No Run Today

Today was impacted by a late night last night and no baby sitter this morning. So I didn't make it out to run. I will be doing a 4 run week next week to make up for it. So run Monday, Tuesday, Strength training Wednesday, run Thursday, and run Saturday.
Thanks for reading.

6-14-13 Stinkin Thinkin can kill

Today according to the treadmill I hit a 19 minute mile... two of them actually. It was a little bittersweet, because I had just gotten down to a 15 minute mile a few weeks ago. But I guess it doesn't really matter how fast it was two weeks ago if I neglect consistency in working out. I have been reading in "The Non-Runners Marathon Trainer" about using your brain to stay off your own attacks of doubt, and negativity. Using your frontal lobe to visualize more effective training. Picturing that you are running effortlessly... etc. So I tried this a little today at the gym. I had an audio book going on my iPad (Dresden Files book 3) and used on of my painting programs and wrote on the screen, RUNNING MAKES ME HAPPY ! Though running is not able to make me do anything (because it's an activity I do), this little sign in front of me served as a good reminder the reason I am running. It's to change my life, and be healthier, stronger, and help me be more active. As ...

Yesterday and today 6/6/13 -6/7/13

I've started to look at various training guides for a marathon, and am looking at other cooler temperature races to run. With Willcox, Az being in the lower to mid 80's to day of the race and the distance of travel to get there, I was thinking I should change which race I will run. As soon as I decide which race I am running, I will register, pay for it, and post it. Yesterday I made it to the gym for the second time. I even went as far as riding my bike the mile to get there. Tat nasty brain of mine got in the way again... I was able to run/walk for 36 min, make an 18 minute mile. I need to be around 15 to really start training. But idid discover that my fast walking pace done in a slow run was easier of my legs. I ask myself daily, "what am I getting myself into here?" But the answer is always the same, "I really just don't know yet." So diet is what I am going to ramble about right now, and meal suggestion I can start working eating (that isn't pa...

12-5-13 High of 45 and a Chance of Snow

So I am trying to get everything squared away for my marathon, and the weather is frightening me a little. At the 7:00 am start time the temperature should be below freezing and raise to freezing by the time I get down to a lower elevation. There is a 70% chance of precipitation. Here's the link to the weather if you want to check it out Mesquite Weather . I am still running, I will give it my all and I will finish the race. I have run in the rain and sleet and snow, and know I need to get a waterproof jacket to be able to really be prepared. Because of the need for a waterproof jacket I will be heading out a little earlier than expected. But I got a good start on one of my art projects today, so I should be able to stay on track with getting out the door between 1:00 and 2:00. Right now I am a bit nervous because of the weather, but I am still going to finish this race and get the medal I will earn. I am overwhelmed because of my homework load in conjunction with my race, and h...
