I did worse than I have done recently in running and recently i ran more than 3.1 miles but then I just took my 3.1 mile split into consideration.

there were 3000 people registerred. i guess some didn't show up or didn't finish.

my shins hurt after 6 min. i don't understand my shins. :(

i'm so mad i reset my timer while running. so i quit.
it was right at the lap and i was hitting lap
and i have no idea how many laps i did. at least 10.
i'm so mad
i want data points for my graph.
it's almost like i have to run again now.

(someone may recognize the above from an email i typed)

then my trouble with trying to remember my splits is this

once i did my warmup i looked at my timer after 100m and calculated in my head what my lap time woudl be. then at 200 i noted if i did better than the pace for the first 100 (which i did every time) and then i calculated my new lap time. then at 300 i checked to see if i was on or ahead of pace for what i calculated at the 200 and then at 400 i hit lap and looked at my time. now every time i beat my projected times. but all those numbers in my head make it hard for me to figure out how many laps i ran and also what my actual splits were.
it was my best set of splits ever.
i'm so mad
so mad
it's almost like i need to go run again to get more times.

wondering if i should run today since i only ran 3 days this week. it's way too hot in this house so it discourages me from doing anything.

sigh

I'm following my workout plan horribly. i followed it 4 days out of 11. Yesterday I was even noticing progress.
Tomorrow I won't be following it either. No time to lift and run.

My stomach still feels super weird from eating 10 cookies from DiBella's. Those are some good cookies though. I've stopped wanting more and when I think about them I just want to throw up even more.

Today someone told me it looked like I lost 15 lbs. I didn't. Maybe she's saying i was fat before. or as timmy put it he said that i was just fatter before. i didn't lose 15. i lost 1 maybe. or depends how far back you go.

I need to plan out my day for tomorrow to see what time I have to wake up to run. Tomorrow is to be 3 miles (or 2 if i cheat and use the easy plan). but i skipped intervals today. but intervals are my favorite. but intervals before work would stress me out since i don't know how to time everything that way.

Tomorrow is the NA-YGN picnic. I probably should go early and stay late since I'm an officer.

I feel like just going to sleep right now. I was asleep last night by this time.

running today

nobody will care but i'll post it anyway

today i ran 5 miles
well i ran 7500 and walked 500 (aka walked a little over 1/4 mile spread out)

my mile splits were
9:02
9:41
10:14
10:50
11:28

all the walking was in the last 2 miles.
overall pace was 2:34 for a lap (1/4 mile)
I stretched after 3 laps. normally i stretch after 2 but figured it was such a long run that the little break of stretching would be nice further into it.

It's the first time I ever ran 5 miles

I think i walked extra at the end when I didn't need to and then the last lap was a little slower for a cool down. plus my arms were all tingly the past 2 laps.
then i went to stretch but when i did some of the stretches i'd black out (like bending down to touch my toes) so i stopped that. and didn't stretch.
came home and got water. walked upstairs and had to rest on the floor in the middle of when I was telling pb about my run.

I was done running around 11. only drank about 2 oz of water so far.

i'm also stupid and forgot sunscreen. we'll see how burnt i get. I was probably out there for about an hour. well a little less. ran in less than 52 min. probably took 2 min to stretch. and then drank sips of water twice but that didn't add much time. i wish i could tan. man my legs are so pale. it's almost disgusting.

in 2 weeks i'll be running a 5k downtown. I want a 9:30 mile pace for that. don't know if i can get that. probably based on todays number though. most promisiting so far. last 5k was about 10 min mile pace. today my 5k split was 30:02.

I have been using my dell more and now most of my desk is messy instead of just half of it. my vacation is over. i didn't get anything done around the house. i didn't do anything fun. it was too hot to leave the house. today we tired and that sucked. the only thing that seemed productive to me was getting some running in. i keep thinking I should be productive.
i got sunburnt 3 times so far on my "vacation" yet the most I was outside was 40 minutes.

UGH time flies. I still have so much to do.

today

So far it's 8:55. I slept in until 8:30. I was in the middle of dreaming about how i was having a stampin' up party that I didn't prep.
My shins hurt so bad. Front shins instead of side shins. I don't understand it at all.
At least today is rest day.
Did I do too much running? I even did an extra cross train day so that I wouldn't kill my shins.

Then i sit here and try to get pictures from my iphone to picasa and that isn't working.
already feels like such a bad day.

also certain people I email ignore my emails and yet i keep emailing them and getting all mad about it.

i ran 3 days in a row. time to take some time off for these shins. but time not to take time off because i need to train for a 10k and the shortest training programs i saw were 8 weeks and i only have 7.

i went to the track this morning
it was 9am
i should have gotten up earlier and got a move on leave ealrier. it was so hot. the sun was beating down on me. it was pretty humid.

i did 3 miles today. my shins hurt a little after 2. my shins hurt worse when i'm on the recovering job/bounce lap and they hurt the worst then after i was done and i was walking. so if I can just keep running I should be good.

i need endurance back.
i had a baby stomach cramp for more than half of my run today.
http://twitpic.com/d5gw8

i was going to turn tonight but i took a little nap and that nap lasted until after it was dark. ugh. i wanted to run yesterday and that didn't happen. i guess i will have to use the exercise boke tonight
that's just so boring.
i want my endurance back.

pb hacked me into staying up too late last night. he always goes to sleep first and goes to sleep early. so i kept doing stuff until finally i noticed it was an hour past our bed time.
i'm so tired.

ha

i guess i was in hate so much that i didn't realize i made that nice short post after i returned. so then i complained again.

UGH

my run sucked. i hate my shins. and now i'm getting more and more out of shape. did 2.25 miles. wanted to do 3 or 4.
it was way too humid os maybe that's why my times sucked. or why i did my 9th lap as a bob instead of running full out.
but i guess i was hitting my targets (almost) of 2:30 laps. i actually did 15 sec better on the first 3 so i slowed up but then i couldn't go faster if i wanted to.
my face was a very nice shade of red when I was done.

i only made it 9 laps today before the shins hurt
i hate this
