Running Week - Jan. 22nd to 28th - Because I can.

2.5 miles on the treadmill at the work gym at lunchtime. I usually do between 3 and 3.5 miles, but the battery in my MP3 player was dead, much to my chagrin, and running on the treadmill without music is near-about impossible for me!

Oh well, better than nothing....

2.65 on the treadmill, nice and slow. It was my first run since the 1/2 marathon last weekend and it felt pretty good.

I ran on the indoor track today. I don't know why I thought it would be warm in there but I did. I was wearing shorts and a sleeveless top and I was freezing. Colder than I would have been if I'd bundled up and run outdoors at -15.

It is very boring running on a track. My garmin data looked funny on a track. Plus I guess I didn't turn it off after the run because it said I ran 8.5km instead of 3.5 and that my top speed was 68 kmh. Hee hee....

I've left mine on in the car before too But that's GPS data from indoors, not foot pod? Is yours a ForeRunner 305? I guess they really do have a better antenna than the 301.

3.5 for me yesterday, nice and easy, just staying loose. It put me over 50 miles for the year. How did this happen - signing up for this 5K just because I've wanted the cool T-shirt for 3 years now - turned into actually training for it Now I need a new pair of shoes, too.

I'm lucky I'm slow, it's one sure way to keep my competitiveness from eating me up I was out riding with a couple of guys the other day, at a fairly spirited pace. One of them I hadn't really ridden with before, he says to me, "You could be really good at this." I'm like, "Dude, I've done 'could be good at this,' and it's why I didn't ride at all for 10 years." I know myself better than that now

I'm sick. Haven't been running

I just watched the trailer for Spirit of the Marathon movie (you can check it out on Youtube). It's from the 2006 Chicago Marathon--the one marathon I've run. It got me all excited to do another one. I'm thinking . . . . maybe the Denver Marathon this time. Can't wait to go home and talk to DH about it. They even have a mini-mile-marathon for kids under 4. DD would LOVE that.

I ran 4.2 miles today. I dropped my truck off for servicing and ran back to work during my lunch hour. How's that for commuting.

This is my 4th day in a row running if you include water running on Wed. My lower legs are really sore. I wonder why? I just wanted to see how many days in a row I could do. I think I might have found out.

Today was 4 miles. I will run 3 tomorrow then it's 20 for the week

I need to stagger it out more though. I ran five days this week with no rest days. My only non-running day was weight training. I'm starting to feel sore. Not horribly sore but I can feel it.

The great thing about today was I was mildly fatigued but I could still muster up energy to do some half-hearted intervals. Oh and the fact I didn't walk at all!

No, I have an Edge 305. Not really meant for running but I carry it for the data. It doesn't bother me.

26:11. I saved too much at the end, but hey, it was my first one, a learning experience, nearly 2 minutes faster than I expected, and it was FUN! I happy

[kelownagirl]

Yay Oakleaf!!! Great shot of you at the end too! My first (and only) 5k time was 26:17! Pretty close eh? But you were faster.

I did 3.3 km today. A bit warmer today (-4 C) but the roads are compact snow and ice so ran carefully. My calves are hurting again so I iced them, then had a hot bath and a stretch. Please let it be normal sore muscles.
