Hills x 2 (2.41 miles)

Posted: November 28, 2007 in Hills, Running

Comments: Ran to a short hill that’s about .15 of a mile long, but very steep. Ran it up 2 times (as fast as my lunges would let me), partially walking then running back down; then back to work. I am tired now. Next time I am bringing water and trying it 3 times. Weather:  32 [...]

Occasionally I send cards to my Grandmother in Germany, who is now 94.  With school pictures of her great-grand children to send to her I went a bought her a card today. For some reason I felt the need to share what was on the front of the card with my BRFs (I know my Grandma [...]

Posted: November 27, 2007 in Running

Comments: Run 5, walk 1…the mileage is an approx, my Garmin didn’t kick in right away, but it’s about 4 miles. Felt strong. I was a tad bit overdressed and had to unzip my jacket a bit to cool off. :) (Side note: My runs always seems faster in town, I don’t know if that’s because it’s [...]

5 miles @ home (11:26)

Posted: November 18, 2007 in Running

Comments: Instead of running on Saturday I ran on Sunday. I just didn’t feel like running and my arms were very sore from weight lifting. Nice and easy run (walk break after each 1.5 mile)…I started off with a headache and was worried that it might turn into more (migrane), but it went away after the [...]

YMCA – “speed training”

Posted: November 14, 2007 in Speed Training, YMCA

Comments: I am not sure if you can call it speed training because when a turtle goes fast it is still slow. But I’ll never turn into that hare(ess) unless I try.  The track at the Y is 1/16th of a mile. I will continue this for another 2 weeks or so and then increase [...]
