Day 75
August 28, 2009
No run. Got up late.
:(
Oh well, I figured I would take the entire day off. I made two different kinds of cookies and ate most of them. They were SOOO good! I haven't had cookies for a while.
Today I saw that I have gained 1lb back. You would think this would have kept me from eating cookies, but NO! I really need to eat better. I really want to loose these, now 9lbs!

August 26, 2009
3 miles 27 minutes
I felt pretty good. I thought I was running faster, but wasn't sure until I got done. I think instead of trying to pump up my miles everyday I'll try to lower my times. Then I can do both time and distance everyday.
Today I saw the same kids lined up for the bus. I felt really stupid. I was going to try to run earlier but it was too dark. I'll have to start running later, maybe even after I get the kids off to school. That cuts into MY time, but I guess running is MY time. It may be hot though. It's the only way!

3 miles 30 min.
I didn't realize I was running 3 miles. It worked out fine though, after I realized it didn't take me 30 min to run 2 miles.
Today I saw kids lined up for the school bus. 3 different "gaggles." They didn't say hi even though I knew most of them. They just looked at me with a strange look on their faces.

1 mile (monday morning mile) New thing.
15 min.
Tired, but that is what Monday's are about right? Getting up and going after a day of rest and eating.
Today I saw kids getting ready to get on the bus for school. I'm sure they wondered what an old woman was doing out running.

I didn't have much time, but wanted to get out. I think I ran about 1/2 mile...whoohoo! It was a little cold.
Today I saw nothing. Too sad to look at anything. (88)

4 miles - 40 min
It was really windy today. Very windy! I'm not possitive that I actually ran 4 miles. I probably was a little less since I changed my route a little.
When I first got outside it was a little dark and looked like it might rain. That didn't bother me. It's been a few days since I have been out and really needed to run. (Family problems have put a fire under my butt.) I didn't even see any birds until about the 1 mile mark. Then they were everywhere. The were flying in packs. Not very much chirpping though. I felt that was a good sign. Anyway, I don't know if I will ever get over that bird attack. It really freaked me out!
I saw a group of 3 runners. I changed my route so I wouldn't have to run by them. There is a competitiveness in me that can tire me out. Today I didn't feel like catching up to them and trying to stay ahead. At every turn I was closer and just didn't want to deal with it.
Today I saw more blown down or broken trees and tons of trash. Birds! (86)

1/2 mile - 13.28 min
I am very weak. I had to walk the entire way. I think I need to go to the Doctor. Maybe I have an infection or something.
Today I saw trash, a broken tree, things in trees, stuff all over the place. There was a bad wind storm last night. I had forgotten until I went for my walk. (85)

10 min
I am sooooo tired. Not tired as in I need to sleep. Tired as in my body is tired. I feel like I weigh 200 lbs. I've been feeling this way a lot lately. There has to be a way to move past this.
Today I saw a lady walking two dogs. I see her everymorning from my kitchen window. She is training them and they seem pretty good. She walked past me withing touching distance. She looked right at me. I said "Good Morning." She stared at me and kept walking. Not even a smile. (I know she isn't deaf.) I hope her day gets better. (80)

3 mil +/- - 35 min.
Can you say tired! Those hills yesterday really burned me out. I had to walk today. By the time I got home I felt like I was going to throw up! I was sweating like crazy!
My father always told me to run until you can't run anymore and then run farther. The next time do the same and then you will be really fast and run really long. There have been several days over the last week that I have done that. We'll see if it works out.
Only 10 more pounds to loose! Good by the first 10...look out you last 10!! :)
Today I saw a man doing a sprint workout, a man jogging, a woman jogging, a girl jogging, and those same two girls who never look or smile or say hello. It's getting tiring to see them. I actually ran/walked a different way to avoid them today. I also saw several communiters. They said hello to me and they were in suits! I don't know why that seemed nice to me but it did. (79)

about 3+ miles - ?? min
My watch broke on Saturday. I have to get a new one to know how fast. I do know that I ran hard and don't think I could have run much harder. I was gone from home about 45 minutes.
OK. So there are these two girls I see almost every morning. They never say hello. I thought it was because I was usually on the other side of the road or passing them. Today I could smell their perfume (yep that's right...blaugh!) and they still didn't say hello. I felt like I should stop them and say, "Do you have a problem with me or are you blind." LOL!
I ran up as long of hills as I could find today. After I ran a long hill I went down it and ran it again. My leg didn't hurt, for which I am very grateful. Anyway, whenever I run down hill I always hold back. (Did I say this already?) Today was especially hard to run down hill. I actually walked part of the way back down. Working on uphills is very important. Working on down hills is too, or doing the uphill quickly is lost on the way down.
There were a lot of runners and cars out today. First there was a woman running and a man on a bike "together." (slacker man, haha) Then the two "non-communicative" girls, a man with an Army shirt, and a man that looks like John Macenrow (sp?) who I have seen before.
When I am out running I have very interesting, I think anyway, thoughts about things around me and life in general. Maybe sometime I'll take my handheld tape recorder and record some of my thoughts. Should be fun. It would be a very long entry. Other runners around me would think I'm crazy. Should be fun! hahaha!
Today I saw birds everywhere! They were traveling in packs today. One of the hills was full of them. The trees were full of them. They didn't get close but were being very loud. I'm worried about getting attacked but also getting pooped on! (77)

Day of Rest
I had Chinese food on Friday night and a bar-b-que last night. I have also had a lot of junk over the last two days. I really need to buckle down. I have lost 8lbs and need to loose another 12 to be at my ideal weight. Need to work much, much harder this week! Still pleased with my run on Saturday! (75)

Day 49

4 mil - 37 min
I'm always holding back. I'm so afraid I won't be able to finish the run without walking. Why that's a fear I don't know. I do know that even in track it held me back from my potential. So, in effort to run faster and farther I ran as fast as I could today. Even from the beginning, which I usually don't do. I did have to walk in the end, but wow was that first 3.5 miles awesome!
The first 3 miles were 27 min! The first 3.5 were 31 min! I walked the last .5 miles and I still ran the entire 4 miles faster than Thursday by 3 min! My mile markers aren't exact because I don't have a garmin and I have to drive to find out the milage. (I know that the total milage is correct.) But they are really close and that is awesome! What a great run!!
I felt really strong at the beginning and just knew that I was running faster. There was no question. Then at the 3 mile mark I thought I was going to die. I almost went home without finishing the full 4 miles. I think that would have been a mistake.
I was planning to run 5 miles, but that last mile hurt so bad I ditched. For the first time ever, I feel like I ran as hard as I could. Having nothing left over was hard though. It also made me realize that I can run faster. I just need to push myself.
I only saw 1 car today. Weird! There were only 2 runners too. Where is everyone? I know it's Saturday, but... Maybe they were all running in races. I wish I had been. That is a pretty good time, 27 mins, for a 5k when you are old like me. I bet I could have run faster if I had been in a race.
Today I saw knats going into my face. (I think I got one in my mouth. BLAUGH!) A huge beetle (the size of my thumb.) A spider that seemed not to care at all that I was comming. And a watch that told me that I was running way faster than I usually do by 45 seconds per mile! (74)
