Champion!

Guys I ran FOUR MILES yesterday! Four! More than three, less than five, FOUR! This is the second time I've done that many miles, but I did it FASTER this time! Not by a lot, but by enough. When I first did it, back about almost exactly two months ago in May, I did 4.06 miles, in 50:54, with an average speed of 12'31" per mile.

Yesterday, it was 4.07 miles in 48:36 and my average speed was 11'55" a mile. BOOYAH!

Also, I love my Nike+ app, it gives me little badges whenever I break a record! I broke three yesterday! It's like I'm at the Olympics or something!

But I felt really good about it, because I pushed myself really hard. Normally, this is how I run: I do one lap (1/10th of a mile) around the track walking to warm up, then I run for a mile. Then I walk a lap, then do 3 running laps, and repeat that pattern till I'm done. This time, I started the same with one walking lap and one mile running, and then kept up that pattern, of one walking lap and then running till I hit the next mile! IT WAS CRAZY. The thing I noticed most was that I was thirsty, so I think I just need to hydrate better beforehand.

So that's all. I am very excited that I did so great. Excited to keep going.

Little post

Woo! Two whole weeks! I have been running and working out constantly, 3 times a week, and I am feeling great. I have lost 2 pounds, which isn't a lot, but it's a start, and I can feel my muscles getting stronger and woo. Today began the third week so I decided to up my weights by 5lbs each! Yay for building!

Anyway, today was not my best run, I felt a little like I wasn't breathing totally right, and so it made me a little slow. But I got through it, and I feel really good about it.

So really that's about it. THE END GOING STRONG.

Running again!

Oh hey there running blog! I'm so sorry I've abandoned you for so long! I really didn't mean to except STUFF HAPPENED. But here's the good news. I ran all through May! Woo! I got a monthly pass to my rec center and was keeping up with Galloway's training program like I said I would, and I even ran FOUR MILES all at once! Go me!

 

But then at the end of May, I had to go to Florida with my sister to help her move for the summer, and then spent a week at Disney World, so there was no running then. After I got back, it was a lot moving grandmothers around and helping them recooperate (which I'm not sure is a word, but my mom uses it), and then we went to DISNEYLAND for the opening of Cars Land which was awesome. And then another week or so went by and really my only excuse for not running then was because I was BROKE because DISNEY MAKES ME WANT TO THROW ALL MY MONEY IN ITS FACE. 

Speaking of throwing money at Disney, I threw them $160 so that I could sign up for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon! Yay! So I'm officially signed up. And gonna do it!

But anyway, then I went to Disney World AGAIN, but now I'm back and have been running again ever since getting back! GO me! I have run since last Thursday, three times a week again, and am about to go to run right now. Just thought I'd update you first. Today my goal is 3 miles, so we'll see how long that takes. I did 2.5 on Thursday and it was about 30 minutes, so I'm guessing around 40 some. And then my work out.

Actually I better go like NOW since they close early today cuz it's Sunday. OFF I GO!
