55 minutes - foggy day

Ran at the elementary school track. No problems. Very foggy, very humid. That will make approx. 19 miles for me this week, if I were counting miles. I'm only counting the time for the time being.

Cool day.

I ran in front of my house again. Time at 30 minutes. It seems that the neighbors who had the pesky dog are gone! So, now I can feel safer running. Starting today the first thing I'll do in the morning is run in front of my house. The road has newly asphalted covering with a soft padding of gravel. It also includes a long hill which is also paved. There are sections that I can run on grass. All in all it is a good but rather restricted distance wise. It can be my warm up if I want to go further distances with more variety in scenery or it can be the run for my day.

Up and down the hill - again

This morning is my easy run so I ran in front of my house for 45 minutes. No problems, but I was tired at the end. It's my good hill training place.

Did something different today.

Today I went to each place I run and ran a mile or so. So I ran 15 minutes on Dovetown road -flat; side walks, moderate traffic. 17 minutes in front of my house a long hill on asphalt which I think is excellant hill training. I ran up and down the hill five times. I ran 20 minutes on Franklin Rd., side walk with some hills. Ran 17 minutes at Victoria Bryant park fairly level asphalt. I also walked at least 30 minutes and the walk included hills. Basically I did in one day what I have done over an entire week. I feel really good about todays workout. I hope I can do this once a week.

Timed my running today.

I can run a mile in under 12 minutes. Which that is the speed I had in September 09, but it was hard to maintain and run a 5K in under 12 minutes(a mile) now it is easy.
I'm training for a 10K trail run in December 2010. I should probably run another 5K between now and then. Today I ran for 52 minutes. It felt good.
It is going to be rainy for the next several days so I many not get to run. I will try to get in some quick speed work and/or I'll double up on the weight lifting.

a little stiff

I surprised myself and ran another hour today.
I like running an hour, but I am running very slowly and lucky to get one mile within 15 minutes. It's deliberate though. I'm going for long running, then I'll start working on speed after.

Made another hour+

I ran 1 hour and 15 minutes at Victoria Bryant today.
Good run I got a little hot since the temperatures and the humidity are higher. It's 84degrees with a humidity of 49% right now. My guess is it was in the high seventies when I ran.
Actually I ran from 8:30 AM till 9:45. At 8 AM the temperature was 65 degrees and the humidity was 86 percent.
It was a good run.

15 minute Run Today

I was tired today. Summer is here!

Yesterday I ran 61 minutes at Victoria Bryant.

Long Weekend.

Didn't run Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Today I ran up and down the long hill in front of my house, then ran one mile on a Royston sidewalk.
I took my $22 New Balance shoes back. I had already purchased another pair of Asics at J.C. Penny's. They were on sale for $40.00. Unfortunately when I looked them up online they were specified as running shoes for the beginner. As soon as I can I'll get another pair designed for high mileage. I'm running in 2040's now.
