Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

6:45 am 31 degrees

I got to wear my Mizuno Breath Thermo...it was a little hot towards the end so I thought maybe it warmed up a lot more...but by the end of my run it was only 36. No biggy.

NIce run--splits:

1:10:14

 2: 9:55

 3: 9:42

 4: 9:22

 5: 9:36

 6: 9:35

 .15: 9:16

In other news I'm very angry with my math methods teacher. I made a lesson that combined math and social studies. The social studies teacher said we did excellent andmy grade shows that. the math teacher had a few things to say but didn't watch the entire lesson. He said I need  to bend down and talk to the kids more. I told him not all questions need that face to face time. Some questions are a simple yes or no...or good job. They don't need me to bend over and say yes....First off I think that is creepy. The teacher for the class is having a bad year and it shows in her classroom management. well he marked us low for CM. Which makes no sense because they were having a good day that day. There were a few chatty cathys but nothing like what our first lesson was like. And we warned him and he said "Not to worry, you can only do so much while yu are here."(2-2 hour days)

I need a 95 in the lab portion. I'm not meeting that standard with him. In my science and social studies methods I am. How can two people see the same lesson but come up with different grades? Ridiculous!

End rant

6am-32 degrees 10:17 average pace

I wish all runs felt this easy. And I wish I remembered these easy ones when I am struggling through a run.

6:00am--31 degree....10:20 average pace

I really need to start remembering to look at the wind chill. I wore a skirt today. My knees are aching now that they are defrosting...brr...any who it is now 34 degrees with a 30 degree windchill. I'm assuming it was below 30 before the sun came out.

I comtemplating doing my long run today. But I have a meeting with the principal of the school I will be student teaching at. So I didn't want to rush the long run and then be tired for the meeting. I hope she remembers that we are meeting. I called to confirm yesterday but got no reply.

happy running all!

5:51 am 32 degrees-I hate chocolate hammer gels...blech!

I have been hard on myself when it comes to candy and soda....when I should be praising myself for turning off the t.v. and going to sleep by 10 so I can wake up at 5:30 to go for a run. So that was what I was happy for for today.

Very slow run. 11:04 pace...okay so now that I see that I don't feel so bad--that is my easy pace. But the miles were all over the pace--fastest being 10 and slowest being 12...go figure...there were hills in there too...so glad to be on the couch!
