Michelle's Run 8.7.10

Running Stats:
Time: 50 minutes
Distance: 4.60 miles
Pace: 10:52

I'm pretty happy with the results of the run, but I thought I was going to die during it.  The last 13 minutes were pure torture.  I can't believe I ran 4.6 miles.  Next week I am supposed to run for 60 minutes.... not sure if that is going to happen.

Michelle's Run 8.6.10

Running Stats:
Time: 30 minutes
Distance: 2.69
Pace: 11:09

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.

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."
