More Miles

Been running mostly 1 miles around the basement. This morning, ran a 5K (at least it was supposed to be - mapmyrun said 2.63). But did my run in my new USRSA long sleeve shirt. 

Happy November!

Denver and between

Yeah, so I've sucked at logging lately. Most of my runs have been 1 mile 'around the basement' runs with the exception of the 6, 8, 10 and 13.1 mile runs of the last 4 weeks. The half was in Denver last weekend and was my first since around 2006. Ran a 2:21 (10:53 pace) which was exactly what I expected. Especially given my lack of training. 

Life otherwise is good. Need to buy a treadmill because the circles are getting boring...

A Little Better

Don't remember every day of the last 12, but I can at least log today's. Every other has been a mile.

August 2: 3 miles around Indian Cliffs

Said I'd be better...

And then I moved to a new house and forgot again!

Have run my mile, ran a few 5Ks with Ryan, and generally working to get in shape. Passed day 2000 of running every day. 

Forgotten Blog

But not forgotten runs! Just haven't sat down to write them up. Every day has been a mile (at least). Ran the 5 mile Women's Run, did two 5K with Ryan at his pace, some runs in NJ, Philly, and CT over Memorial Day weekend. Today's run hasn't happened yet, but it will. :)

And I'll be better again. I promise!

Beautiful weekend

Yesterday, I couldn't resist going for my run between karate classes, it was so beautiful out. Probably got in about 2 miles. Today, I ran on the Rims with Robin. 66 degrees! Can't believe it's only March. But the weather calls for snow again this week, so I guess the nice weather will be short lived.
