Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

9am run--sunny/overcast low 70's

Good run today. I saw another runner too! I did run in a sorta new area. That was a nice change.

I did some speed work. Sorta. I would run 10 minutes at sort of a slow pace and then sprint for 30 seconds. those times I was happy with. I wasn't too happy with my slower times.

Very tired from working this weekend. Very busy. so I slept in and missed my run. I have to help a friend move so maybe I will get a work out with that. And I hope to have time to get a pedicure with a friend before I go to work tonight.

61 Degrees 6:15 am

I was crossing a not at all busy street and this lady comes zoomeing up the the stop sign. I was there first so I started to go-plus despite her speed she hesitated. I was half way across the street (well almost there) when she decided to hit the gas and just go. If i were in the middle of the street I would have been injured. Boy did I ever yell at the lady that is talking on her phone and oblivious to anything around her! Grrr

otherwise--weather was good. Knees were a little sore. I was a little sleepy. I had a very hard time sleeping last night. If forced myself to wake up telling myself that the run would keep me awake for the rest of the day and sleepign for another hour would just make me sleepier.

P.S. I got my committment skirt in the mail. I shall wear it tomorrow on my 11 miler and report on it.

my knees ache right now...

Abuout 8 miles into the run I was starving. I really need to get some goos or something. I had powerade and water with me. but I was so hungry. I wanted to do 11 but that just was not going to happen

I came home and ate a lot. LOL...

I have been feeling very tired lately. For some reason this week has been horrible for getting my 8 hours in. I skipped my run and did some weights instead.

Does this make any sense--When I don't run I tend to have a bad allergy day. When I do run I have little to no problems (I may have a sinus headache). Can this be medically explained? Either way I take my meds every day whether I run or not. Just wondering if other have the same experiance. So today my nose is draining and I have itchy eyes...blah!

Good run. Going to get my hair cut today and I have tons to work on for homework. And then of course I have to work tonight. I hate fridays--it is when all my work begins! BLAH!

P.S. I wore my atalanta committment skirt wednesday and I loved it..and today I wore a buff. I really like it too. It will be interesting to see how much wind it will block when I wear it as a gator in the winter.
