day 7

Day 76 - 97
August 30 - September 18, 2009

OK, so LIFE! Things have been crazy to say the least. I'll just give the low down.

I have been running from 2-5 miles a day. I've been running about 9:50-10:00 minute miles, until last week. I started running 7:30 - 8:00 miles!! I don't know what happened but I like it.
I haven't been running everyday. Maybe the rest between has helped.

I ran a 16 min 2 miles
I ran a 26 min 3 miles
I ran a 15:04 min 2 miles
Today I ran "slowly" and ran a 31 min 3 miles! I took my dog and had to stop and get her some water.

Needless to say I have been improving my times. Shorter, faster then longer, faster. Seems to be working.

Yesterday I ran right after I walked the kids to school. There were women with strollers everywhere! I mean everywhere! It was like I was in a race and passing everyone! It was cool, even though they were all walking. I think it improved my time. Of course, I felt weird. Here's me running as fast as I can and women walking with strollers. Oh well, it was a great run.

I have been running after taking the kids to school because it is too dark at 6:30 am. It is too hot at 9:00, but better than running in the dark.

I only have 5 lbs left to be at my ideal weight. I have to have surgery in the middle of October. We'll see how far behind that puts me.
