Time: 20 minute run, 2 minute walk
It was a little chilly to start, but I warmed right up. The beginning of my week was really busy and left me exhausted! I was happy to make it home at a decent time and get a run in before the sun went down. It also helps my mood that I saw my precious baby today. He/she is perfect!

Michelle's Run 11.11.12
Time: 30 minute run (without stopping!); 5 minute walk (cool down)
I felt so great during this run. Seriously, like I wasn't pregnant, except I knew I was going slower. Here are what I think factored into the good run:
1. I ran a flat route, so less round ligament pain
2. The weather was great
3. I wore the Beband. It probably isn't made for running, but it gave a little extra support. (even though it caused me to sweat more)
I didn't even have music or anything. I just ran.
I guess I will try to run the flat route more often, it means I have to walk along a section of a busier road (not on it, but in the grass next to it...there isn't a sidewalk), but it isn't too bad.

Mysti's Workout 11-11-2012
Couch to 5k - Week 3 Day 1: 1.35 miles, 17 minute. I did not complete the entire run, suppose to be 26 minutes. It has been raining off and on all day, and I thought I picked a good time to go as it was just misting. At about a mile it went from misting to sprinkling and I thought this is still not to bad I can probably make 2 miles. Well, then it flat out started raining and I headed back to the house. I walked in the house and John said "are you motivated or crazy" to which I replied "definitely crazy".

Mysti's Workout 11-10-2012
Couch to 5k - Week 2 Day 3: 30 minutes and 2.35 miles. Note to self - eat more than a 90 calorie breakfast bar on a day to run. :) Totally forgot that I hadn't really ate until halfway through my workout. Oh well, it was really nice outside and I enjoyed it!

Michelle's run 11.8.12
Distance: 1 mile run; .5 mile walk
This wasn't good. I didn't feel like running, but knew that I wouldn't be able to run tomorrow. So, I decided to go. I changed clothes and put my shoes on. Every time I put my running shoes on, Murray gets so excited. So, I feel bad not taking him. Michael had told me the last time I took him, that I probably didn't need to anymore, but I felt bad, so I harnessed him up. Well, it was a mistake. We started running and I felt good. However, we saw a dog. When we see other dogs I have to pick up my pace to get him to concentrate on running and not the dog. Well, he still pulls and lunges at the other dog, so I have to use my strength to pull him back. I'm also always afraid that he will trip me. Then, we go a little farther and two men are walking down the street on the uphill. I know that I need to run past them, for the same reasons as before. So I am trying to run faster uphill while he is pulling on me. By the time we got to the top I was exhausted. We walked the downhill and after I got my breath back to normal we started running again. Then we saw TWO more dogs. Ugh! So, for the third time the situation repeated itself. I barely got past the people before I had to stop. By this point I was breathing ok, but in pain. (I'm guessing my round ligament joints.) I just walked straight home and didn't even finish my route.
I should have just left him at home. I don't know why I am cursed with such a terrible running dog. That was one of the reasons I really wanted a dog, I wanted a running partner. But instead, I got a dog that tried to pull my arm off. I don't get so frustrated normally, but when running is already a bigger challenge, his behavior sends me over the edge. (Not to mention the hormones!)
This is probably the longest post for a 1 mile run ever. It's not even that exciting, but I needed to write this to remind me in the future that even though he wants to go on the run...he just can't until May. (Maybe this will motivate me to go on more walks on my non-running days, because walking I think I can handle with him....just not running.)

Mysti's Workout 11-07-2012
Couch to 5k - Week 2 Day 2: 25 minutes, 2 miles, 37 degrees. I dislike cold weather. It smelled like winter outside, not fall. It felt strange for some reason.

Michelle's workout 11.6.12
Workout: OnDemand Cardio workout (30 min)
I tried out a cardio workout on the OnDemand. It was ok. At least I did something that kept me moving for 30 minutes. It hasn't been ideal running weather. Chilly and cloudy. I just need to suck it up! (And get more long sleeve running shirts)
Now I am ready to sit on the couch the rest of the night! haha.
