Mom on the Run

supposed to run 30 minutes, 3.2727... miles. 18 Laps in 30:27. Averaged 9:18 min miles.

mile 1- 9:04

mile 2- 9:28

mile 3- 9:20

I felt pretty good. Not very much soreness. I felt like I was breathing super heavy. I am trying to eat better so that my body can feel a little more healthy. I just gotta keep working on it and get in shape. I am okay with my time. I just keep wishing I was faster and I know that it comes slowly with a lot of work. I stretched well afterwards and I feel pretty good. I am tired. Trav and I gotta work something else out as my mileage increases because I will need to run outside and I don't want to run at night, but he trains in the mornings. Maybe during the baby's second nap.

30 min running day. 18 laps. again. total time 30:58.  that is a 9:28 mile. slower than the last few times. my left knee was sore earlier today, but it didn't act up during the run. felt so slow today.

Ran in PC right when we got there. I always love how flat it is. I ran for 30 minutes. My run was about 3.25 miles. 30:05.  Averaging about 9:15 min miles. The wind hurt my ears. I am coming to realize that the first ten minutes of my run are the hardest to get past. Luckily I ran 15 minutes out, so then I just had to turn around and run back. It was a fairly good run. My favorite part was seeing my husband and baby waiting outside to cheer me to my "finish line:"

Ran 4 miles in PC. I ran along a busy road and I did NOT like it. I felt so tired the wholoe time, but had to run in the morning because it was my sister's wedding day.

I was able to use the mile markers to time each mile.

mile 1- 9:02.97

mile 2- 9:42.83

mile3- 9:41.54

mile 4- 9:56.66

Total- 38:24

This was NOT a feel good run, but I did it and I am proud of my first four miles in two years!

My mom and I went running in Layton, but she got sick. We ran about half a mile and then walked back. Trav felt bad for me and went with me later that night. We went about 2.5 miles. I am not sure how fast we went because I forgot to time it. I DID run up the hill on Antelope which is saying a lot. Trav kept thinking that I was pushing it too hard, so I think we were going faster than usual. I enjoyed the run. Running with my husband makes it feel so much easier.

Went running with my mom. This time I was the one that had to stop! At about .75 miles I had to stop. I would hardly count this as a run.

Ran late in PC. Trav felt bad for me because it was so late and didn't want me to go by myself, so he went with me. It felt so good and so easy. I don't know why it feels so much easier to run with him. Maybe I go slower because I like to carry on a conversation. He is the best husband ever. We ran it in 38:22.  9:36 min miles. Good run. I slacked the rest of the week. My shins have felt a little sore.

I had a GREAT run today. I don't know what got into me. I ran on the track. The first ten minutes were hard as usual, but I was going fast. It was my fastest pace for 3 miles. EVER.

Mile 1- 8:19

Mile 2- 8:49

Mile 3- 8:37

Total- 25:45

Average mile- 8:35  YESSS!

knees are a little sore.

Ran three miles today on the track. Took longer than Monday but was still fast...for me :)

I averaged 8 min. 52 sec miles. Total time was 26:36

I tried to take shorter strides to prevent injury. I feel like it makes me go slower though, so I am not sure how I feel about it. I have been eating a TINY bit healthier. Maybe that is helping a little. I took ibuprofen Monday night for the knee soreness and I think I will probably be taking some tonight too.

Tonight again, I just had to get past the first ten minutes and then I was like, I can do this! Easy! Just gotta get past that first mile!

met my sister at the track and ran 3 miles. she has a bad knee so we went a little slower. I didn't mind taking it easy since I pushed it a little in my alst two runs.

28:28 was our total time. that's about a 9:30 mile. I felt pretty good. didn't feel like giving up at all. saturday is four. I plan to run outside depending on the weather. I am nervous about finding a place without a million hills.

I ran today with my sister. 4 miles. She wanted to run on main street. It wasn't a good route. There were tons of stop lights and I think they were red almost every time. I took travs garmin, so luckily I could just turn when a light was red and keep running and it kept track. My sister has a bad back and knee, so I think that may have slowed me down a bit as well as talking too much. oh well, I got it done. even though I don't like how slow it is.

38:43

avg mile 9:40

3 miles- 26:06 min. indoor track.

8:42 min miles.

I think the track is actually measured a little short because my runs outside take way longer.

felt good.

4 miles. outside. hard run. I don't like running in rexburg. I felt like I was going so slow, but I actually finished sooner than I thought I would. It was awful to run at this time of day (11:45). I think I may go at nights or mornings when Trav doesn't r

Three miles. New shoes. Ran with Kristina. Indoor track. I went a little farther than the 16.5 laps because I know the track is measured a little short for miles. It took me 26:35.

Average miles 8:52. Kristina ran first and last mile with me. I think my second mile was the fastest. Felt good.

five miles. I was nervous for this run. I used my old shoes. Right now they are more comfortable and they are lighter. I will wear the new shoes this next week to break them in some more and get used to them before I do longer runs.

Those first 10 minutes always are just hard for me to get past. I feel that I did well though and it finally started just feeling "easy". I am pleased with how the run went. I took Trav's garmin. If I could gaurantee I would be running for forever, I would buy one.

three miles. indoor track. I went a quarter more of the track since I think it is measured short.

I took off super fast at the beginning and a lot of my laps were under 1:30, which is unusual.

It was hard because I really tried to push it. Knee had a little bit of pain, but it wasn't bad.

total time was 26:34

Not as fast as I want, but I felt good about my run
