Hope to post soon!!

Day 65
09/14/2009
Day 65
I rode the recumbent bike for 30:19 for 8.22. I exercised late as I was waiting for a few of my employees to call me back after leaving a message. 2 out of the 7 did...hmmm...guess that will be another phone call tomorrow!
I did want to run but didn't want to run too late or I would be up all night. I watched today's Inside Dish with Ross Matthews and the pre-interview that he did with Michele of BB11. So bummed she is not in the final 2!

Day 64 -- a nice walk

Day 64 -- a nice walk
I walked downtown Gig Harbor for 53:00 for approx 2.5. It was fun and much needed as I haven't had any exercise since Sunday, I think! I also am in training this week and it was nice to get outside and get some fresh air with the nice ladies that am training with!

1 @ 3 - 2.5

This run was a bit easier but I made the mistake of wearing my old shoes as I had the new ones packed. My knee started bothering me about 20 minutes in. At least the gentleman at The Running Revolution was right and I DID buy the right shoes. Woo hoo!
Also, I totally could have gone longer if not for my knee. I really monitored my breath and could not take a blood pressure off my watch 'cause that is packed so I was focused on how I FELT not how my BP was. I was able to get the treadmill to give me the 167 but it takes FOREVER to get a reading!!
After I shower and get ready, I am off to training and am excited to get back to work! Yesterday and last night...not so much...but today, I am ready!!
I am going to do my darndest to exercise in the morning every day that I am there so I can get my lungs and muscles used to exercising more than once a week!!
See you tomorrow!!

Wowee, this was a tough one for me! I definitely need to run/exercise more than just once a week!! I did not, at any time, enjoy this run. I did watch The Listener on NBC's website. Darn shame the show got canceled!
Well, can't think of anything else to add. I hope to be here tomorrow. I was going to use the Advanced Beginner 10K schedule but I think I need to get back in shape first. Maybe in a couple of weeks I will try to start on that.

Day 61 -- part 2

Day 61 -- part 2
I rode the recumbent bike 40:28 for 10.01: I went slower during this ride. I watched the last episode of Mental which was really good! I hope the series does not get cancelled!!
Tomorrow I hope to get a run in. I am going to use the Advanced Beginner Schedule for 10K race training as found on Christine Luff's About.com site. I should have looked at the schedule as it has me only doing 30 min easy today with a day off tomorrow, then a 3 m run, CT, 2.5 m run at race pace, rest, then a 3 m run. What is race pace for me, though? 4.5? That is what I am running at now as it feels way better for my knees. Maybe I should do the Beginner schedule as I think race pace might be considered as a 10 minute mile which I am not doing. I am now at 13:40 so I would have to speed WAY up! Hmmmm...what to do, what to do?
I am using this schedule to get prepared for the 5 mile run in Portland. I was trying to talk some old friends into doing it and if they do, I would not be going at a 10 minute pace as we would, more than likely, run a bit, walk a bit, etc. Hmmmm....again!

Day 61-- part 1 running again!
I did 32:28 for 2.25:
1 @ 3.5
1 @ 4
1 @ 4.2
22 @4.5
1 @ 4
2 @ 3.5

I am not sure if it is because I have barely run in the last 2 weeks or not, but this was a tough one for me. I did run 22 minutes @ 4.5 mph and my knees don't really hurt (yay!) but my lungs are burning! I was really hoping to do 3 miles today but since I ran only 2.43 last week, at least I did something, right?
I watched second to last episode of Mental while running and plan on watching the last one while on the recumbent bike. For some reason, my DVR only recorded 20 minutes of the 2 hour season finale. Thank goodness for hulu.com!!
I have a busy week scheduled as I have an interview on Monday, have to take my mom-in-law to the doctor on Tuesday, have to take my husband to the VA hospital on Wednesday as he blew out his knee...I hope I get runs in! I could easily just procrastinate and I don't want to do that. I plan on running while in the motel the following week for training and have to get used to it again!
