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.
