Distance: 5 miles
Time: 53:05
Pace: 10:37
Two 5 mile runs in a row! My legs are feeling it now. The weather was perfect, so I had to take advantage of it! My shins were hurting though, so I probably need to ice them more.

Michelle's Run 1.30.11
Distance: 5.28 miles
Time: 56:08
Pace: 10:38
I didn't run the 8 miles I had planned, but it was a pretty good run. I was Michael's "pacer" for the run. He ran behind me because he wanted to run a longer distance and thought that he would run too fast if he ran in front of me. It's mentally taxing to have someone run right behind you for 5 miles. I kept worrying if I was running too fast or too slow. It was sooo warm out. Definitely Spring weather! (Although I am used to be 40 degree runs, so 70 degrees felt almost hot.)

Michelle's Walk 1.28.11
1.5 mile walk with Murray
Although the weather was nice today, I did not have the motivation to run. I actually didn't have motivation to do anything today. But I decided to take Murray out and we ended up walking about a mile and half around the apartment complex. Didn't burn as many calories as a 4 mile run, but at least I did something I guess. Murray was happy too!
Now I am off to burn a couple more calories looking at cars...

Michelle's Run 1.27.11
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 40:40
Pace: 10:10
This was a very strange run for me. I ran the first 1.3 miles (one long loop) and then decided to take Murray with me for the rest of the run. I stopped my nike +ipod when I got Murray and then started it again when we started our run ( forgot how fast he runs), but then he had some bathroom issues. So I had to stop again and let him work out his issues. Finally we were able to get into a rhythm (except the 2 times when he saw another dog). I didn't really feel good during the run and I figured it was because of all of the stopping and going. I hadn't been looking at my time as all during the run, but I thought it would be so bad because of all of the stopping, slowing down, etc. So, when my ipod told me we had gotten to 4 miles I was so surprised to look and see 40 minutes and 40 seconds. That's the fastest I've ran in a while. I'm definitely tired and out of breath (something I don't normally get on a run).
So I found out (we reminded of) today that Murray can help me pick up my pace, but he comes with his own challenges as well! :)
Sometimes I get so discouraged at my slow pace. But it's not that I can't run fast it's that I don't really try to run fast. I'm so worried that I will go to fast in the beginning and not be able to run the whole distance. While, that's a good strategy for long runs, I need to push myself a little more on shorter ones.

Michelle's January Measurements
I finally updated my measurements for January. I should have measured last week, but I kept forgetting. I took the measurements Monday instead. I really didn't think I would see any changes because this past month included 2 weeks of not much running and a lot of eating. But I was surprised to see my body had changed some. I didn't really lose any lbs on the scale, but I am perfectly fine with that. So, we will see what next month's measurements look like.

Michelle's Run 1.24.11
Running Stats:
Distance: 8 miles!!!!
Time: 1:27
Wow! 8 miles! The weather was perfect! It was in the 50's for most of my run. The first 2 miles my feet felt like the lead. The last two I don't know if you could really call what I was doing running... it was probably more like slow jogging..haha. But, I did it! I know tomorrow I will be sore. But hopefully this next weekend when I run 8 again it will be easier. There is a big difference between 6 miles and 8 miles! I guess I "felt" good the whole time, but by the end my legs were just tired.
Well, off to ice my knees and hips and... haha
