3 miles..

Today I ran 3 miles...I felt great no soreness...the rest from the 8 miles on Saturday really did me some good...

NO RUNNING TODAY

DID THE EXERCISE BIKE

REST DAY!!!!

A MUCH NEEDED REST DAY!!!!! THANK YOU JEHOVAH

HOT DAMN!!!! 8MILES

Today I ran 8 miles. Well we ran 8 miles I'm still running with my husband. That was the most mental run I've had since I began running. When we first began I was not sure I could do it and honestly that run never became easy. It was a struggle from beginning to end. But We are only doing long runs twice a week if I can. Funny thing is I still don't feel or look like a runner but I am.

BAD!!!!!!DAY

Today really sucked..I got dressed to go running..went out to the lake..and was so unmotivated..I just couldn't get up the energy to run..Then I came home and tried to do the stationary bike..and didn't have the energy for that either..The last time I felt so sluggish..My body was telling me it's time for a rest day..so hopefully tomorrow..I can log in one of my LONG RUNS..

CROSS X TRAINING....

Today I ran 2 miles...and rode the stationary bike 4 miles...I feel so awesome...I definitely have lost some weight because my hips would hurt so bad after sitting on that stationary bike for 1 mile..and I stayed on it for 4 miles..with no pain no problems..I discovered I could enjoy my stationary bike yesterday..It has been in my kitchen corner for months..and sometimes the kids may jump on it..or my husband..well yesterday I was talking to my son about some school events..and got on the bike to just sit and listen..and the longer I sat on the bike..I realize that I felt no pain..So I put on my MP3 player and rode for 1 mile and felt great..Now the bike has been added to my exercising plan..Watch out pounds because here I come.

CLOSE TO 6 MILES

Today I had a nice run..I ran over 5 1/2 miles very close to 6 miles..I started running at 4:46AM AND ENDED AT 6:10AM..It was a very nice run..I started off at a comfortable pace..ran fast in between..and ended quite nicely...I'm becoming more fit I can feel it..I was not breathing hard..It was so Awesome..I really want to do this half Marathon in San Francisco in April..I really hope Winter time doesn't slow me down..If I make it through the Fall..I'm going on the way.. I was wearing a Yoga Jacket..that use to fit very snug now it's loose.

3 miles today..

I ran a quick 3 miles today..I didn't take my watch or my phone..I just ran 3 miles....I didn't push myself...I just really enjoyed the run..

Unexpected Rest Day

Today SUCKEDD!!!! my 4year old popped up again..just as we were leaving out for our morning run...Right now I'm very tense and frustrated...My exercising really gets me ready for my Stressful day of Homeschooling my Autistic 8 year old...and preparing my 4 year old for Kindergarten...Sometimes I feel like giving up and just eating everything....How damn early do I need to wake up to have a few moments without the kids..I'm already getting up at 4am I can't get up any earlier..FRUSTRATED!!!!!!

3 1/2 miles

Today I ran 3 and a half miles. I started off dragging feeling slow but soon felt a lot better. I probably should have rested today but I really want to lose weight so badly. Still struggling with eating right.

4 miles...

Today was a good 4 mile run..no hills all flat...I loved it..I will definitely include that route in my weekly runs more than once...The energy boost I needed to recharge my love of running..

3 miles

Today I ran 3 miles in 44 minutes...I felt really sluggish..but I'm getting faster..

5 miles

Today I ran 5 miles..5 long slow, difficult Miles..I'm on a fast track  with losing my motivation for Running..I really wish I could get better results faster so I can stay motivated..Today I struggled to run 5 miles when a couple of weeks ago..I would have been so excited and pumped..to run 5 miles..I will definitely revist my running magazines so I can look at all those fit runners and hoped one day that I represent the sport of running the same way instead of the STRUGGLING PART OF RUNNING..

3 MILES

Today I ran 3 miles  at my neighborhood track..It was mentally hard because 4 times around the track is a mile...I had to countdown backwards..to stay motivated going around that small track..my husband didn't like it all but the up side is that we saved gas...walked out of our front door and walked down the street to the track..I got to find a way to like that because it's super convenient

Very short run

Today I only ran 1 mile. Easing my way back in. This time I will train more careful. Tomorrow hopefully will be a nice LSD run of about 3 or more miles. No more 7 mile runs for a long time

I'M BACK...

Yesterday was Sunday and I took a much needed rest day..I didn't visit my blog site..I didn't even take a shower until 9pm..I was so Drained from Saturday's 7 mile run..I probably won't try that again..until I'm completely under 200 pounds..but today.My daughter woke up at 3:30 am and didn't go back to sleep..I waited until 4:30am before I got dressed in my workout clothes thinking she would be so sleep by then and she wasn't..So For the second time since we started running we had to take her with us..So we just walked 5 miles..BETTER THAN NOTHING

LONGEST RUN!!!!!

Today the second day of my period, which is usually my worst period day..I ran 7 miles..by accident..We sat out to do our usual long 5 MILE RUN on Saturday..but when I started I ran extremely slow..So my Energy was well preserved..so on our way back from Cherry Park to the Winthrop Coliseum where we park our car..we kept running past the car and ran around the Winthrop Coliseum and then around Winthrop Lake..I'm so tired..I didn't tell my husband but after that run I felt like Vomiting..so it will definitely be a long time before I push myself that hard again..

JUST A RUN....

Today was the first day of my period and I seem a little slow moving..so I decided to just run instead of focus on a particular distance..but the run lasted from 4:56 to 6:00...It was slow but It was productive..oh I saw an owl just morning..

BEST RUN !!!!!!!

Today was my best run in a long time..I wasn't sore or fatigue...NICE PACE FASTER THAN USUAL..I  ran from 4:56am until 6:03am...it was great...my husband and I had great conversation..usually by the end of the run I'm too tired to conversate..but today I WAS CHATTING AWAY..controlling my breathing..in control of MY RUN!!!!!!!

4.5 miles

Today I ran 4.5 miles..the first Mile was extremely slow and the last mile was a good steady pace..I'm really starting to feel unmotivated..I  want to see some significant weight loss...or I might stop and try something else...I know that will disappoint my husband because he loves running..I think I do sometimes but it would really help if I actually looked like someone who runs 3 or more miles a day....

BABY DRAMA...

Today I didn't run...because my daughter pulled another early rising...which I have to admit I really didn't mind because my legs still felt a little sore..not much but enough for a good rest day to highly benefit my muscles...and allow for some much needed muscle repair..But we strapped her in her stroller and walked for 50minutes..Strangest thing happened today..there's a man that see my husband and I every morning..running and has seen us every morning for over a month..He has never said hello...One time I made the mistake of speaking to him and he didn't say a word..and I promised myself to never speak to him again..but today when we were walking and pushing my daughter in the stroller..he said good morning..ODD!!! anyway needless to say my daughter ruined my run..saved my muscles..and gave the stranger a face...but tomorrow I'm going to run a LSDR...long slow distance run..

SNAIL SLOW....

Today it took me 1 hour to run 3.5 miles...I was sore from yesterday and my back hurt a little...which probably meant today should have been a rest day..but I'm afraid if I take too many rest days..I might stop and never start back..Even though this time that may be highly unlikely..it's always in the back of my mind... I want to get HEALTY..NOT JUST LOSE WEIGHT..

6.5 MILES....WHAT REALLY !!!!! 6.5 MILES..

Today I really showed my RUNNING ABILITY...MY OVER 200 POUND BODY ran 6.5 miles..I literally ran a  10k plus some change...I can't believe it...the first 4 miles were very easy..slow steady pace..and the last 2 miles.... was defintely a slow struggle but I did it..I never stop once..My husband finally met his mileage match..because usually when we're running he's always so comfortable perfect form..hardly panting..but today I saw him taking it extra easy on the hills and slowing down when I slowed down..but he's still an Awesome running buddy..  We ran for 1 hr 48 minutes..so close to 15 minute Miles which is slow but that's okay..I'm PROUD ANYWAY..

REST DAY...

Today was an unplanned rest day...my husband and I had every intention on running..but My daughter woke up at 5am...we thought since it was the weekend we could just get up at 5am instead of 4am like we usually do during the week..but she got up and my 16 year old was sound asleep..so it would have been like leaving my 4 year at home alone..so we stayed in...I feel so defeated..I just want to run everyday..that my body feels like. it..Now I know I'm going to have a bad day..

VERY RELAXING....3 MILES

Today was a  really good run...I ran from 4:54am until 5:48am an easy 3 miles...coming off of that 5.5 miles yesterday,  I thought I would be sore and very unmotivated..but I was not sore.. even though getting out of bed was a bit challenging today..because it was so hot..but once I got moving I was ready to put another running day..under my belt... Now tomorrow I think I'm going to try and push another 5 miles out of me some kind of way..I'm so determined..I really want to stay this way..for once in a long time I'm totally FOCUSED ON GETTING HEALTHY..STILL HAVE A BIT OF A SWEET TOOTH..

5.5 MILES.....

Today Marks the 30th day of my running...I can't believe it's been thirty days already...Well anyway I ran my longest run today..5 and 1/2 miles...it's was a slow start...and a slow middle...I really didn't feel a boost of energy until my last mile...I can't wait unitl running becomes easier...all the way through..I ran for 1 hour 26minutes..last Saturday when I first ran 5 miles I ran in 1 hour 24 minutes..so I'm definetly getting faster..I STILL NEED TO LOSE THE WEIGHT...

2 MILE EASY RUN!!!

Getting ready for a very long run Saturday...We did a moderate pace 2 mile run..I'm feeling good..I'm ignoring phone calls of people who annoy me..especially the HOMEWRECKER. I'm so focused on myself..2 MILES..today I'm going for 4 miles tomorrow..

1 HOUR....RUN

Today I ran for an hour...I ran over 3 miles...It was a rough run..I felt really tired...maybe it was the humidity...I just don't know..I got up feeling really good...thinking that I would surprise myself and run 5 miles..but I could only do 3 1/2...well anyway another running day down.

SHORT AND EASY!!!!

Today was an easy run...I only ran 2 miles...still trying to take it easy after that 5 mile run Saturday..I can't believe that a 2 mile run is considered my easy run...I'm telling you I have really come a long way...I didn't feel like running today..I thought I was going to either rest or walk today..but when I started moving around in my house getting dress...I started feeling like I had to do it...Now I'm motivation to my friends...I checked my phone and saw I had a message from a friend last night asking if I ran...that gave me the extra boost that I  needed and me and my husband headed out the door...OH YES!!!!! My wonderful Husband is still running with me...
