It was 88 degrees out today.. I ran around 5 o clock.  It felt slightly LESS hot out.  There was a decent breeze and it got cloudy within the first 5 minutes, which was a nice relief.

I ran 2.45 miles and had an average pace of 8:15.  I felt good after the first 5 minutes so I went with it.  I actually got faster as the run progressed.  GO ME!

 

OH, side note, got a pedicure today, with lots of massage, maybe that had something to do with it?  Also, two beeps and a yeaaaaaah driving by.. that's always encouraging haha.

It was way too hot out, so I made the mistake of running on a treadmill at the gym.  Ugh.  YUCK.  Felt like crap, couldn't find my groove.  Ran 2.2 miles at an 8:50 pace.  Crap wednesday.  Might have to suck it up and run at 8pm tomorrow night, around and around my apartment complex.

Set my Nike+ ipod to a 5k.  I ran in the indoor track at the YMCA.  I have to start taking advantage of the free daycare and working out during the day. They do have an outside track.. it's umm, well questionable at best.  I'll check it out a bit better this weekend.

I get cramps under my ribcage on both sides whenever I start a run.  Any suggestions on how to avoid these would be greatly appreciated.

 Today's run stats 5k, 8:10 over all pace.  Yeah me!

Was busy all day... thought about not running.  Decided after I got little one down for the night to take a 2 mile jog.  Better than nothing.  It was refreshing, the temperature anyways.  Only 80, with a slight breeze.  Ran around and around the parking lot.. no fun.  Pace, 7:42.  Happy with that I suppose.  Can't get rid of this cramp in my left side.

No actual run today but played soccer tonight.  82 degrees, ran my ass off.  Felt 10x better than last week.  GO ME.  This week's goal is to be running no less than 3 miles per run.

Having a rough two weeks here.. .little one is just starting to kick her wicked cold.  Trying to figure out how I'll be able to handle this, god forbid she gets sick again, without losing all this time running.  This is going to be more challenging than I thought.

Im gonna chalk up this week as a total loss.  My daughter got sick starting on monday, and I was soon to follow.  She is still sick (poor kid) and Im starting to feel better.  Hoping to pick up where I left off next week.

 

SUCKS

Yup, I had a chance to get back out there.  Felt so-so... 8:15 pace.  Not bad for two weeks off I suppose.  Plus the weather was a bit more bareable.. 78 degrees, no humidity.  Making a trip up north... can't wait to run in Saratoga.
