Time: 41:41
Distance: 3.65
pace: 11:25 min/mile
consistent running is beginning to wear on my body. I have to make a concerted effort to stretch properly and eat good, wholesome foods to make it through. Next week is a recovery week though!

temp = 60 F
clothes = shorts and t-shirt!
distance: 5.37
time = 1:07:41
pace = 12:36 min/mile
Holy ridiculous wind, batman! In colorado, our very warm winter days are almost always accompanied with high winds, and I managed to go out for my run during the worst of them! Winds were 30 mph stead, with gusts to 45. I didn't think it would affect me that much, but when I had the full headwind, I couldn't even keep a running pace - I had to walk. I had the headwind on the way back, and I hasn't figured out why running was so hard - maybe i didn't have a good breakfast, maybe weights on thursday tired me out, etc. In the last 7 minutes, I turned 90 degrees and had a crosswind, and all my stength came back! it was DEFINITELY the wind that slowed me down. Still, I'm glad I got out and did the miles.

1/17/09
temp = 59 F (!)
clothes = tights, short sleeve shirt
- I got a twinge hot, tomorrow I'm wearing shorts! yay! -
distance = 3.0
time = 34:58
pace = 11:39 min/mile
This run was intentionally short and slow to provide some active recovery from yesterday's fast run, and tomorrow's longer run. It was a wonderful warm and non-windy day in colorado, and I really enjoyed seeing so many people out on the trail.
Also, my (boring) blog has a follower! please introduce yourself, random man!

Time: 34:36
Distance: 3.37
Pace: 10:16 min/mile
The run felt GREAT! I think playing with the speed on the treadmill helped my legs feel what it felt like to go fast, and told my brain that I didn't have to run as slow as I had been going. I did this run on the foothills trail, which has some hills, and I felt really strong going up each one, and wasn't tempted to walk at all. I've never been a consistent runner, but now I'm really beginning to believe that 6 30 minute runs are much better than 2 1.5 hour runs.

Treadmill again - wore tank top and felt more comfortable
Distance = 4.00
Time = 0:45:00
pace: 11:15 min/mile
Another treadmill run, although this one had a little LCD screen so I could watch Alton Brown for my 45 minutes. Is it bad that I watch shows about cookies while exercising? haha. anyway, I was happy that I had NO stomach pain or ab pain this run! It seems like every run so far I've had a little stomach twinge or cramp - nothing big, but a bit irritating. This one felt really good. I'm finally beginning to feel like I'm getting my fitness back!

1/12/09
distance = 4 miles
time = 0:46:50
pace = 11:42 min/mile
I woke up and there was two inches of snow on the ground! Exciting, but meant that I wasn't going to deal with running outside today. I forgot how boring the treadmill can be! But I made it through,and had a great run. I was definitely aerobically comfortable the whole time, but my legs were a little slow the first five minutes, presumably because I had been out in the cold. I also got a little hot, but that's not suprising. Anyway, I'm aiming for 6 runs with a total time of 3 hour 45 minutes this week, and I think this evening was a good start!

Temp = 35 F
clothes = tights, under armor, cotton shirt
- this was perfect, i learned my lesson yesterday! -
time = 0:38:58
distance = 3.37
pace = 11:27 min/mile
This felt better than yesterday, and I was much more properly dressed. I did the hills better, porbably because I ate before running today, and ran on an empty stomach yesterday. I had a stomach cramp at the end, but I ran through it and it felt almost fine by the end.

Temp = 35 F
clothes = hat, gloves, tights, fleece pants, under armour, extra shirt, and sweatshirt
- WAY too much -
distance = 3.37
time = 0:38:27
pace = 11:24 min/mile
It was an absolutely great day to run today. Picturesque sky, no wind, cold but not crazy cold. I did end up ridiculously overdressing (when I ooked at the weather it was 27 out, but it heated up quick), and ended up taking off my fleece pants, hat, gloves, and sweatshirt. I stayed pretty comfortable except on the hills, and felt pretty strong!

Temp = 60 F (!)
clothes - tights and tshirt
weight - 112.6 (!)
distance - 3.37 m
time: 0:40:30
pace: 12:01 min/mile
It was a wonderful day to run today! The winds from yesterday subsided, but the warm temps stayed. I could have even run in shorts. I ran the foothills trail up to the parking lot, which is further than Joe said I should be going this week, but only by 10 minutes, and it was just so warm I was to get a little extra time in. The run felt a little hard, probably because it has some hills.
