Mom on the Run

The wind has been super bad lately...such is rexburg. Yesterday I tried running and the wind was so strong I actually ran in place for a while. Today I went to the indoor track and I realized that i forgot my watch AND my ipod. So I just walked over to the fitness center and ran on a treadmill. It was so hard! I ran three miles in 28:25. It took a lot of positive self talk to make myself stay on for the full three miles, but I did it!

tried to make up for some of the miles I missed this week. kristina and i just went out and ran 2 miles. first mile was dowhill took 8:55.83. Mile back took 9:51.87, for a total of 18:47.70. Felt like an average run to me. That hill is a killer!

five miles. Trav came along on his bike. I had felt like I had to pee for quite a while, but I usually just hold it. Well, about mile 3.5, without ANY sort of warning, it all just came flooding out. it was pretty much equal to the feeling I had when my water broke. not very pleasant. I ran off course and starting laugh-crying. I stopped my blue watch, but we also took trav's garmin.  it was raining, snowing, super windy, and despite the little "accident"...I had a really good time. took it very easy. I really love when Trav comes with me.

Garmin timing:

mile 1 -9:07

mile 2- 9:53

mile 3- 10:01

mile 4- 10:14  (peeing mile...not bad for running off course and stopping for a bit!)

mile 5- 10:13

TOTAL TIME: 49:28.3

My blue watch:

mile 1:    8:52

mile 2:    9:52

mile 3:    10:02

mile 4:     9:36 (peeing mile. i stopped this watch when I ran off course)

mile 5:    10:13

TOTAL TIME: 48:37.71

ran to the roundabout. 3 miles. kristina came along on bike. I had a side ache, but I did pretty good.

mile 1: 8:57.91

mile 2: 9:08.12

mile 3: 9:14.82

total time: 27:20.85

ran four today. kristina came on bike. it was just a hard run altogether. I wanted to stop so many times. the times are a little iffy...i bushed the button late a few times. 

mile 1- 8:50.21

mile 2- 9:25.07

mile 3- 9:27.27

mile 4- 9:51.18

total: 37:33.73

the overall time is not bad, but I did not like how I felt. and there is definitely room for improvement in the timing.

wore my adidas because my new ones were cutting the back of my heel.

3 good miles. i felt good almost the whole time. the end of the hill was hard...as usual.

mile 1- 8:41.53

mile 2- 9:03.95 (had to stop to tie my shoe)

mile 3- 9:34.72

total:   27:20.20

six miles. 45 degrees. I wore shorts and a tshirt.

I wore my adidas because i still didn;'t want to risk cutting my ankle and having to stop during my long run.

Almost a mile into it I realized that I didn't have my ipod, but I still did okay.

It felt pretty good, besides my left pinky toe and my left knee started feeling uncomfortable, but I was able to run through it. hopefully taking tomorrow off will help.

I took trav's garmin and one mile and two miles is a little closer than I have been counting, so that is good.

mile 1- 8:46.5 (i tried to slow it down while going down the hill)

mile 2- 9:25.6

mile 3- 9:37.7

mile 4- 9:45.0

mile 5- 9:34.0

mile 6- 9:27.1

TOTAL-   56:37.1   (comparable to my bear lake 10k time)

Average mile- 9:25

ran three. trav got me a gps watch for mother's day so I used that. I should have followed a familiar route because there were too many turns and it tolled on my knees, i pushed the wrong button to stop it, so I don't have the exact times. I know it was around 28 minutes. i took ibuprofen and stretched. my knees feel fine today.

very bad run. was supposed to go 5 miles. my knees were hurting and then i got a super bad side ache. I have never had a side ache this bad. I tried to push through it. I had to walk just after 3.16 miles. Then I ran for a bit and then had to stop once again at 4 miles. It took me 42 minutes.

mile 1-   8:58.55

mile 2-   9:17

mile 3-    9:48 (walked)

mile 4-    11:22 (walked)

three miles plain city

knee started hurting about mile 2 (it always hurts between mile 2 and 3)

went with trav. I ended up having to walk.

mile 1- 9:15.63

mile 2- 9:52

mile 3- 10:45.44

total:   29:53.07

ran with my mom on the half marathon trail

knee hurt from mile three to the end. I walked a lot. it was frustrating.

at the end, my entire body was in so much pain and it started cramping up. not a fun run.

total: 1:14.33

mile1- 9:09.24

mile2- 9:27

mile 3- 10:30

mile4- 11:12

mile 5- 10:56

mile 6- 10:51

mile 7- 11:14

.09- 1:13.83

3 miles at the gym. i took it very slow. my knee didn't start hurting until i had half a lap left.

total time: 29:27.78

i think my watch lost the sattelite during this run.

i think i did this run in about 48 minutes.  my watch skipped ahead and said I had run more than I had.

I ran the whole way though. no walking. My knee hurt around mile 3 and the pain left around mile 4

8 today with travis. after mile two the knee started hurting. then the ankle. it is the most frustrating thing and I get super grumpy when this happens. I was seriously having like 12 minute miles when this was happening. Then the pain left a little before 5 miles. I sped up a little and I felt pretty good. The pain came back just a tiny bit on and off, but it wasn't anything that was bothering me too bad thankfully. I still had a super slow run. But at least I didn't walk. I ended up running it 1:23:56. So frustrating. Thats an average time of 10:30 per mile. Trav thinks that I should jog around a bit before my run, then stretch, then do my run. I think he may be on to something, because my body seems to work past my pain after about two miles. So it may need a warm up and some stretching. Hope it works.

mile 1: 9:19

mile 2:   9:57 (knee starting hurting near the end of this mile)

mile 3:   10:39   (really bad knee pain)

mile 4:  11:00    (really bad knee pain)

mile 5:   10:50 (felt good)

mile 6:   10:39  (felt good)

mile 7:   10:31  (felt good)

mile 8:   10:56  (on and off pain)

total:   1:23.56

ran to the gym and then stretched, hoping that would help my knee. it didn't. my knee started hurting close to three miles. frustrating. about 3 miles in 28:59.

Awesome run. My mom was up here and we went together. We talked the whole time and it kept my mind of running. My knee harldy had any pain. It was AWESOME! I hope it will stay this way!

I think my watch is off a little and measures a little short, so I have been running a little farther than my schedule says.

5.2 in 51:24.95

Mile 1- 9:22

Mile 2- 9:38

Mile 3- 9:56

Mile 4- 10:11

Mile 5- 10:13

my knee just starts hurting when my run is done and I start walking. and then it hurts during the day....but as long as it doesn't hurt during my run I will be okay! I just need to pull this off for two more months! then on to a different form of exercise!
