So, I guess its time I start documenting my running....I have officially made it into the runners series for 2012!  WOO HOO!!  I am going to aim for quality training and racing over quantity.  I also want to be at my goal weight before I run the painters half in January.  Today was my first run after a very disheartening and discouraging marathon.  IT WAS SO SLOW!!!  I'm not even going to post my avg, but it felt so good to be out again!

 

yoga, ab and hip strengthening

I AM NOT READY FOR WINTER!!!!!!!  Ran outside in the cold rain.  I usually love the rain, but I am just not ready for the cold.  Started out super slow again.  I warmed up a lot faster today, but I was still focusing on arm drive and mid-foot strike.  I'm still not going to post my avg.  Somethings are just better left unsaid. :)  I am trying to take it easy to make a complete recovery from the marathon.

 

Pump Class-I was sweating like a pig, and humbled as always!

Tonight:  Core 1 workout and get more sleep!

Somehow I managed to run 8 miles on a treadmill at the gym.  I slowly increased the speed about every 5 min.  Still focusing on my form and mid foot strike.  My hamstrings were tight from the cross training I did yesterday.  After my run, I went to Lori's pump class and I don't think I will be able to walk for a few days!

Ran 5.3 nice and easy from my house.  I am so sore from head to toe!  I could barely move.  My legs seemed to loosen up after about 1.5 miles.  I am going to do some yoga today to try and stretch out!

 

Goal: Core 1 after yoga

Nice easy run.   Legs seem to warm up a little sooner now.  I changed things up a bit by adding a loop on pioneer crossing, down center, back up 700w, and turning on1700 S.  It was nice to run in a better lit area.

Met up with Andrea and ran a new loop that I really liked.  It was relatively flat with some slight rolling hills.  I definitely want to incorporate that run in the base that I am trying to get back into.

Ran the same loop I did on Tuesday.  Not bad, but I did forget a reflective vest...I am a dummy.  I am not nearly as sore as I was earlier this week, but my average pace is still slow.   I think I am recovering as fast as the economy!

It's so good to be back!  We had so much fun in Disneyland, and we were really sad to leave.  I completely rested from running through the whole trip.  Today I was just going by feel.  I ran the 2300 W loop.  It was nice and relaxed.  I am finally back into the 8's again. :)

 

Core 1, hip strengthening, yoga

Met with Julie and did the 2300 W loop.  I was SO grateful to have a running partner today.  It was really hard to get out of bed, and I was dreading the thought of running from my house again.  It was really fun to catch up.  The pace was 1 sec faster per mile.  I am slowly working back into my old pace. :)

Met up with a good friend and ran the Thanksgiving Point Loop.  It was so nice to go with someone!  My watch died before we even started running so mileage is an estimate.  It was really chilly and we had a head wind for the last 1.5 miles.  Ah, the joys of late fall/winter training.  Guess its time to invest in some more winter gear!
