EXTREME MAKEOVER 2012

Warmed up with a quick 5 min walk and then started out on my 40 min run.  Ran up Elk Ridge Dr and then across to Loafer Cyn and then had to add on some minutes so I ran across the highline canal rd and then back home.  I got my schedule yesterday and I am so excited to see the results that come from using it.  

Today the scheduled showed 35 min easy run.  I ran east on salem Canal Rd and then back home.  When I got home I looked at the schedule and I should have only ran 30 min..oops.  I will take 5 min off of tomorrows run.   Saturday will be my long run which will be 60 min, I haven't ran that long since Thanksgiving Day.

Today was another slow and boring run.  I did switch the run up a little and decided to run out towards Stoke's and back.  The only problem is that when you run behind Stoke's the only thing  you can smell is pastries.  It kind of made me hungry, but at the same time it really didnt sound that good.  Got home just in time for Kellie to head out the door.  Today was supposed to be a 45 min run, but I ran 5 min longer than yesterday so I cut 5 off today.  No running tomorrow, I think that I will do some yoga/stretching to get ready for my 60 min run on saturday.

Scheduled showed a 60 min run today.  Left the house about 8:40 and decided that I would run in shorts because it was 37 outside.  Its not very often that you can run in shorts on New Years Eve.  It was a good idea until I started running.  It got a bit chilly but by the time I hit Zephyr road the sun popped out from behind loafer and it was a warm welcome to my legs.  I know that I wouldn't hit 8 miles today because I'm not suppose to run real fast, though it was kind of tempting to round up to 8 miles.  This has been a good week of running for me, I would say the best in a long time.  Body doesn't hurt at all, except my lower back is a bit tender, but I think it is just because I am getting back at it.  Next week is going to be a tough week, I run everyday and do some speed on Thursday, I am so excited!!!
