2011/10/17 - Monday night lights

Had a bad night of sleep, so didn't get up and run this morning. Got home from work and got some things done around the house before deciding to head down and get my work out in. Got to the school to find a football game being played, so the track was not available. Turned around and went home after thinking about doing some street running. Problem was I didn't have my vest or my lamp, and just knew that somehow I would injure myself.

0.25 Miles 10'15" warm up
0.19 Miles 8'36" pace

Curse you D&T

2011/10/14 - Running Sucks

Did a total of 1 Mile today. 256.5 pounds.

0.25 Miles at 10'40" pace warm up

stretch

0.25 Miles at 7'37" pace

rest

0.25 Miles at 7'40" pace (paused in the middle)

rest

0.25 Miles at 13'33" pace cooldown back to home

My knees still aren't liking the pounding. Not too concerned about the jump in weight. Since joining Nike I have gone on a couple weight loss sprees, and during every one of them there was an upswing once I switched to eating 6 smaller meals a day followed by some precipitous droppage.

Curse you T and D!

2011/10/12 Getting back in the groove

Getting geared back up to run the Newport Marathon 6/2/12. Wanting to focus on speed. Did a total of 1 Mile today.

0.31 Miles at 13'19" pace warm up
stretch
0.24 Miles at 7'53" pace
rest
0.24 Miles at 7'47" pace (paused break in the middle)
rest
0.27 Miles at 11'54" pace cooldown back to home

My knees aren't liking the pounding. Stepped on the scale and was sad to see 252.3, which means I have put 20 pounds back on. :( Need to drop at least 50 pounds, would like to lose closer to 70. The plan right now is to eat better, run, and start swimming again.

My training schedule has me running MWFSat, so I will try swimming TTh.

Wish me luck.
