Saturday 3-Miler

Great Morning Run

I woke up this morning and it was 40 degrees, just beautiful. I decided to take advantage and sneak my run in before work. I blazed a quick 1.5 miles in 12:36. I know it doesn't seem that fast but it is about 1.5 min per mile of my normal pace. I just felt like moving and moving fast this morning. On to the details:

Ran with the little one again

Today was a bit colder than I expected. It looked nice out and about 40 but I guess it was 32 degrees. I tool the little one out int he jogging stroller again, this time I remembered to put a nice 40 pounds of pressure in each tire so it felt a little easier. Still, he is no infant anymore. He is still yelling "Daddy run, fun" all around the house. I am sure glad it was fun for him.

Sick Run Today

That was a rough run. I have had a lung and throat thing since the midle of the week that is just starting to loosen up. I was scheduled for 3 miles today but decided to drop it back to 2. Surprisingly, my lungs felt strong, it was the rocks on the back of my legs that just wouldn't loosen up. It must be the hour and a half of volleyball I played on Friday. Either way, it was a good run altogether.

Windy Run

Its blowing 50 mph gusts out there. I picked up the pace today because I really didn,t want to be out there long. It felt pretty good but what a nasty day.

First Stroller Run of the Season

Tonight was a lot of fun, I took the jogging stroller out for the first run of the season. It got up to about 43 degrees today so I thought the little man might want to go with me and give mom a break. I forgot to pump up the tires and they were completely flat. It was tough but I still managed to crank out 2 miles at 9:15 pace. Overall I am happy and feel good and I think he will want to go along on Thursday.

The Last Week

It has been a busy week since the last post. Although I was traveling Thursday through Sunday I did get quite a bit of exercise in. I got my Thursday run in in Annapolis. It felt good and I like the change of scenery. 1.25 miles done, 9 min/mile. Friday I headed into DC to go to a couple museums and the zoo. Overall I walked about 6 hours so that made up for the fact that I did not get a run in at all during the weekend. This week I got my Tuesday run in. I sneaked in a quick mile and half to my in-laws for dinner. It was another beautiful snowy night run. I averaged 9:16/mile for that run. I missed my workout on Monday and Wednesday due to being on the road but I did get a treadmill run in yesterday. The details are below.
