Michelle's run 11.27.14

60 minute run

In between cooking dishes, I got in an hour long run!! So excited! It made me feel so much better about my 10k next weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Michelle's run 11.24.14

22 minute run with jogger.

Heath wasn't too into the run. Just tried to get something in after work.

Mysti's Workouts - Week Nov 16th

Skipped my Monday run, again.

It had snowed / mix rain most all day Sunday and I was afraid at 6am I would fall or it was a good excuse :-(

This morning was good - 7 miles at 55 degrees and only a few rain drops.

Michelle's run 11.21.14

38 minute run with jogger

Heath and I ran on the river walk before our busy day of open gym, dr, errands, etc.

It was cool, but sunny. Didn't run as much as I wanted, but that's ok. I'll try to do better next week.

Mysti's Workouts - Week of Nov 9th

John was out of town last week and it was in the 20s each day so I missed Wed and Fri. It was just too cold to get Samuel in jogging stroller even with weather guard.

My Mon and Sat runs were good but nothing special.

Michelle's Run 11.12.14

4 mile run with the jogger

This was one of those days that got colder as the day went on.  I felt good during the run and wanted to go longer, but Heath's little hands got cold.  Some of that was one him... he refused to let me put up the weather shield which would have helped with the cold.  Then I tried to show him how putting his hands under his blanket would help, but he didn't want to do that either.  :)  But 4 miles isn't bad.  I just need to get more runs in!  We're going to Kentucky this weekend to see my brother and sister-in-law.  I'm hoping to get a run in there.  We will see....

Also, my goal for next week is to do one morning run before Michael goes to work.  Just one, to try it out.  Maybe I'll like it!

Another goal is to get Heath some mittens!  ha!

Michelle's workouts 11.5-11.9

Nov 5- run/walk 30 minutes
Nov 6- 30 minute walk
Nov 7- Jillian Michael's workout
Nov 8- We did the Heart Walk as a family (it was a 2.5 mile downtown walk)
Nov 9- 40 minute run (this was supposed to be a 5.5 mile run, but a house in our neighborhood that I was curious about was having an open house, so I stopped mid-run to check it out.  Then I ran more, but I had to stop before the 5.5 miles because a little person in our house demands to eat dinner by 6, so I had to start cooking.)  It was still a good run though!

None of these were super impressive, but I did stuff.  Also, I hadn't done any weights in a long time and was sore 2 days later from my JM workout.  I need to work more of those in!

Mysti's Week of November 2nd

I was so excited I found a pair of running tights at TJ Maxx for $16.99, but my legs hurt so bad in the run today - didn't even make it to our planned 8 miles.

Last time I bought capris I got size medium and they fell down while running. This time I went with a small and seriously think the pants made my legs hurt. I'm going to try and stretch them out some and try again. Maybe just bad run.

Overall, happy with running this week!

Mysti's Workout - Oct 31st & Nov 1st

Friday - 4 miles 

Saturday - 10 miles

I had a good run this morning and when I heard my pace at 7 miles was still under 10 I decided to try for 10 miles under 10 minutes. Apparently, I gave me a boost in motivation cause I came in at 9:47 pace.

Hello winter running stuff!!

Michelle's run 11.2.14

50 minute run

This was the best I felt on a run in a long time.  I could have kept going!  The weather was perfect for a run and I was jogger free!  I ran in parts of our area I hadn't run in since I was pregnant or before that even.  It was much needed.

Poor Michael, he was stuck at home with a screaming Heath that only wanted Mommy to come back.

Mysti's Workout - October 29, 2014

4 mile run

9:45 minute pace

This is the first time I'm looking forward to daylight savings, because at 6:30am you can still see stars in the sky.

Forgetting to blog, I've been running Wed, Fri and Sat - missed last couple of Mondays.

Michelle's run 10.27.14

4.5 mile run with jogger (.5 mile walk back to car)

Heath made it 4.5 miles without fussing too bad. I even tried to finish strong and pick up he pace at the end.

I didn't run much last week because work and life were busy, this weeks also going to be busy, but hopefully better.

Michelle's run 10.19.14

3 Mile family run.

We had a Sunday afternoon family run. The weather was great!

Michelle's workouts 10.13-10.15

Monday: 15 min run/15 min walk

Ran after dinner and it was not a good idea. The food had not settled enough. 

Tuesday: 30 min walk with jogger

Wednesday: 4 mile run with jogger

4 mile run! Ran at a flat 2 mile course, so we did two laps. Heath did pretty well. No major meltdowns. 

Mysti's Workout - Oct 15th

6 miles

10 minute pace

It's been 10 days since I ran, longest break in awhile. Trip to the farm, rain and being a little lazy. This morning felt great!

Michelle's run 10.9.14

25 minute run, 8 minute walk

Heath and I went for a run on the river walk. It was good, but a little warm since we went at 5pm. Heath did great.

Michelle's 10.6.14

30 minute run

Used a break in the rain to run around the neighborhood with Heath. Since he's not a fan if running past our house several times, I took the big loop around the neighborhood which includes a steep hill.  I walked that part, but it was still tough to push the stroller! He didn't pretty well since we didn't go by the house. I told him his job was to see what he could see on our run. Luckily our neighborhood is full of trees, trucks, birds, etc and we're in the flight path of the airport.

Michelle's run 10.4.14

3 mile run

Heath, Michael and I ran with a lady on Michael's Race for the cure team at a local sports complex area with a track around it. It was nice and flat! The weather was also great!

Mysti's Workout - Week of Sept 29th

Wed - 4 miles

Fri - 3 miles 

Sat - 11 miles, Pace 10.27

Michelle's Run 10.1.14

30 minute solo run in the evening

Went on a solo run after dinner.  Although, my stomach didn't seem happy about it and hasn't been great since (but, that probably means it was something else... not just the running). 

I have ran more in the last few weeks, but I forgot to blog them... probably 5 or so...

Heath has been challenging in the stroller.  When we run in the nieghborhood he throws a fit every time we pass by the house because he wants down.  Then he starts throwing things.  So, I'm either going to have to start going somewhere else with him to run or not running with him.  I know it's nice to run solo, but then I have to run first thing in the morning and Michael has to get up earlier so that he can watch him, or I have to run after dinner right before it gets dark. Maybe we'll try going somewhere to run...
