I love the 40's for running...Today I didn't eat breakfast before I went out. I have lots to do so I thought I would experiment with that a bit. I had some powerade and then went out the door.

At about the 30 minute mark I got some stitches right up in the middle of my rib cage...did not feel so good...but they went away after a little bit of walking (only one walk breaktoday)

I really focued on the chi running. I hope to get more of the reading done today.

Happy Sunday running!

7am

Goal: Practive more Chirunning and get use to the heat...It was 68 when i started my run and it ended at 71...23mph winds on the leg out...and by the end of the run I wish I had some wind hitting me...I felt so hot! Maybe I should wake up earlier!

 

it is also day two of eating after my run instead of before...so far so good...I did end up getting a stitch again at around the same time as yesterday...

Pace 10:45

And on another note--I start school again next week. Lucky for me I only have two days a week where I start at 930. (last semester i started at 8) So possibly I could get a run in before school now...It helps also that this semester I will not be working during the week so I could go to bed early in order to wake up a little earlier...I'm not excited aboutt he lack of money this new schedule will bring but I'm sure I will have more time for my 21 credits, running, time with my dogs, and my boyfriend...

Well off to walking the dogs...happy running!

I woke up a little late today...So I ate breakfast and waited an hour...I had no problems with this as far as stomach trouble.

Today I was trying to work on Chi running...I have always had a week back so it was kinda bothering me today. Not hurting just feels week. i have been doing super mans and ab work trying to strengthen it but as I remember even doing 300 sit ups a day did not help. I have horrible posture. I try to stand and walk tall at work but that kills me...

 

Any who I thought I would try this whole fast mile thing. this run is a 1.5 out and 1.5 ish back. So on the last mile I sped up. I would say the last few blocks of the run I was in all out sprint. Good thing it is down hill. I about died but feel okay. Also the last 1.5 mile was 1 minute faster than the first.

I bought a new Nike Shirt. Love the color...hate that it looks like a half shirt on me. It rides up. I have a long torso and some shirts end up doing that. I will keep it anyway and wear a different pair of pants the next time I run in it.

After my run I took the 3 dogs on a .8 mile walk. Well I ended up jogging with them b/c they were unusually hyper and pulling. They liked that...On our normal walk there is this white fluffy little dog that always barks and makes my one dog go nuts. Well today the owner was actually out with him and was walking him across the street to where we were. I stopped and turned directly around. My dogs didn't even notice him but the fluffy dog was all going bonkers. And my dogs weigh about 190 lbs alltogether. I can control them but I just didn't feel like today I would be able to. The owner got some made! She was like ma'am you can walk over here! I'm like no thanks

I could see her from across the park she wasn't even walking the dog she was only taking him across the street to do his business. Well no wonder the dog is so cranky all the time! He never gets to go for a walk.

Any one watch the Dog Whispherer? I have caught it a few times and walks are the most important thing for dogs. When I skip one I notice it that day or the next time we are on a walk. Okay well i'm sure you have had your fill about my dogs!

I walked the dogs 1.5 miles today b/c my legs and feet are sore from yesterday. I put in 11 hours at work. Eck

I did some weed pulling and cleaned up the house...i think I may make dinner and just lay around for the rest of the day!
