38.5 behind

but slowly gaining! (that's right, I'm looking at this as a "the mile is almost done" situation.)

Update: Fri 2/22 - ran for 34 minutes, no stopping. I'm calling it 2.5 (or at least, I'm pretty sure it wasn't 3.

Tues 2/26 - 2 miles. 24 minutes. 1 stop. very little whining. some cussing.
10 pushups. 10 crunches. 10 jumping jacks. boo. yah. grand. ma.

38.5 miles behind, but I'll get there. never you fear!

And this week...

2 on Tuesday
3 on Thursday
4 on Sunday

Sooooo thankful we've got a few more weeks before I have to cross that 5 mile threshold!

My Turn

Yeah? Well, I didn't run anything last week. Boo-yah. Beat that!

(yeah, I suck.)

Oh, and I was starting my week with Monday, but I don't care....we can start with Sunday, if you want.



(I'm gonna try tomorrow - see if my cough lets me. yay!)

Weekly confession

Only managed to do one 3-miler this week (we're starting our training week on Sunday, right? I am so confused. I think my brain is swelling from all the running.), but kept it at under 11 min pace. We won't discuss how slow I went up the hills, nor how much I relied on the wind at my back and the downhills to keep it at under 11 minute pace.

Ready for a hefty dose of TMI? After we were done, I pulled off my shoes and socks and left sweaty footprints in the parking lot. Am I classy or what?

Motivation, mental retardation

Ok, so I am having some trouble being motivated. Or, maybe not motivated - maybe it's just I'm having trouble finding a schedule for running. Last week I only managed to run on Tuesday (3 miles @14 minutes - sucky!). I want to keep to the schedule we have, but it's just not working out.
I know a few things about myself that are hindering my running progress.

1. I won't get up in the morning to run. I'll decided to "do it tonight instead".
2. I don't have time on Mondays because of rehearsal - and face it, I've gotta look good for Ga- I mean, rehearsal.
3. I don't like running on Fridays or Sundays. End of the week/end, I think. But, in the scheme of things, I will run on Sunday before Friday.
4. I need a swift kick in the butt.
5. If I don't do something about it now, I won't run in October.

So, here's the plan.

M: no running (no time!)
T: no running (stay late at work day)
W: running
R: running
F: no running (who runs on F?)
Sa: running
Su: running.

Do you think it will work? Here's hoping!
