Scheduled: 30-45 min
2 min warmup
5 min run (5.0)
? min run (5.2)
I had to take a bathroom break and when I got back it was not still on pause
5 min run (5.2)
5 min run (5.4)
5.5 min run (5.2)
6.5 min run (5.0)
Totals: I have no idea what my totals were because of the bathroom break. I was at mile 2 at 22.20 mins so I guess that can give a rough estimate. I did get a chance to also do some triceps because when I was running and looked in the mirror, I was not pleased with how my arms looked. I did not have time to do anything else but I really need to focus on working the weights. I might have to start going to the gym twice a day!

Day 27
Scheduled: XT 45-60 min
Dance Jam for 60 mins.
I just cannot continue to tell you how much I love this class. I was pretty tired yesterday but I still love it. I am able to just let loose and not care what anyone thinks. There are a few times when I still feel kind of strange but I am definitely getting more into it. (you would have to come to understand what I am talking about)

5 min run (5.0)
3 min walk (4.3)
Totals 4.09 miles (11.74 min/mile)
I like this starting out slow, moving up and then coming back down. I need to work on going all the way up to 6.0 or more and then working down again. On Friday when I got my assessment done, I was told that my cardiovascular was not very good and the only way to improve it was to work more in zone 3. I am not sure what my zones are but I think that I was working more in the 4 and 5 zones. I want to focus the next couple weeks on getting my runs in but also working on the cardiovascular. This is also why I am trying these slower speeds. I am finding that I am most comfortable in 5.2 or 5.4 which is not as fast as I would like but the goal is to finish not be the fastest marathon runner! My run felt really good today.

Totals: 3.19 miles (11.60 min/mile)
I decided to try something new for my run. I wanted to start at a slower pace and just move up in speed. I am trying to find a more comfortable place for myself so that I am not so tired by the end of my long runs and so I am able to keep going.

Day 24
Scheduled: 5 miles
2 min warmup
24 min run
2 min walk
12 min run
2 min walk
13 min run
walk for a short time
Totals: 5 miles at 56.13 (11.226 min/mile)
I wish I could have run outside today but it was cold and raining and since it was just 5 miles, I thought that the gym would be okay. I do not like running on the treadmill that long. It is hot and I struggle. I think part of it though is because I work myself too hard. It is good that I push myself but I get so tired. During my last run, I slowed my pace for a little while and that really helped me be able to end. I was really starting to struggle.
I lifted weights today also. I did lower and upper body and it felt great. I need to really try to find the time to fit in weights at least twice a week. Ideally, I would like it to be 3 times but that might just be pushing it. I need to do more weights to help me though and get leaner.

Day 23
Scheduled: Stretch
I did pilates today. It felt good to do pilates and have an off day. I just do my DVD but she goes so slow that it really kills me.
I had an assessment at the gym tonight that was pretty depressing. Pretty much I was told that I am just average and that I have a lot of work to do. I did learn though that I weigh where I should weigh but I need to get leaner. I apparently have too much fat in me. I was told I have terrible cardiovascular and should not be running a marathon. Anyway, maybe now was not a good time to get my test. It is good to know that I have a lot of work to do and hopefully I can start taking the steps to getting that done.

Day 22
Scheduled: 30-45 mins
2 min walk
22 min run (I was at mile 2 at 22 mins - YEAH for me)
3 min walk (4.5 with a 3 incline)
3 min walk (4.0 with a 5.5 incline)
cool down
Total: I don't remember my end total. After the cool down, I was at 2.72.
I wore my new shoes for the first time tonight. My right toes went numb which is what happened last time I got new shoes. I am also having a problem with the bottom of my left foot. This has nothing to do with the shoes but it is really sore which made it hard to run. It is my off week so I thought that it would be a good time to practice walking on an incline at a faster pace. I struggled with that on my long run the other day. It was also a rough emotional day for me which did not help my running. It felt good to run and relieve some of that stress.
