Yesterday: I ran 3.4 miles in about 34 minutes. 10 min miles is basically my normal non-race pace. I would like that to be faster but this is my first week really running outside that I just let my body feel comfortable and enjoyed the run.
Today: I got home after a LONG day at work and was so not in the mood to run. So I did what I normally do, I took a nap. It was really gross out and my motivation was lacking. So I took a nap until 6:30ish. Then I watched Law and Order and then somehow I decided I should just go to the gym and get 3 miles done on the treadmill. I love the treadmill! I'm actually in pretty good shape so 3 miles isn't hard. I'm nervous though when my motivation is lacking on long runs. I got myself out of bed because I knew it would just be 30ish minutes. I love running but only when I'm in the mood to run. Hopefully I can work through that.
Here's the results of my treadmill run. Not fast but thats ok. It was on a .5 incline (not big).
Thoughts: This week is going well so far. 2 outdoor runs and one treadmill run. This weekend I'll do cross and a 6 mile run (hopefully outside but I hate gross weather). At work we've been eating like crazy. We had 3 catered lunches this week! I've gained 4 pounds in the last week so I really wanted to run and go to the gym more but I'm sticking to my training plan so I build up to long runs and don't hurt myself. I'm seeing a nutritionist in June so hopefully I can get my diet in check to run a marathon.
I'm going to the outlets this weekend to buy new running clothes!!!!!!!! and my second pair of running shoes should be coming in the mail soon. I've been wearing Mizuno Wave Riders for years. I bought a pair of Wave Rider 14s 2 months ago and LOVE them! So I ordered another pair so I can alternate shoes.
