W2D2

I made it through another day....too bad I forgot to hit start on my Nike+. I really tried to pick up the pace and I was excited to see how much progress I have made. Oh well....I'll have to wait until Friday's run.

W2D1 is done~woohoo~

Today I ran 2.21 km at 5:53 PM with a pace of 13'23"/km.
It was a struggle, but I managed to make it through the extended runs. I REALLY enjoyed the longer rests though. I love my new shoes, but my shins were hurting today...maybe my socks were too thick or my shoes were tied too tight? Looking forward to Wednesday's run already. But, boy am I starving! Off to find some din din.

It's Official

I have now ran and roller bladed more than I ever did in my "old life". I love my new life! It was only a few times up and down the street, but it was a success. I didn't hit the pavement and considering how uncoordinated I am ~ that is a good start! I had my mom hold my hand for some of the jaunts and dad for the others. What a funny feeling really...it was like when you are five years old learning to ride a bike. Tomorrow I will surely put on a lot of miles, but different miles ~ I am going to shop until I drop in the States. I sure hope I find the dress I need for the wedding.

W1D3 complete...woohoo

It was a bit of a struggle to get there....and cranky Maureen certainly didn't help. I managed to get my first run in on the treadmill. I wore my "fave" running shoes, which are now solely for fashion purposes. My feet/ankles were killing me! I can't wait to buy my new shoes on Friday. Today I covered 3.33 KM in 31:02. My pace was 9'17" per kilometer. I burnt 266 calories.

Uh oh...this was a running day!

And it didn't happen. I reactivated my membership for the Y, so I hope I get there tomorrow! I was thinking it might be nice to try running on the treadmill. It will sure be nice not to have to contend with the weather. Maybe it will seem faster with a tv? LOL We will see!

This day did not go as planned

No run today. That's okay though. I will not be discouraged. The day just seemed to go all to heck....a few wrenches thrown in and I ran out of time. I plan to run earlier tomorrow so that I won't miss out again. My plan is to run on my own early in the day and then try out my roller blades at night. Here's to the plan! :)

Day two complete

It was a windy day in the park, but still fun. We ran the track in Mitch's Park. It brought back lots of memories of running cross country there as a VERY young girl. I have to learn to relax my upper body. I have a killer sore arm. WHO ELSE would get a sore ARM from RUNNING? Today's results: ran 3.96 km on 10/4/2010 at 2:46 PM with a pace of 9'04"/km http://go.nike.com/tch6ck
