Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

I did not end up running today. I woke up at 5:30 and did my Jillian Michaels Kickboxing. I use it when I'm in a slump.

It has been 3 weeks since i have ran regularly. I figure I would write my thoughts and feelings on here since I'm sure friends and family are tired of hearing me say, " I need to run" And then it doesn't happen.

Today the plan was to run after school. That didn't happen because the headache I woke up with never went away and only got worse. Moving made it hurt more. I tried to nap it off but that did not work and so then I went to work.

I just realllllly need a schedule. I need help. I joined an LRS run group and that seems to be about the time I fell off the wagon. I did well through the coldest parts of Jan and Dec...and Feb was just pathetic!

I looked at the last few weeks and decided on Tuesday I may want to only do 3 miles...the last few weeks I ran 4-5. and then on Wednesday I am in school from 8am to 1030 pm...needless to say by thursday I'm so tired and I just giv up for the rest of the week...So tomorrow I will only run 3 and see how that works.

I'm taking 19 credit hours this semester and working nearly full time hours. I have asked them to cut be back at work (yes the money has been nice) but I need my running!  so they have be at 4 days this week. I think that will help a lot!

Well that is all I will share for now!

3 miles in about 30 minutes

I ran to the bank today....How fun is it to run errands! Also there was no line because I was there so incredibley early. I had a great run. I can't help but wonder why I keep on getting these horrible over the last few days. It just started again a few hours ago.

Any who--Goal today was to have a nice easy run and to try out my Nike +. Now I just have to get back out there on Thursday and my group run on Saturday.

I did buy new shoes today...they felt soo good in the store...I have been having a heck of a time finding some. I'm so glad I went back today to try again!

Objective:break in new shoes and play with Nike +

What actually happened: walked 5.19 miles in 1:20

Temp: 40 degrees

What a horrible/good run....First off this was first day in my new shoes. I had shin pain in my right leg with in the first ten minutes. So I kept trying to run and then stretch..not working. ONly walking helped. So something I read herer just made me say "Screw it I will just walk the entire thing" and I did.

Next yuck thing--my IPOD is dead. It won't turn on, or charge...I don't usually listen to music when I run anymore, but i was just going to take it with me so I could use my Nike +. Well that isn't possible anymore. When my boyfriend comes home from work I'm going to try to snatch his IPOD from his truck and use that on my next run.

Oh and then b/c it took me sooo long to walk I got super hungery...I did put in some joggiing spurts and the pain didn't come back but I didn't want to push it.

I also tried something new this morning. I woke up at 5:30 (boyfriends stupid alarm) and I had breakfast and then read email..then I went back to bed till 7:30...and then took the dogs for a walk and then a run. I couldn't getto bed till midnight last night because I didn't get home from school till almost 11:30. I didn't want to be sleep deprived!

Well off to some food!

Finish time 1:14 9:47 pace

A.M. Cloudy with a chance of rain.

I ran with the LRS today...all my old buddies weren't there so I ended up meeting new people. ONe of them knows my aunt and I knew of here b/c my aunt always talks about her friend that runs! Any who small world

So we set out to run 7 miles...some how we always end up with .5 miles more. I was nervous b/c thursdays run became a walk...but I broke in my new shoes by walking in them during errands and they work great! No shin pain!

We were in the 10 min pace but we kept sneaking up to 9...there were a lot of hills in this one! It was so nice having people to run with that kept me going!
