Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

7am--just not into it this morning. I hardly worked up a sweat b/c I hardly ran those three miles...my feet hurt...any who..I hve to work at noon and b/c i'm not going to make anymoney I plan on leaving when the closer gets there around 4:30ish...soooo...maybe I will run after that. I have a lot of school stuff on the brain, thought maybe a run would help but instead I couldn't wait to get back to study more (I have  pretty important midterm coming up)

7:00am--slept in....soo hard to wake up! any who I did intervals. 30 seconds of speed for a 1/2 mile of slowness. I warmed up for the first mile and cool down for the last 1/2 mile...all in all fairly good run.

 I decided what to do for my once a year-things I have never done. I bought these 3 or 4 inch heals for a wedding I am going to in September (it is actually on my birthday). I am going to walk in those all night long with out falling over head first into something. LOL This is a challenge b/c I have a size 10 shoe and i'm already 5'8". This should be fun. Oh and the most fun is that I tower over my boyfriend who is 5'10" LOL

Day off...I hope that after I take my mid term today I will be able to be a better runner tomorrow....I have to do 11 or 12 miles tomorrow..yikes!

I got up early at breakfast and decided to go run at the bike trail. I took the yellow dog with me. He ran with me for 6 miles...and no he was not pooped at all! I'm like wow to only have your energy. We stopped back at my truck got water and I decided it wasn't a good Idea to leave him in there while I did another 6 (I wanted to run 12 today) Also, my committment skirt kept riding up. So I went home, went potty, changed into shorts got more water, dropped the yellow dog off and went for another 5. I was only suppose to do 11 today but I was hoping I could do 12.

In other news-the midterm was a killer! I don't think I did horrible but I didn't do fantastic either. I know just from listening to others I probably did better than 1/2 the class (it was matching a mathematician to 2 of 60 statements, which were either their mathematical contribution or some off the wall quirky fact she threw in there). In essence there were 30 mathematicians I had to memorize. Then there were 30-40 other questions from quizzes we took or from lecture. It was definately a challenge. Well now i'm going to research more on Buckyballs which are quite facinating--they may lead to a cure for cancer or aids, which incidently I found that China may have either found a cure or a vaccine I think it is going through the trial phases of the research. Well now that I have bored you with rambling on with things I find facinating! Happy running!

6am 65 degrees

15 minutes of weights and crunches. My back has been sore lately...I hope it is b/c of myweights and not b/c I'm running funny with the dog. I know it has changed my form a little.

I took the yellow dog again. This time on a usual route with no sidewalks. that would pretty horrible. He got spooked from what I"m not sure, twice and ran behind me and into the street. Then for whatever reason the chickens that are usually in the side yard were in the front yard and he wanted to eat some. There were bunnies and birds that he wanted to chase after. I may just stick to running with him on the bike path when I don't have to go to school (no time to drive there before school days)

still on the hunt for new shoes--the asics are great but they are a little to cushy. I think they would be better for walking or just kicking around. Looking for ST3's in my size and still haven't found them...I think there is an ST4...

happy running!

7-am--nice a cool out. Even nicer in the shade. I caught my smallest toes on the couch this morning. That really hurt. They were okay during the run...but then I took off my shoes and I could feel the pain. well discomfort...It may bruise.

I have been forgetting to charge my garmin so it died mid run. Before it died I kept falling back into a comfy 10:30 pace. I kept trying to keep it below a 10. 9;30 pace felt good but if I don't concentrate I don't keep it...Is that weird?

BTW--I got an A on that math midterm. I had to look at it twice. With the curve I got an A+. I'm just super happy that I didn't need a curve to get the A. There were a lot of others that didn't do so well.
