Today was a 3.5 mile run with a 30 minute weight session. I will be back later to post some of the weight after I get the details from my phone.

June 26, 2009

Ran 6.1 speed range from warm up of 6.0 up to a comfort speed of 6.7 maxing outat 7.2. Felt pretty good to get it done and out the way. Tomorrow I will take it easy maybe weights and easy run.

June 26, 2009

Today did spin class not overly thrilled about the class maybe cause my mind wasn't all there. I probably should do something else where my mind can be just focus on that activity. I have a very busy weekend and I am definitely going to fit exercise in the routine.

June 25, 2009

Today, was a outside run. I ran my hill route again. This time I went up one main hill and from there was another hill just as steep I ran up and down that hill three times. My goal for the next time is to build on that bringing it to four and on and on.

June 24, 2009

Went to group power, class was awesome, I felt every muscle in my class when I left. I always am so hungry when I leave that class. Hope to be strong.

June 23, 2009

Today I ran up my hills again. This time I didn't stop and tried a different breathing approach. I ran up the main hill and then another hill twice. Even found a detour that led me a little different than I had went on Thursday. I may need to adjust my shoes by adding inserts or something because I did feel my feet a little during this run. Brand new shoes shouldn't feel like this so I will visit my local running store. Meanwhile I am feeling great now is time to get down to it. Total miles ran from Sunday to Tuesday is 16.10. I can definitely get 25 miles in.

June 22, 2009

Today ran 6.1 miles on the treadmill; mix the run up with climbing hills every five minutes.

This is my plan for the week of June 21:

Sunday – run 5 miles DONE

Monday – run 6 miles interval DONE

Tuesday – 3-5 miles

Wednesday – Group power

Thursday – 4 Mile hill run

Friday – Group spin

Saturday – Group power

Sunday – Rest

June 21, 2009

Struggle if I was going to run today but my baby wanted to ride her bike so off we went. Total miles completed 5.1 easy run

June 20, 2009

Went to group power today. I hope to rest and relax for the rest of the day.

June 18, 2009

Today I had a rough run. I ran according to my Garmin 6 miles and 7.1 on my Nike +. I don't really know which one is more accurate. I feel like I can take the average of the two and call it a day because the Garmin did not start when it was suppose to. So I am claiming 6.5 miles down. Which bring me to a total of 16.20 miles ran so far. 8.80 miles left to reach my goal of 25 for the week and I still have at least two running days left this week. I definitely need to get more hills in. I hate to run up the hills feeling like I am going to pass out. I need to get past that and I will soon. I have to keep the goal and focus close in front of me.

June 17, 2009

Today I got up and did my group power, even after doing Jillian's 30 day shred. My body is sore but I really need to get some cardio in tonight don't know if I can fit it in but we will if not I am going up the hills tomorrow.

June 16, 2009 B

Did week 2 of 30 day shred it kicked my butt! Glad I did it though. Tomorrow its group power class.

June 16, 2009

Today is a new day and I feel much better than I did yesterday. I got a 5.2 mile run in before my daughter dentist appointment. I will also do the 30 day shred week 1 tonight. My goal is to do that 20 minute workout 5 days a week. Next week I will start back on week 2 and do that session 5 days as well.

Tomorrow is group power with that my goal is to get some miles in as well. We will see that is my goal and I am sticking to it!

June 15, 2009 B

Just finished my 30 day shred dvd and feel pretty good about it. Tomorrow I will get a 5 mile run in.

June 15, 2009

Its the middle of the month June, have the year has already passed me by. I am still hanging in there and will remain to be just as focus as day one.

I didn't go to bed yesterday until midnight and had to get up at 5:00. I really wasn't feeling like working out but I did. I ran on the treadmill for about 4.5 miles. I am hoping to bring a 25 week total in but maybe a little hard since I didn't start off with a run on Sunday.

This is what I would like for my schedule to look like:

Monday - Run 4.5 miles
Tuesday - Run 6 miles
Wednesday - 2 miles and group power
Thurdsay - 6 miles
Friday - 60 min spin class.
Saturday - 2 miles and group power
Sunday - 5 miles

That is the plan for now!

June 12, 2009

Today has been another great day. I am determined to do better on hill runs. I struggle this morning on my hill run but I didn't stop one time, I slowed down a bit but that was about it. I just have to overcome that fear of the hill and keep on moving up. I know that this will make me a better and faster runner so it has to be done.

This week my runs total 27.30 miles. My goal was 25.

Here is the breakdown:

Sunday      6.64 miles

Monday     5.54 miles

Tuesday      4.2 miles

Wednesday    run rest but did do group power

Thursday     5.55 miles

Friday         5.34 miles

Saturday     on the schedule is group power

Next week mileage goal will also be set to 25 we will see.

June 12, 2009

I found the hills, I ran the hills, I am done with hills. Off to finish my day.

June 11, 2009

Today I ran 5.5 miles it felt good to get it out of the way. I am so close to my weekly goal of 25 miles i am already at 22. I will go out on another outdoor run saturday morning hopefully. Tomorrow on the schedule is spin class.

June 10, 2009

Yesterday I ended up finishing well. My wonderful husband sent my girls some Applebees gift cards and being my girls they wanted to use the cards the minute that they got them. I actually got something on the menu called Garlic Herb chicken and it was pretty good and satisfying. Who would have ever thought it would do the trip for me.

This morning I went back to my group power class and I feel like it was day 1 in the class, every muscle in my body hurts. That's okay because I know those are good aches for sure. The class usually makes me extremely hungry though but I did okay with that and ate:

Breakfast

Oatmeal

6 egg whites

Cottage cheese

Snack

100 calorie whole almonds

Apple

My goal is to get out and run 2 miles while my baby is at her Girl Scout meeting. I am still shooting to hit 25 miles this week.

Week to date totals:

Sunday - 6.64

Monday - 5.54

Tuesday – 4.5

Wednesday off am – group power possible 2 pm

Thursday – 5-7 miles

Friday – spin

Saturday – run????

Sunday - off

June 9, 2009

Finally back on track. I was in Chicago June 1-5 and absolutely let myself go. Why I don't know trying to prove that I do eat I guess. My exercise was so limited that I just have to set a goal to run at least 25 miles this week and if possible do I a strength cardio/interval DVD in the evenings. My eating is back on schedule but I really do need to go shopping to get more fruits and veggies. I am definitely off all junk food for the week because I have to regroup and get back focus. I just have to remember that I am doing this for health not size. I need to learn that I can have all things in moderation and exercise is a daily habit.

I ran 4.2 miles this morning.
