Kickin' Ass

It's been a couple of days, but I did a Week 3 run on Wednesday and rocked it! The last minute of the 3 minute run was tough, but the rest of the run was cake. So I'm going to step it up tomorrow morning to the Week 4 workout. Wahoo! I love seeing progress.

Week 3: Run 3

Wahoo! I've made it to week 3! I'm excited because I can't remember the last time I could run this long. It's been forever!

Today I did 1.54 miles at my typical, slow 3.3 - 4.3 pace. But I don't care. I'll work on speed when I get to week 10!

Week 3: Run 2

I have been pathetic at running this week. But I had a great excuse. Kate came to visit. That meant that there would be not exercising, but plenty of alcohol and sugar. I made sure to fulfill the latter committment to the bad stuff but did not step foot near the gym.

I drug myself there today and am now very glad I did. It wasn't a stellar run, but I finished it, then did 30 minutes of weights. I will probably go back tomorrow even though I should rest, and slam in my 3rd run.

I did 1.47 miles in 25 minutes. 3.3 - 4.3 mph.

Week 3: Run 1

So this run isn't as long as the other runs, which didn't occur to me. I just listen to the voice and he tells me what to do. But it was still hard. I'm in the phase where I'm getting "injured". My knees, ankles, hips and shins all hurt when I start running. They generally feel better when I'm done, but then I'm too tired to care!

I ran 1.52 today at 3.3 - 4.4.
