Ran: 30 minutes
Walked: 15
The first mile I ran on a road that has .06 miles of downhill and uphill. Because I didn't run an hour I'm compensating by running hills.
My most recent reward for running will be all the ice cream I can eat.

Nose breathing causes side pain?
Ran 46 minutes (approx 3.2 miles)
For the first couple of miles it took no effort. The last half was harder. I've discovered, I think, that trying to breath exclusively through my nose makes my side hurt. My side did not hurt today although I thought I felt a twinge the last mile. The key is controlled breathing, so I read. I also tried to exhale on the left foot strike.
The temperature was 76 degrees and the humidity was 91%. Another factor in my run taking more effort.

My run today took a lot of effort.
I ran at least 3.5 miles and walked at least 30 minutes.
It took a lot of effort because my right leg was so tired. After 2.6 miles I walked for a while then ran another mile. My side has been hurting, don't know why it isn't exactly a catch.
Unless a miracle occurs and I wake up pain free and totally rested and energetic I will only run one mile tomorrow. I think the heat and weight loss is getting to me. Hopefully I can run 52 minutes Friday. I don't work this weekend so I can get in some additional running even if it is a single mile.

One mile day.
Ran: 1 mile
Walked 1 hour.
The temperature was 75 degrees and the humidity was 100%. It was raining, but no lightening so I ran a quick mile and finished with walking. I added an additional 18minutes of walk time to be sure I burned the calories for today. My weight is at 140pounds. I want to lose between 4-6 more pounds then maintain that weight whether it be by running or walking and watching my calories. Day before yesterday my morning resting pulse was great, but my morning surge blood pressure was way past being moderately high. One reading was 165/98. So I've gone on a low sodium diet and that seems to have worked because my yesterday morning blood pressure reading was below 140/90. Another thing I'm going to watch is water intake. I want to stay hydrated, but I need to make sure I'm not overdoing it with the water.

Day three: 52 minute run
The temperature was 69 degrees; the humidity was 96% Heat Index 70.
My sansa battery was out, so I ran without music.
I had aches and pains that didn't want to go away epecially in left leg.
Completing this run took a surpreme amount of effort. At one point I thought my head was going to explode! I really had to work at it and I'm so proud of myself for running the entire 52 minutes that I'm going to reward myself with a shopping trip. Tomorrow will definitely be a rest day!

52 minutes
Ran: 52 minutes, no problems.
Yesterday, as I was walking around the neighborhood to cool down, someone stopped me and asked me if I knew anything about snakes. There was a 5-6 foot snake stretched out on a tree trunk. It didn't look to be poisonous. It's head was small.
On my second walk around the block I watched as three men with shovels and a water hose trying to encourage the snake to come down out of the tree. Later I heard a gun shot and assumed the snake had been shot.
Another note of interest in my attempts to run before day break. The other day I noticed the air between my apartment and the next one on this street was thick with bats. I watched for a while as the bats entered a small hole on the side of the neighboring apartment house.

Ran 1 mile.
Tired, and I got a late start at 7:30 AM. I'm trying to take at easy today because my left leg was so tired last night and I'm still feeling it this afternoon! I did a job yesterday. The tempertures are very reasonable around 80 +, but the humidity is awful.

Spreading the Pain.
Ran: 1 mile
Walked: 2 miles with weights
Biked: 2 miles
I tried to spread out the muscle strain and because I only ran one mile I added more walking and rode the bike.

Slow endurance running.
Ran: 52 minutes.
Took little effort because I ran very slowly. I'm only going to run intervals once a week. I hope I can run at least 50 minutes the other 4 days. The mileage for this week 15 miles.
Walked two miles with a friend.

Speed day
Ran 2 miles - intervals
Walked/sprinted 1 mile
Didn't take much effort, but I felt like the fast running really had a negative effect on my joints.
