Just Got To Get Out There

I got up this morning, not really dreading my run but feeling lazy.  I knew that I did a little extra yesterday so I felt like I deserved another break.

Still I persevered and got myself out there.  I started my run and felt, just one.  But halfway through my first lap I got into the groove.   My second lap was noticeably faster than my second lap.

Time: 25:21:47

Point being, that you sometimes just got to get out there.   The first 10 minutes are the hardest.

Pretty good time despite apathy

I tried that noxplode drink before I ran this afternoon.

It was interesting in that my legs did push but my head was not in it.  In the end though, my 5k was alright.

Time: 36:55

Afterward I did another 1/2 lap and a walk and a 1/2 with my son.  Not bad.

Long distance running

I thought I was going to struggle on two Four Plus that I was running.  I actually did pretty well.  One of those days I dread going out, but the weather was nice, just got that lazy feeling.  Shook it all out after the first mile, and in the end, I was thinking I could do another lap.

Started 10:43:00

Lap 1: 48:22
Which is about an 11 minute 15 second mile.  Not bad  In fact there were two relatively long lights that hurt my time.

Lap 2 49:25
Which is about an 11 minute 30 second mile.  I didn’t think I was going to crack 50 minutes, but I did have a burst left in the end.

Final Time 12:21:53
Which means I ran 8.6 miles in 98 minutes 53 seconds w/ slight break making my pace 11 minutes 3 seconds.

Walk Lap 3 25:58.06
Nice slow cooldown walk.  I finished my entire workout at 12:49:17 meaning I was on the road for 2 hours 6 minutes 17 seconds.  For a grand total 9.7 miles at a 13 minute 1 second pace.  Although I think of it as unfair to include the cool down walk because that is what it supposed to do.  Bring you down safely.

Absolutely no worried about my weight at this stage.

Burned Out

I haven’t been sleeping well.  Hope that changes tonight.  Also need to get out early tomorrow, which means getting in early.

Something has to give.  Only 24 hours in the day.

Anyway, today was a rest day, got to walk with the kids around my 1 lap route.  The did one and I went ahead and ran 1 and walked one.

Feel slow, feel heavy, feel tired.

1000 in 1 hour

Today was my thousand calorie workout.  I rarely make 1000 calories in an hour (usually a few minutes over)  but I was able to do it all on a the treadmill without the cool down phase.   (Side note, there was an error on the treadmill that stopped the belt right after my hour run).  I did it at about 5.2 MPH and at first a low incline then pushed it.  I think this is the first time I did it.

After, I did do some arm workouts to make up for the Friday I missed my gym workout.  (Recall I ran 14 miles instead)

Still Sore

At least I ran 1 lap and walked 1.  Hopefully I will regain full speed in a day or two more.

Weight is an anomaly, I am sure it is on the high end of what I usually weigh.
