To find my Mojo

6xhill workout.  went OK.  The last one really about killed me.

I had to run my 9 miles on the treadmill.  I was very happy with how easy it felt.  I am hoping this rain leaves so I can do my run outside tonight.

OK I really only ran 8, but I mowed the lawn before I left so I am counting that as 1 mile.  We have a BIG lawn.

As easy as my run felt yesterday I thought this run would go a lot better.  I really had a hard time.  The first three miles went by fast and felt good.  But then every mile was a struggle after that.  Towards the end of the last mile my knee started to hurt again.  I have ice on it right now...hope that helps.

Kathie wanted to go 19 with me today.  Deep down inside I knew this would be asking my body a little too much.  Before I had started my legs were tired from the 2 nine mile runs I had done during the week.  I knew it was going to be a long run when by mile 3 I was looking at my watch to see how much farther we had to go.  I remember on other long runs I would be into 9 or 10 miles and then start getting anxious for the run to be over.  By mile 13 I knew I was done, but finished the last mile by walking .1 and then running .5.  I hate that I am starting all over again.

4mile treadmill workout.  I hope I can get outside for some of my long runs this week

4 mile hill workout on the treadmill.  Then ran outside for 4.5 miles.  Raced McKenna while she rode her bike.  Since I am writing this I am going to tell you i won!!!!  I realize that 4 + 4.5 does not add up to 9, but I took the dog for a mile walk.  I figured it counted for a 1/2 mile run.  I felt pretty good, started to feel better with each run.

Dance orientation with McKenna tonight.  When WAY later than I thought it would.  Could only get a two mile treadmill run in.  I don't know what I am going to do when she starts back to school and dance.

Was suppose to do 10 tonight.  Planned on running like I did on Tuesday.  5 on the treadmill and then when it was cooler go 5 outside.  Got the treadmill run in just fine, but the last mile my knee started to hurt.  Had a hard time even walking up stairs.  Took the rest the night off, iced the knee and will see how Friday feels.  This year really has been a bad year for me.  I am hoping I can get this SGM behind me and look forward to a better, healthy next year.

Treadmill Run

have you ever had one of those runs when everything feel bad.  Well that was today, from the first step I didn't want to be there.  I told myself after 3 miles things would get better.  I made it three and then four.  At four I turned around and headed for home I wasn't feeling good.  Ran 8, went in the house and went back to bed.  Felt like it was a wasted run.

Treadmill run.  2 1/2 hills, 2 1/2 speed, 2 1/2 hills 2 1/2 speed  Felt OK, still filling upset I only ran 8 on saturday.

Treadmill run.  2 miles hill climb, the 4 mile treadmill program.  Having a hard time running outside, just too hot!!!
