Distance: 4 miles
Time: 41:36
Pace: 10:24
I'm glad I got out and ran this morning. Since last week's terrible treadmill run I have really had a mental block on running. I just haven't wanted to get out there. It also didn't help that this weekend we were in Virginia for a wedding so there was a lot of dancing, drinking, late nights and rich foods! It's also going to rain most of the day today.
The first 2.5 miles of the run were a struggle. I stopped to get a drink of water and was deciding how much further to run when I looked at my ipod screen and noticed that I was actually making better time than I thought. So I made a deal with myself, I could run just 4 miles instead of 5 as long as I ran fast and pushed myself. So that's what I did. At the end of the run a little voice came on my ipod that said "Congratulation that was your fastest mile!"
Last run of February!

Mysti's Run 02-26-2011
Workout: 30 Minute Run
Distance: About 2.75 Miles
My run today was not the best but not the worst either. I just felt slow. It seemed like I had 5lbs weights on my legs. The weather was nice and that is always good.
Hopefully the rain will hold off tomorrow so I can get another run in.

Mysti's Run 02-23-2011
Workout: 4 Mile Run
Time: 45 Minutes
This morning I took a huge chuck out of my pinky toe and was afraid it was going to hinder my run today since it took about 30 minutes to stop the bleeding. Sad and Funny...All I did was walk out of the bathroom and caught the baseboard.
Good Run !!
I took it easy throughout this run, because it has been a long time since I have ran 4 miles. So, about every half mile I stopped and walked for about 30 seconds.

Mysti's Run 02-22-2011
Workout: 2 Mile Run
Time: 22 Minutes
I took it easy tonight in hopes to run again tomorrow. (Tomorrow 61 and Sunny !!) I am going to find my old running schedules and try to put something together tonight because I have hopes that there will be more nice days than snowy cold day from this week forward. Therefore, hopefully the times of feeling like a fare weather runner will be gone. Oh, I cannot wait to Spring.
I am also counting the days till I visit Michelle... 10 Days !!

Michelle's Run 2.22.11
Distance: 2 mile run
2 mile walk
This was terrible. I was trying to squeeze in a 3 mile run between the class I teach and the class I take. However, I didn't leave enough time between lunch and running. I ran about a mile and half and thought I was going to throw up! Then I walked for a while and tried to run some more on and off. Everytime I started running I felt awful. So I just had to walk the rest of the time. I also have to walk a half mile to the fitness center and a half mile back. (that's the 2nd mile of walking).

Michelle's Run 2.20.11
Distance: 10 miles
Time: 1:49:10
Pace: 10:55
My first 10 mile run! I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself. Although, for some reason 10 seemed a lot longer than 9. I was so tired the last mile I didn't know if my legs would keep moving. I definitely couldn't have run 3.1 more to make it a half. I'm feeling a little sore, but hopefully I won't be tomorrow. Now if I can just get some good runs in this week. (Next weekend will not be a 10 mile run because we are going to be out of town and it's the start of a lighter running week.)
I also need some new music to download. Any suggestions?
I updated my measurements page. I lost a little in my waist and hips. My calves just keep getting bigger though! Ugh!

Michelle's Run 2.18.11
Distance: 2.5 mile run; 1 mile walk with Murray
This was a terrible, terrible run. I was pretty anxious to start running this afternoon and was wanting to get in about 5 miles. However, once I started I quickly realized that wasn't going to happen. I don't know if it was the cold, the weather (it was warm and humid), or a mental block. But, no matter what the reason I couldn't run more than 2.5 miles. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday will be better!
