Workout: 6.83 miles
Time: 1:05:27
Pace: 9:30
Weight: 126.6
Slept in on Monday morning because I was exhausted from the weekend. Dave came home early enough so i could go out running before it got too dark. I was extra crabby because I was so tired and not feeling great. So I just ran. No route in mind. No mileage in mind, but hoped to do at least 5 miles.
I ran the Abbott horseshoe, then the Glen horseshoe, down Heather to Will-Cook, to 143rd, to Wolf, to 151st to the Kingston Hills running path, to martingale, to pheasant, to prairie to Mallard to home. It was a great run. Running down 143rd & wolf rds was surprisingly pleasant going in that direction - i've run them in the opposite direction and they were annoying.
It was a really nice run. I felt good the whole time and if it hadn't been dark already I would have added some more distance at the end.
I've been doing a good amount of running since the race even though I haven't been recording it here. I've run home from Ryann's soccer game a couple of times, I've run on the treadmill at a high incline or at a high pace, I've run at Old Plank Trail, Dave and I ran for an hour in South Haven last weekend. All in all I feel like I'm keeping things up. I am so thrilled with how great of shape I'm in. Hills aren't as tough as they used to be, running isn't as hard as it once was. Its not easy by any stretch, but it isn't torture anymore. I love it.
Unfortunately after last night's run I have felt so crappy. Last night I felt sick to my stomach and have felt like that all day today, too. Not sure that it should be attributed to the running or if I had something before that... i've had a headache since Saturday morning (if not before then). I was thinking that it was due to dehydration, but now maybe not so much. I don't know, just not feeling well - nauseous, headache, feel like I'm going to throw up.
Skipped my workout this morning because of how bad I felt last night. Will need to consider tomorrow's workout later tonight.

Workout: 15:00 on the bike, 15:00 walking on the treadmill on the random hill program, + glutes, hams, quads.
Weight: 125.0
Workout was fine. I did an easy 15 minutes on the bike and then the weights. I had so much time left in the morning AND I wanted to watch sportscenter to find out about the post season baseball situation (and how my tickets are going to do), so I grabbed a treadmill and walked on an incline for 15 minutes. On the bike my heart rate was in the 120's, on the treadmill it was around 107.
These are fine workouts. I did heavy weights at 3x10 sets, but I probably could have done a tad bit higher of weights. I haven't done legs in so long, I wasn't sure where to start with the weights. I also don't want totally fatigued legs when I'm running tomorrow, so not sure I'm going to go a whole lot higher on that.
Feels good to be back in the gym and to do regular workouts rather than focusing so heavily on training. I am thinking that my days of running outside are coming to an end, though, because the sunrise is at 7am now. Makes for pretty dark running even at 6am. I really don't want to run on the treadmill from now until spring, but not sure I have much choice. I may have to schedule so afternoon runs on the days that I don't babysit, otherwise it is going to be all treadmill - probably even my long runs on Saturdays. Boooo!

Workout: 3.17 miles + shoulders, biceps, triceps
Time: no clue
Weight: 125.0
Two Years Ago
Ran with the dog this morning. I'm pretty much ready to put an end to that idea. I would LOVE to have him as a running partner, but he is so bad and it is so hard for me. He wants to stop all.the.time and pulls back on me, which interrupts my rhythm. I felt like I never got into a good groove - running or breathing - because every time I almost did, he would yank back on me and try to stop me. I gave him some extra walking time to go potty and to sniff, both before we started running and in the middle of the run, but it didn't help a whole lot.
He ran 7.3 miles with Dave yesterday, so maybe that had something to do with it, but I don't think so. I think he is just a jerk and ticked because I don't run fast enough for him. I'm not sure if I'll try to go with him again or not... will need to think about that some more.
Came home and did some weights in the basement. Nothing major because I didn't feel like taking the time to change the weights in between exercises. So I did a set of each exercise immediately following the other and then took a breathing rest in between super sets.
It was like this: (8lbs)
1 superset = 10 frontal raise (both arms together), 10 bicep curls (both arms together), 10 tricep kickbacks (each arm individually)
I did 3 supersets. I also did one set of 10 on the ab roller just to see if I could do it. I'm going to start incorporating that some more.
I would like to get back into regular weight training and have put together a schedule. Today was my start.
