happy thanksgiving

so happy thanksgiving out there...went out for a good run this morning and got a good solid 2 and a half miles in...ran 2 so now i can happily eat some awesome turkey and all the extras i want later on...haven't been running as much as i would like lately but have been getting some good quality runs of 2 or more miles in...managed to hit 3 miles run together a few weeks ago and got a 4 mile run last week(together of course)...i'm happy that i was able to get another 4 miler in...took a few months and it was tough but it was great to do...

but until next time...have fun eating some turkey!

oh its you...

so i had a good run today...managed to run 2 and a half miles together...was going to go for 3 but the last quarter i ran was getting dicey towards the end...its weird though when i run more than a mile at a time my legs feel a little wobbly when i stop to walk...but just gotta keep running...today was the first time in a while when i came close to the 4 i ran all those weeks ago...but then again that was something i had never done before even when i was 50 pounds lighter and running more frequently...

been busy with work and stuff which is why i haven't posted in a while but i've started picking up the workouts and stuff...just hoping to keep up with the pace i've been going...got new sneakers tonight which i needed(and also because i happened to step in dog crap when i was out walking a few before...that definately motivated the shopping spree...i mean ewww!) but it was definately needed...haven't gotten new shoes since july and the soles were almost worn through...

until another day though...it feels like today has been the longest day...

oh its you again!

so i haven't posted in a while...haven't really gone running to much lately...starting to get back into excersising and ran a really great mile today...when i've been out i've been teetering around 10.30 or so for a mile so i've been really happy about that...

but i'm glad to be back out there...went for a quick run yesterday...between yesterday and today getting out again is great...it gets tough sometimes getting motivated...at least i have the ipod to keep me going

off to sleep...until next time!

yay fall

so had a really good run today...did 2 and a half but ran two together...decided to give the running for time a break and have a good solid run week...but i did in fact knock a minute off my time so i'm now running 2 miles in 23 minutes...not all that impressive time wise but i never would have thought i would be running this much when i started back in january...i'm really psyched at the progress...

the half i did run i did "sprint" which was good...so i did quicken it up a bit to see how i could do but if i want to go for mileage quick doesn't work for me right now...although i must say i was able to pick up the pace for the last quarter which also suprised me...who knows maybe soon i'll be able to run a fast paced 2 miler...

but all in all i'm happy with my progress...until next time though since i really should be hitting the hay

run run and run some more

so somehow i managed to get a mile in under 10 minutes...did not even know that was possible or even that i was going that fast...but i'm really psyched that i was able to go that fast...

i really didn't get as much running in as i would have liked this week...i just didn't make the time that i should have...i need to work on my time management with that but i'm hoping that this week marks an improvement in the work out schedule...and the weather...running in the rain is not always fun...

anywho until later

power

so i powered it out today and ran a mile in 10 and change today...yay...happy to be able to get over that hurdle...haven't run another 4 miler but it took me a while to get that done so i'm not to bummed...been trying to run over a mile when i go out then hit up the sprints...this weight is going to come off whether it wants to or not...

in other news school is going well...going non-matric through hunter in hopes of getting into the program at some point...also making some headway in my reading...bought a few more books so the count is now at 33 and i've read 8...closing in on the 9th one...still have a few(ha) to go so i'm thinking i may need to carry this project over for yet another year...one day i may have to stop buying books...ha ha ha

til tomorrow...

woo hoo

so after days of basically forcing myself to go out and excersize i had a great workout...not only did i easily go out to run but i ran 4 full miles together...i have never done that before even when i was a bit thinner...wasn't running for any sort of time but was happy that i was able to do it!

i really wanted to get a good workout today since tomorrow will be tough with school and stuff and i was glad to be able to pull it out!

until next time
