WWS.

Well, my back is still kind of achy, but I made my way to the gym after work yesterday anyways. I'm just taking Excedrin to take the edge off. Yesterday was just a running day so I did a total of 30 minutes on the treadmill. I did my scheduled two miles in 20:34. Averaged at a 10:16 min/mile pace or something like that. Not too shabby. The whole run was a sort of Fartlek style run, I just went up or down with the speed as I saw fit.

I am registering for another 10K that is in October. It's at Sea World. I need to have more runs in my future to keep me up, running, motivated, and accountable. I'm probably going to look for some other races going on between now and then, as well.

Here's the plan for this week:

• Sunday - two mile run
• Monday - legs
• Tuesday - upper body, run 2.5 miles
• Wednesday - legs (might not happen, working late that night..)
• Thursday - upper body (if Wednesday doesn't happen, full body)
• Friday - Zumba
• Saturday - Body Pump

building momentum again.

I finally got off my ass and ran yesterday. Instead of doing my planned 4 miles, I swapped for my Thursday 3 miles for time. I had some friends in town so the shorter run was better. I did this run on the treadmill - three miles in 29 minutes. Not too shabby. No knee pain, no soreness today.

That's all I've really got for today.

i'll admit...

...this week wasn't the best. I overate and I missed my Thursday run. I'm really not going to stress, though. I picked right back up with my Saturday long run this morning. I did 3.5 miles in 37:24, averaging at a 10:41 min/mile. I ran this run on the treadmill at the gym. It was pretty boring, but I had to get it done. My first mile was at a 10:10 min pace, and the last two and a half I rotated between 11 minutes and 10:30 minutes. I definitely will be avoiding treadmills at all cost for these longer runs.

Now that I'm back home from the holiday break, I'm sure I'll be back in my normal routine. Unfortunately, I left my heart rate monitor watch at my parents' house. Hopefully they can send it to me pronto!
