Mysti's Run 12-28-2010

Workout: 20 Minute Run

At my parents' house for most of the week, which means running on the dirt road.
It was a short run, but felt pretty good despite 30 degree weather.

I wore my new shirt Michelle got me, Love it !! (Along with more layers)

Michelle's Run 12.24.10

Distance: 3 miles
Time: 31:40

Ran 3 miles on a treadmill at my mom's work.  I wore my new running tights, which are really warm... too warm for running inside.  I will probably not run again until December 31st of January 1st.  I hope a week of not running won't set me back too much. 

No Run :(

I was looking forward to running today and wearing my new long sleeve running shirt Michelle and Michael got me for Christmas !!

But...

My back has decided to act up today. It felt sore this morning, but then I was just walking around the mall, took a stop off the escalator and Ouch !! Oh well, it happens every once in awhile...I should be good in a couple of days.

Michelle's Run 12.20.10

Time: 31:50
Distance: 3.1 miles/ 5k

Michael, Murray, and I went on a little family 5k run around my parent's neighborhood.  I used my new ipod/ nike+ that Michael got me for Christmas.  It has a sensor that goes in your shoe and then a piece that connects to the ipod.  You can set a goal distance or time and a voice tells you when you've ran a mile. It can also tell you how long you've been running and your pace.  It's pretty neat if I do say so myself.  I'm looking forward to using this while training for the half marathon.

Michelle's Run 12.18.10

Time: 62:31 minutes

Ran about 6 miles outside.  I wore my new dry-fit long sleeve shirt (I love it) with a T-shirt over it.  Then I wore shorts... probably should have worn pants.  But I only have one pair of capris to run in.  Definitely need to invest in some running tights ASAP.  Of course I also wore my headband/ear cover thing to keep my ears warm.

The run was great.  I probably could have ran a couple more.

A brave moment

No run today.  I was going to try to run, but I have 6 miles tomorrow and I kept getting distracted with things today.  But I did do something brave.... I added a page on the blog with my body measurements.  I am curious to see how my body changes while training for the half marathon.  I will update it each month.  I didn't post my weight though, I'm not that brave.  hahaha.  I know that someone could just compare their measurements to mine and kind of figure it out, but seriously... if you are going to go to that much trouble you need something more productive to do!  :) 

Michelle's Run 12.16.10

Running Stats:
Time: 31:50
Distance: 3 miles
Pace: 10:36

I was supposed to run 4 miles, but my mind wasn't in it.  So instead I ran 3 and tried to pick up my pace as I went along.  Since starting back to running several times a week I have been slower and having trouble speeding up.  But I think it will come as I keep training.
