Workout: 2 Mile Run
Time: 22 Minutes
I was a little slower than normal today due to the lack of consistent running lately, but it felt good to run and I did not have to stop to walk or stretch.
My fear has been that since I have slacked off so much I would have to starting training all over again. It is very nice to know that when nice weather returns I will easily get right back to where I was !!
Weather = 50 degrees :)

Michelle's Run 1.12.11
Distance: 4 miles
Another treadmill run (running outside right now would definitely end in a twisted ankle or broken tailbone) that really was not fun. It was soooo hot in the workout room. I wanted to run 5 miles, but 4 was all I could take. At the end I was drenched in sweat and I wasn't even running that fast. I had worn capris, but I think I need to remember to wear shorts from now on.
I wasn't really sore from yesterday's workout, but I am really sore now. Since I don't usually get sore after a 4 mile run I'm guessing it's from the combination of yesterday and today.

Mysti's Run 01-12-2011
Workout: 35 minutes on Eliptical & 30 minutes on Kinect
Good inside workout !!
The eliptical was really boring, but the kinect was fun. I played the Adventures game today and focused mainly to two activities which involved lots of jumping, moving side to side and bending down.
I would like to get a workout or dance game.

Michelle's Workout 1.11.11
Workout stats:
Elliptical: 5 minutes (high level)
Stepper: 5 minutes (high level)
Bike: 5 minutes (high level)
Arm weights: 3 sets of 3 different lifts
100 crunches
I had all intentions of running, but when I got to the workout room all of the treadmills were being used. (I think being snowed in has made people a little stir crazy...and those New Years Resolutions). So, I decided to switch it up a bit and also get in one of my abs/arms workouts for the week. I was sweating (a little) and my heart rate was up, but I didn't feel the satisfaction that I feel from a run. I'm curious to see if I will be sore tomorrow.

2011 Running/Fitness Goals
So, since it's the new year I thought it would be a good time to set some running/fitness goals for the year. However, instead of the whole year... I thought maybe just the next 6 months. I think 6 months will be better because I have no idea what job I will be doing or anything after June, that could effect my workouts. I also may need/want a break from running and want to start trying something different... who knows. So, here are my goals for the first 6 months of 2011:
-run a 5k in less than 30 minutes
-run a 10k in less than 60 minutes
-run a half marathon
-start doing ab/arm exercises at least 2 times a week
-try out some of the different fitness classes at UT for a change of pace from running and an escape from the cold
-run a 5k in less than 30 minutes
-run a 10k in less than 60 minutes
-run a half marathon
-start doing ab/arm exercises at least 2 times a week

Michelle's Run 1.6.11
Distance: 5 miles
Time: 54 minutes or so... it was slow, so I didn't care to remember it.
Outside run. The run didn't really feel hard, but I just couldn't seem to move very fast. I was supposed to run yesterday, but it was snowing. Today it was still cold, but the sun was out. After this run, I can't imagine running 7 miles this weekend. I think I can, I think I can...
Oh, I meant to post this picture the other day. It's me in my new running tights. They are soo warm. They are from Target. I feel a little self conscious in them, so I won't be wearing them to the grocery store anytime soon, but they are great for winter running. Plus, they were just $20. My mom bought me a pair of pants with the same material from Target, but they have a little flare at the bottom. I wore those today. They are warm, but not as warm as the tights. The pink shirt is the same one I got Mysti for Christmas, but in a different color. It is from Wal-Mart. Maybe I should invest in a more discreet color of ear-warmers... the bright blue sure does stand out!
p.s. how funny does Murray look in this picture. It looks like he has no head and no tail. haha.

Michelle's Run 1.3.11
Running Stats:
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 42:15
Pace: 10:33
First run of 2011! I love my Nike + ipod that I got for Christmas. It gives me all of the stats, during and after the run. It tells me out loud every mile. Now I can run around my apartment complex and know exactly how far I am running. It was also nice to see a decent pace as well. Hoping to get closer to 10 minute miles consistently by the half marathon.
This run was a little difficult. But that is to be expected since I hadn't run in over a week and I had been eatting a much of cookies, snacks, etc. It will get easier. (Hopefully by this weekend when I am supposed to run 7 miles!)
So here's to a great year of running!
