Ran 61 minutes

Went to VB park.
Ran 61 minutes without any problem. Walked at least 20 minutes.

24 minutes 2 miles

Ran in downtown Royston.
Good run. Effort 7. My knee doesn't hurt.
Walked an additional 2 miles.

Nice Cool Day.

Went to Victoria Bryant Park and ran 1 hour 7 minutes. It took a lot of effort. I'm feeling kind of tired.

Monday

Ran 35 minutes and Walked 25.
Suspending speed and hill. Knee is not liking it.
I'm going to run by time and add more at regular intervals.

Sunny day.

I stretched.
Lifted Weights
Ran up and down a hill for 20 minutes. And of course, walked.
I'm going to begin running hills. Getting ready for a trail run.

April 21, 2010

Ran for one hour at Victoria Bryant State park. Good run, no problems. I'm going to run a 10K there in December.

New shoes.

Got lucky today and found a pair of new balance running shoes for $22.00. A deal that I couldn't refuse.
Taking the next several days. I hope to begin running at least an hour a day beginning Monday. I haven't attempted it before. But I'm up to two to three days at an hour each day.
I'm good for 30 minutes so if it's too much I'll split the running into two 30 minute sessions.

Another hour today.

I ran an hour today. I split this one up into two parts. I ran up a very long sloping hill on a sidewalk in Royston, then went to Victoria Bryant to run another 30 minutes.
I'm taking the next three days off...or maybe two. I'm going on a weekend trip. And after running every day for a while it's time to let my body recuperate.
I'm satisfied that I can include a couple of hour runs each week that I run. Soon I'll increase to 1.5 hours. My knee is still a bitch. It hurts but with the ice and heat and advil it gets better.
Yesterday I ran my first non stop 1 hour and 15 minutes. No problem cool temperatures and I ran it at my favorite place. Victoria Bryant Park. I can run on dirt or grass occasionally which makes the running easier.

Ran on the sidewalks downtown.

Did stretching and weights and then went ran 24 minutes. For the first time ever, I felt a bit nauseated after. I think it was because the end of my run was running uphill.
My knee is fine today.

Yesterday

I ran 60 minutes non stop. An easy run. My goal is to run various times during the week, but weather permitting, run a minimum of 60 minutes on Sunday.

Easy day.

I ran 15 minutes and walked 15 minutes. A few slopes. I did walk up and down a steep hill.
It was hot for my taste and I got a late start.
Knee ached! I bought ankle weights and I'm going to start doing some strengthening exercises for my knee. I'll find a website that shows rehab exercises for knee procedures and use those exercises.

Ran at the lake Hartwell

I wish I had the guts to go ahead and sign up for the Hart Dam race on May 1st, but I don't. This is the first good week of running I've had. I'm afraid I don't have enough time to get it together.
Today I ran at Lake Hartwell. Really windy. It was an easy day so I ran 20 minutes.

Victoria Bryant Park

Yesterday I ran 60 minutes non stop! Today I ran 50 minutes and I stopped a few times to drink gaterade. Humidity was up today.
Good run and was able to run through knee pain.

Good day for a run.

I did strenth training. First I stretched my muscles. Then I did 2 sets of 10 reps of each exercise. Then I went to Victoria and ran for 20 minutes.

Because I took two days I did a run with the strength training. Tomorrow will be running day. Hope to do an hour. I may do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. My knee is still bothering me, but not much.

Running again.
