Again, not what I wanted

7 easy miles - 70:35 - 10:00 Pace

Took the run really slow today trying to get my 8-9 miles in. Legs and lungs felt good, I just ran out of energy. That hasn't happened on a slow run shorter that 15 miles...ever. Concerning...maybe. Disaterous...not at all. I'll get a short outdoor run in Saturday and be ready to get a longer run in next week.

I need a Sunday kind of run

4 easy miles - 37:33 - 9:23 pace

Waiting till Sunday to run cause my calves were feeling a little tight since my last run. Also ran on the treadmill for the same reason. They felt ok today, not great not awful. Everything else felt good.

Mornings are fun....sometimes

4 Easy miles - 37:50 - 9:27 Pace

Morning was a little tough on me today, body didn't want to cooperate. I got through the milage bit it wasn't encouraging milage. Calves were sore, knee was achy, I just have to face facts that neither of those is going away. Well, I'm traveling the rest if the week so I'll give the legs a little rest and hopefully a lot of sleeping.

8 Beautiful Miles

8 Easy Miles - 76:11 - 9:32 Pace

Long run today, 8 miles, bumped up the distance from the last long run. Felt really good, only problem was my foot started hurting on the bottom. Hopefully that's not creeping into my running now. We shall see Wednesday morning how it feels.

Sweatin Outdoors

4 Easy miles - 33:53 - 8:27 Pace

I always forget how much different it is running on hills. I made the 4 miles easier than I have lately, but still. One huge bonus is that my calves felt great, can't remember the last outdoor run I had where I wasn't worried they were gonna snap. Is it the stretching, the slow increase in miles, the inserts....while I am always looking for a silver bullet, I'm sure it's a combo of all of those. Either way it feels good

Picking up the Miles

6.5 Easy Miles - 60:30 - 9:19 Pace

Didn't think I would have too much in the tank today after all the activity I got in D.C., but I felt great. I had a few bruises from rafting bothering me, but not stopping me.

Long Run

6 Easy Miles - 59:15 - 9:53 Pace

Morning running, felt so so. Calves were brutally tight but felt ok while running. Shoulders were killing from P90X the night before and I hadn't eaten anything. But I made it through.

Outdoor Run

3.25 Easy miles - 28:31 - 8:46 Pace
0.25 Walking miles
0.50 Easy Miles - 4:12 - 8:24 Pace

First outide run in months, 4 or 5 actually and my body was not ready...yikes. Lungs were struggling, legs were struggling on the hills. All in all good, but I have a lot of work to do.

Also noticed that I was running on the outside of my feet in the beginning which is exactly what my new inserts are designed to prevent. I am thinking I picked up that nasty habit after hurting my knee to keep the presure off of it. It was easy to correct but I had to concetrate on it or I resorted back to the old bad was that puts all the stress on my calves. Hopefully I can relearn how to run properly.

Long Run

6 Easy Miles - 61:00 - 9:10 Pace

This was a pretty good run after work, legs felt really good

Quick Footed

5 Easy Miles - 47:03 - 9:25 Pace

Little faster this morning, felt good though. I think these new inserts are really helping, my claves feel much less taxed than usual.

Morning Running is Tough with no Sleep

5 Easy Miles - 48:03 - 9:33 Pace

Waking up is heard to do, but I love getting morning miles in. Think I need to get my Scrubs DVD's back from the Schoonies to watch for these am runs.

Sricking with the 5 Miles

5 Easy Miles - 48:30 - 9:37 Pace

Stepping UP

5 Easy Miles - 48:33 - 9:43 Pace

Felt good this morning, popped in Blade 2 and had at it. I thing I could have done 6 today....but trying not to push it.

Another Week

4 Easy Miles - 38:30 - 9:38 Pace

Morning running actually feels good, I thought I woudl hate it. I have just been putting in movies (Blade) and going at it. I am a little sweaty when getting out of the shower if I am in a hurry though.

Legs are....ok

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Progress

4 Easy Miles - 40:00 - 10:00 Pace

Another easy run today, this time at night. Feels ok, knee is actually bothering me more that my calves.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Give it another try

3 Easy Miles - 31:00 - 10:33 Pace

Easy run on my new treadmill today while watching the opening fight scene from Blade. Legs felt ok, calves we tight as always. I was conscious of my ankle rolling in before push-off though....hopefully that will make a difference.

Doc has not approved me running until I get my new orthopedics...but that's 3 weeks away, so I am going to start with some easy runs and see how I feel.
