25 min. spin. Our instructor wasn't there and the sub was awful. Also got in some weights. Samantha is running at Alpine Days today so I won't get anything else in.
I did a half mile warm-up and then 17 spin. plus weights. Too many people were talking to me in the morning so I had to go back later and get something in. Not much of a workout.
3 miles 9.54, 9.41, 9.33 We turned a corner as a lady was crossing the street. We only had 1/4 mile left to run. I could hear her behind us and finally she said "I hope you don't mind me pacing off you guys. how far are you running?" "Only 3 miles. How about you?" She seemed really disappointed. "18 miles. I'm only 4 miles in" I almost died. She was at least 10 years older than we are and had no food or water and was wearing pants that rubbed together and a t-shirt, and yet she can run 18 as fast as I run 3. Just a little embarrassing.
After the first mile I stopped to stretch because I felt like I couldn't breath. I started running again but I just felt tired. I decided to run/walk as much as I could but I just couldn't get into it, I figured since I had gone 7 yesterday and was going to lift weights and cut the grass, I'd just walk home and call it a day. Then I though how pathetic it was that I didn't even run 3 miles. 3 miles is so easy, anyone can do it. So I went back to my one mile mark and ran 2 more miles, plus .15 uphill for good measure, then I walked .85 home. So, all said and done I got in 5 miles, plus a mile from cutting the grass (Does that count?). I wore the Garmin while cutting the grass because I've always been curious how far it is. .93 to be exact. So while I did not get in the 6 mile run that I was planning, I was so proud for making myself get out there and run. Also, I decided that I should focus on just running no matter how slow it was and that people always say that you should be able to talk while you run. Well, I was running alone and had forgotten my ipod, so I decided to talk to myself. Mostly I just said how crazy people must think I am! Progress, since I never talk when I run. 9.53, 14.10 (walking mostly), 9.51, 10.02, 16.10. (1:00.19 total)
more running/walking. I only ran about 3 miles of it. It took me 1:21.41. I'm trying to stay positive, but it is so hard to run. I hope that if I just keep doing what I'm doing I can build up and it will get easier. I also did 20 min. spin (got there late) and I'm need to do weights still, but my legs are tired and I need to get some things done, so, we'll see.
I really picked it up at the end, probably the last 1/4 mile or so and was running much faster, I just need to be able to sustain it. It's a lot easier for Marshall when I run at a faster pace.
9.06, 10.34 (run/walk uphill), 13.48, (run/walk uphill), then the GPS watch died so I don't know how fast I went on the others, but we walked the last 1/4 mile home to cool down.
