January 14, 2009

Tonight was personal trainer night. We got there and we had to decide if we wanted to be weighed and measured...OH BOY!!! I'm up almost 10 pounds since my lowest weigh-in with her and my measurements were also up a bit.

Christmas is over time to step it up again!!!

We did 5 min. of the bike and then got into arms, sholders, back and core. it was a tough work out but she has been meaner in the past.

Overall it was a good work out and I doubt I'll be too sore in the next day or two.

A run that I haven’t done in quite a while was the run of choice this evening. The only problem I have with it is the hills on 4 mile which are worse than I remember!! Okay not quite but I did have to walk twice.

The run was 3.1 miles in 28:48…not too bad!

Learned my lesson after last week so I was sure to get my run in the day after the trainer. It was a very nice night so I was able to get in 4.59 miles but it took me 46:07 which isn’t that great.

A nice out and back run tonight…4.02 miles in 37:48…I’m pretty happy with that!

Since I didn’t run last night, and I really should have since I am real sore today, I had to go out and run now. Did the 3.5 mile route (3 mile-bike trail-4 mile) in 34:47…slower than the last time but that is because of the soreness.

With my GOP meeting tonight I thought that if I got home from work a little early I would be able to pound out 4-5 miles. It was so humid that I was only able to manage to put in 3.1 miles at a 10+ minute pace (31:24)…I should try to run in the morning it is much nicer then!!

Obviously I didn’t feel too bad because I was able to put in 3.52 miles in 32:34…felt pretty good and really only had to walk once.

I really can’t say that I’m going to miss doing this but I know that I probably will. I have been running a minimum of a mile every day for the past year. Today is my last mile…1.01 miles in 8:37…and I am glad to be done and my body deserves a little rest. Now I know that a mile a day isn’t that big of a deal but after the first 6 months it becomes a bit of a drag. I am glad to say that I did it.

Back home and doing the same neighborhood loop…the year is nearly complete! 1.00 miles in 8:28

Friday, June 20, 2008

It is late tonight but I still wanted to get my mile in even though there is a race tomorrow. Ran a nice 1.02 miles in 9:02

Thurssay, June 19, 2008

Lighthouse run is this Saturday but I really would like to get some more miles in this week so I settled for a nice 2 mile run in 17:41…now that was a nice pace.

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Got out of work at a decent time so I got my mile in right away after getting home. 1.00 mile in 8:54 and now we are heading to the personal trainer.

Just an easy run around the neighborhood after a night at the trap range…had to be sure to get the trap in since we won’t be here next week! 1.01 miles in 8:37

Came home from visiting with my stepfather and wanted to get my run in before eating dinner. Wife already did her workout for the day so I was on my own. Did the quick loop…1.01 miles 8:52

Friday, June 13, 2008

It’s not a late run tonight which is surprising for a Friday so I hit the neighborhood and did 1.00 miles in 9:06

After a few long days in Chicago for training and then to come home and have a few events to attend this evening I was really starting to look forward to tonight's run.

The weather is perfect and I was feeling OK. I start my run (I'm figuring I'll do 2-3 miles) and I don't feel like running anymore. I try to push through the feeling but it persists for the first half mile and then the mood lightens up. I am able to get 3 miles in and feel pretty good after the fact...I averaged 9:23...not too bad!

Tomorrow I'm with the trainer again and from what my wife said we will probably run in the morning since it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

I wanted to ensure that I got my run in on time so I brought my clothes with me so when I got off the train I just changed and went for a run before heading home.

I managed 1.5 miles in 13:26

Monday, June 9, 2008

I got home from Chicago at 6:30 and decided that I needed to run before I went out for my run. Sitting on a train for an hour and a half was tiring!! 1.01 miles in 8:52

Friday, June 6, 2008

Nice easy run the night before the group run. 1.01 miles in 9:30
