Well this week did not go so well at all! I went out rnning on wednesday and i twisted my ankle and it hurt but yet i kept running on it. So the rest of the week i just rode the bike and iced it and tried to stay off of it. Then on saturday I ran the Thrill on the Hill and boy what a crazy run that was. I did not think that was going to be all up hill like that. I will say it was not much of a Thrill. Well that run was not so nice to my ankle and i kind of was very easy on it and it made my other leg hurt. But it feels like i pulled a bunch of muscles in it. It is really kind if weird. So it was not such a good week and this week it is still hurting so i really don;t know what to do. But this is what i did last week.

Monday: Ran a few miles outside i got a horrible side ache.

Tuesday: I ran about 4 mile on the tredmil

Wednesday: I ran 3 miles and twisted my ankle

Thursday: I took the day off 

Friday: i rode the bike

Saturday: I ran the Thrill on the Hill. It was very interesting but i am glad i did it

Sunday: i took the day off i was pretty sore.

Well right now i don’t think i am even close to being ready for the marathon and i am getting pretty nervous.  I just hope i can get more into shape and more ready for it this week.

This week went good i still have to work on running farther on sundays. But other then that i got a little bit of distance in the middle of the week. Finals are coming up so it is alot of work to fit everything in with all the homework i have been getting but I manage to fit it in. It kind of helps relax me and get my mind back on track. I saw Katie’s tapes on You Tube and i think that i should really start working on my core and my arms. It will probably help alot. Well this is what i ran

Monday: I ran a couple of miles easy on the tredmil.

Tuesday: I ran about 5 miles on the tredmil and i did the stridouts.

Wednesday: I enjoyed the nice warm day and ran on the boardwalk. It was gorgeous out!

Thursday: I ran 30 min on the tredmil about 3.5 miles

Friday: I took the day off and rode the bike.

Saturday: What an icky day. I drove home and didn’t get to run at all

Sunday: I got about 3 miles in.

so all in all i just have to start getting my longer runs in so i am use to the milage. I am running the thrill on the hill this weekend so i am looking forward to that. I was going to do the 10k but all i heard were bad things about that. So i am just doing the 5k. Hope to see some people there!

Well this week seems like it went alot better then the last couple of weeks. i have been feeling pretty good! I ran the Fitgers 5k in 27 mins. I wish i could have done it a little faster then that but i think i wore to many layers and i over heated a little bit. I had fun though and i am really looking forward to the half. I just love all the excitment and all the people watching! I wish i could find some more races before the Marathon but i don;t think i wil have the time to run any other ones.

My sleep patterns are getting better and i am getting to bed earlier then i was. I am starting to run farther a day and i am feeling really good. I have a goal to try and keep up with my dad during the marathon because i think that he would be very proud of me and we are both pretty competative so he would push me.

So this is what i ran this week

Monday: I took the day off and walked on the boardwalk. It was a very nice day.

Tuesday: I ran about 3 miles outside with a couple of hills.

Wednesday: I went home this day to Chisholm and had some stuff going on so i couldn’t run.

Thursday: I ran about 3 31/2 miles outside.

Friday: I ran about 3 to 4 miles with some more hills. (its kind of hard to escape hills in Duluth)

Saturday: I ran the 5k

Sunday: I took the day off

I am having fun training so far and the weeks are getting closer and closer. Before you know it the day will be here to actually run the race! 

Well what a week! It was all going good and then we got that storm and i felt guilty not running those couple of days. But it turned out to be a pretty nice day on saturday. This weekend is the Fitger’s race and i am pretty excited about it i have not ran a 5k for a long time. I did pretty much everything on the schedule i slipped a few times though. On Sunday i got hit with some kind of bug and was sick all morning but i am feeling better today. I just walked today and it felt good to be outside on such a nice day! Here is what i did this week

Monday: I ran 3 miles on the tredmil. Ifelt pretty good

Tuesday: I ran about 30 min on the tredmil and and i did 3×80% then i realized we were suppose to do it five times.

Wednesday: I ran 3 miles on the tredmil again

Thursday: I didn’t get off work Until late and i didn’t get to run

Friday: we got the storm but i did sit-ups

Saturday: I ran 4 miles and i am starting to realize the tredmil is getting pretty boring to run on.

Sunday: i got hit witht the flu! (yuck)

Well i feel like i am not progessing for some reason which it could be becaus i have not been feeling the best the past couple of weeks. i feel like i am doing something wrong and i need to be working harder. But i don’t know it could be me.

This week did not go as well as the others. I was really busy and not feeling to well so it was a pretty long week. There was one day where i ran outside and i really need to continue to run outside because i am use to running on the tredmil now and it is way different running outside compared to running on the tredmil. I have always had knee problems when i run. I had surgary on one of them and i was wondering if there is any way of strengthening them? I have noticed the more i run the better they are feeling but when i am done running they just throb and feel swollen. Sao any advice? This week i plan on really pushing myself because i didn’t do so good last week but this is what i did.

Monday: I took the day off.

Tuesday: I ran about 30 min on the tredmil easy.

Wednesday: I ran 3 miles on the trdmil at race pace speed.

Thursday: I took another day off. ( I wasn’t feeling to well)

Friday: I ran outside about 2 miles with some hills.

Saturday and Sunday: I didn’t run

So this was a really bad week as you can see but i think my body needed a little break. I am back on the schedule now and going to work hard this week.

Hello All,

Well this week went good again! I am stating to feel better and in better shape! It actually is starting to become a habbit and i am so glad that it is getting warmer out so that i can run outside and not on the tredmil. I still have not tested my heart rate yet so i have to get on that. My sleeping habbits are still not very good but i am trying to get to bed earlier. I think i need some advice on my diet and what to eat, so this is what i eat usually:

I wake up and i have a bowl of cereal and then i usually don’t have lunch but i will like a quaker bar or something a little bit after i get done with school and then i will go and do my running. Then when i am done with that i will eat a meal like chicken and rice or a hamburger and green beans and then i will have an apple for a snack i cahnge it up with what i eat everyday but there is a idea of how i eat. On weekends i will eat a little bit more. And now i am going to start having protien after i run. is this an ok diet, should i be eating more or less? I need a little help. ha! so here is my run for the week:

Monday: I ran 3 miles because i din’t run on sunday. I ran on the tredmil

Tuesday: I ran 2 miles at a faster pace and that was on the tredmil too.

Wednesday: I ran for 45 mins and i did the stide outs for the last 15 mins.

Thursday: I ran the boardwalk and it felt very good to be outside it was sunny and pretty nice out.

Friday: I rode the bike for a half an hour and i did situps.

Saturday: I didn’t get time to run.

Sunday: i ran about 4 miles outside and it was nice out.

I am ready for week 3 and i can’t believe that we are already on that week. The marathon will be here before we know it!

Hi, Well this week was pretty good!

This was my schedule for the week:

Monday: Rode the bike for 30 min

Tuesday: Ran about 2 1/2 miles on the tredmil

Wednesday: Ran about 4 miles and i did the sprints on the tredmil

Thursday: Ran 3 miles on the tredmil

Friday: took the day off

Saturday: Ran 4 miles outside and it was a very nice day

Sunday: I took the day off because it is Easter but i will run tomorrow to make up for it.

I thought that i put alot of effort into it. I am really looking forward to running the Half and i want to do my best. Although, my training routes were not that hard i still tired. My sleeping habbits are not very good i stay up pretty late as you can see the time of my post here. I think i ate fairly healthy this week but today (Sunday) i ate alot of chocolate and candy. Thats all i have for this week!
