Paula's running blog

Went out this evening with my dog and got a short run in. We were going to do a little more but my dog got spooked and took off so I came back home to check on him. I got a garmin today and have been playing with it. I will go out in the morning and put it to work see how I like it.

I put the garmin to the test today. I still need to figure out all the different features but overall it was fun to play around with. I was running during morning traffic and the cars were moving slower than I was. Unfortunately that means they all got to watch me as I was running along with them. All things considered it was a good run.

I am so not ready for cold mornings. It's too hot for a tee shirt and then it gets too hot for a jacket so you just wing it and see what happens. We went out through the fitness center and back with our neighbor and then me and Jody added on a couple miles to get our 6 . Good day run, but I am still trying to figure out my garmin.

Today apparently I had it on bike mode so my caleries and everything is all out  of wack. I'll try again tomorrow.

We went out today for a short easy run. Jody needed to be back early so we stayed close to home. I have had this cold that is making my throat all yucky. Hopefully I will get out later today for a couple more miles.

Yeah its Friday Have a great day!

Apparently I did not set my alarm the right way because my husband woke me up at 5:30 and asked me why I didn't go running with Jody at 5:15 as planned. So I threw on my clothes and went out to hopefully find her but no luck. The good news is that I did get a run in but unfortunately my dependability is going down the drain. Then of course along the way I had to stumble and fall. Not too bad I actually caught myself before to much damage was done. Other than that it really was a good run.

I went out with Jody this morning and prayed that the rain would not become a downpour. Luckily it just spit on us a little. I slept awful last night so I should sleep great tonight. I had a car try to run me  over as he pulled out of a side street. I would have swore he saw me but apparently not. Other than that all went fairly well.

I finally got a good nights sleep. Wierd dreams however anyway I got the kids off to school and then went running with my neighbor. She has been sick and we ended up walking after 2 miles. So I got 3 easy paced miles with her and then went on my own and got another 4 miles. Good start to hopefully a great day!!

Me, Jody, and Renee went for a easy run today for 3 miles. Then I added on another 2. I need to toot my own horn though, the last mile I ran in 7:36. Yes it was down hill but still that was great for me. It felt good to get up this morning and feel good I have had a cold all week and felt chilled all day. I slept great last night and I think I am starting to get over the cold I just have a little runny/stuffy nose.

Anyway everyone have a great day!

I ran up to the store to get a movie to watch while our final coat of floor finish was drying. YEAH the kitchen is basically done!!!

I went out with my neighbor Renee for 3 easy miles and then added on 3 more of my own. I was going to do 4 but my foot started hurting. Who knows one day is good and the next is yucky. Tomorrow will be better :)

Went wiht Jody today running and felt really good we took it easy and were just getting in our miles. Then mile 5 hit and my stupid foot started hurting again. Its like it gets a charlie horse and my toe is all messed up. Anyway so I took it down a notch and went from nice and easy to granny geat but my foot felt better until the last half mile or so it started aching again. Oh well I think I will try thinner socks and see where that takes me and if all else fails I will go get some new shoes. Mike might have to mangle me if he hears that though:)

Done for another day!@!

Ran a nice relaxed 3 miles with Renee today!

I went out with Jody and Renee this morning after only 3 hours sleep. I felt really good though and was actually ready to keep going today when we got done. Maybe less sleep is better for me. Who know. Great easy run with lots of social and a fun new route.

Went with my neighbor today.

I went out with my neighbor Renee through the fitness center and my dog decided he needed to go potty so we went back and cleaned that up and at about mile 3 she needed to walk so we walked the mile home. We had 2 little dogs that wanted to go home with us so we needed to hunt for their owners also.
Anyway that last mile took us about a half hour to complete!

Anyway I got home and felt like I really did not get in a good run at all and so after a half  hour of chores around the house I went back out and did 3 more miles.

I ruined it all though because me and my husband went to get shakes and french fries as soon as I got him up this morning. I am trying to feel bad but so far they tasted to good to feel bad.

I went out early with Jody and got 4 miles and then we came back and got Renee and did another 4 miles. I felt great the whole time so another great day!

Yeah I got up and got my husband and boys out the door to go duck hunting and had an hour to kill before me and Jody went running so what did I do I stubbed my toe and yep definitely broke it. Anyway running with a broken toe is definitley painful and I wouldn't suggest it. Anyway I went with Jody part of the way and then I had to bail on her and limp my way home. Hopefully by Monday it will have magically healed HA HA HA

But I ran every day this week!! You got to end on a good note!

Me and Jody went out for an easy 4 mile run today over to the fitness center and back. My toe is still very tender but I was able to put on my running shoes and get the miles in. When I got home though it was definitely aching. The stars were still out this morning and it was so dark. You would have thought it was the middle of the night. Anyway all in all it was a good easy run.

I ran with Jody and Renee over to the fitness center today and then I added on a mile when we got home.
