1:28:20 – 9 miles
I am not a doctor. Nor should you probably take medical advice from a blog.
Didn’t sleep much the past 2 nights, so this morning slept an extra hour and went to the gym for a long run. Now I need to figure out what else to eat or this is going to crash hard.
Running at the gym I find myself listening to music while reading the subtitles of the news on tv. Then there’s the people watching and trying to understand how some people call themselves personal trainers. Where’s the energy and passion? Going with the mentality of “you paid me so you will listen to me” doesn’t work with me, so not sure why the lackadaisical body language.
59:00 – 6 miles
Went to the gym and did 30 minutes of rock climbing with the kids and then 6 mile run on the treadmill. Now that I have been running more outside, I’m not sure how I trained for my first marathon by only running on the treadmill. Either that or my brain is just more tired lately. Boring.
Granted, it’s interesting watching other people while running and getting ideas of new exercises (and what not to do). TV bores me these days and I don’t have enough downtime to begin reading. Only time I’ll watch a tv show lately is if I know it will make me laugh … thank you Last Comic Standing!
57:00 – 6 miles
The schedule called for a 6 mile run. In the past I have ignored the “run” part and went for just finishing. One of the things I’m starting to notice is that it’s harder to push my pace when it’s just me running. The time I had this morning was quite close to my time at the Bolder Boulder. I think I need to find a running partner who likes to go fast and gets up before the crack of dawn like me.
42:00 – 4 miles
Did some rock climbing with my 7 year old for half an hour. I think I’ll be doing that more.
1:10:00 – 7 miles
Pleasant run this morning where I acted on the urge at mile 5 to run hill sprints.
