Day 29 - I'm not dead, just snowed in!

Wow, its been 15 days since my last post and I have learned one thing!  There is a reason people from New England don't win the Boston Marathon.  In a word, SNOW!!!

I just started running and training again again.  Yes, that's two agains.  Almost starting over with 50 days left makes my training a bit tough.  I have a 20 mile run with Karmin schedule for the end of March.  Right now I can do a 13 mile run without an issue.  I ran 6 miles this morning on the treadmill in 56 minutes.  I HATE RUNNING ON THE TREADMILL!  Its so boring to be running for an hour just staring at a crappy TV with a show you don't like on it.  It looks like I might have to stick with treadmills for a little bit longer since we are supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow this weekend.

  I'm thinking of making a gaming and technology Blogger site.  What do you think?

Day 15 - Faster and Longer...

Sicko!  I'm finding that I'm able to run longer distances at faster speeds now.  Its just the beginning, but after about a mile and a half I find cruise control kicks in.  Once I'm in that groove I feel like I can keep going for as long as I need too (Sicko, again!).

I ran with MapMyRun! Distance: 6.05mi, time: 52:49, pace: 8:44min/mi, speed: 6.87mi/h. http://mapmyrun.com/view_route?r=893136015302048190

Day 14 - Sometimes you run out of time.

  Today I ran out of time between work and things at home and I couldnt run.  This is unfortunate because im already have to compress my training schedule since its based on 18 weeks and I started with only 13 weeks. 

  The kids came home sick and apprently gave it to mom so we're giving her the day off.  Thanks mom for being a trooper and dealing with these monsters on a weekly basis.

Day 13 - No run, just cross training

  I find these cross training days a bit of a waste.  Not that I want to run more, but I dont have the means to do a lot of cross training.  I will do some insanity,  but I dont want to do that too much because it could be bad for my knees.

  I dont have too much to say today.  :/

Day 12 - First Long Run

I ran my first long run today, and due to some navigational issues I ended with only 7 miles instead of 8.  Whoops.

I ran with MapMyRun! Distance: 7.03mi, time: 01:05:05, pace: 9:16min/mi, speed: 6.48mi/h. http://mapmyrun.com/view_route?r=661135990920199780

Day 11 - Short run = Short post

The kids were away for the weekend and I'm just catching up on my blog now.  Saturday was a nice relaxing day.  I can't believe how rested I will be when I head to work on Monday.

I ran with MapMyRun! Distance: 3.00mi, time: 24:28, pace: 8:09min/mi, speed: 7.37mi/h.

Day 10 - Waaa, i had a tough week.

  So, people we need to have a talk.  I know people are reading these and not one person has commented saying "WAAA, now quit your bitching".  For the past couple of days its been, "I had a shitty day".  Reading it now I'm like damn I'm a whiney bitch.  So, that's life and move on time.

  So, today was a better day.  I got to work and put in a 5.3 mile run first thing.  I didn't follow the heart rate training because I can't get my monitor to work correctly.  So, I ran a bit too fast and finished my run at a pace of 8:51/mile and I burned about 800 calories.
