Michael and I have started a Run for God small group. I'm trying to get back into it. It's hard because I am so out of the habit. The running isn't hard, it's getting into a routine again.

Mysti's Workout - March 22, 2014

I had planned to meet Courtney at 6:30 and run 8 miles, but after being awake with both Samuel and John from 4:30-6:00 that did not happen. Samuel and I slept from 6:00-7:00, ate breakfast and joined Courtney for the end of her 12 miles. 

Great run with jogging stroller! I feel like it was similar to running 8 miles solo.

Mysti's Workout - March 21, 2014

Distance: 3 miles

Pace: 9:37 minutes

I wasn't sure if I would get a run in today, but after falling off the wagon at Dunkin Donuts this morning I was a little more motivated. Sam was napping and John got up to eat lunch so I ran with the opportunity. Hehehe :)

Spring!!

Mysti's Workout - March 19, 2014

I decided to try out the speed interval training idea and used the 5k Runner app to prompt the intervals. Below is a picture  - during walking parts we (with Courtney) ran normal pace and during running parts we sprinted. 

It went great! I was definantly glad when the intervals were over! It was nice to change it up and hopefully burn a few extra calories. I read somewhere at sometime that speed training helped target belly fat. Rather it does or doesn't it gave me extra motivation.

Typical pace at 3 miles / weekdays = 10:30 pace. 

Pace Improved :)

PS - Plan to go to gym and focus on arms in about an hour :)

4 mile run

Morning run for the first time since daylight savings. It was still very dark at 6:20am.

Another random note, news story last night was of a runner getting hit on the arm by a blow dart. It was even on same street I run on just a mile or two more north.

Sam and I made a trip to Aunt Cathy's and Grandparents' Farm last week - I decided I would leave the running shoes and jogging stroller behind. Enjoyed my break from reality while indulging in homemade fried pork chops and mashed potatoes.

Very excited about progress today. My knee hurt about 3 different times and could feel it was tight throughout run but never to the point I felt any damage or bad pain. 

Eating: Much better for me

Lunches- 3 salads, 1 tuna w dill pickles and wheat crackers and peanut butter sandwich. Only 1 Donut :)
