1 + 1 + 1 = 3

I felt good when I ran 1 mile this morning, so I decided to begin training to increase my mileage.

Ran 1 mile
Walk/ran 1 mile of intervals
Ran 1 mile

The temperature was 57 when I started and was 60 degrees when I was done. I am running at sunrise each morning. This will be my routine thoughout the summer months.
I checked my blood pressure within five to ten minutes after finishing the second mile: 125/85 pulse 88

Plus O.2

I ran my mile for today. I bought a mechanical tally counter yesterday.
The mile was so easy to do that I added 0.2 for good measure.

Mile of the day,

It was already 60 degrees when I ran my one mile for today.
While I ran I listened to a cd by the Tokens. It's a good one to listen to while running because the songs have a good rhythm and a steady beat.

365 miles - One Mile at a Time

Ran one mile in 14 minutes.
Walked a total of 30 minutes.
Today is weight training day. I'm using dumbbells three times a week to improve my upper body strength and endurance. I'm only riding the bike when I am struck by the notion.
Yesterday I had planned to "do nothing" today, but I changed my mind.
No matter what other plans I may have in a day, I am going to start the day by running one mile. I guess my goal over the next year is to run 365 miles. I can even count retro and today's total yearly miles are: 11 miles. One day I ran one mile twice. When I recover from what ever malaise I'm being plagued by, the next rung of training will be two miles a day. My strategy right now is to run a minimum of one mile per day and to improve my endurance and time in running that one mile.

Plateau?

I feel like I'm stuck at 1 mile.
Today I ran one mile and walked 1 hour.
I'll try for more distance when I stop looking a my watch every 5 minutes!

In a slump?

I ran my obligatory daily 1+ mile beginning at civil twilight. The temperature was 47degrees. This time should be a good one for the summer months. I'm reading that running should be avoided when the temperature is approaching 90 degrees.

My local weather service gives this information:
Temperature - The area experiences all four seasons. Summers typically consist of long spells of warm and humid weather. Average afternoon high temperatures are in the lower 90s Readings of 90 or higher can be expected on 70 to 80 days. Overnight lows usually range from the upper 60s to lower 70s.

total 1.5 hours

I rode my bicycle two miles.

I'm going to approximate the length of my running two ways, one is time the other is distance. At the track I ran four laps in 15 minutes. So any 20 minute period of time that I run non stop will count as a mile. The length of the street directly in front of my house is approximately 350 feet, back and fourth once is 700 feet, If I run back and fourth on the road in front of my house 8 times I will have run at least a mile. In four weeks I'm going back to Macon State college and run the track 8 times or more. 2 miles is the goal for May.

Ran the 400m track at Macon State Today

I made four laps in 15 minutes. I took my time because I wanted to be sure I made it around 4 times. The last time I could only run around the track once. I had been putting off going out there to run because the last time I did so poorly. This trip was a good one and really shows me just how much I've advanced in a short period of time. I also walked around the 1.5 mile track. I ran a few times to practice running down hill.

This has been a great week!

Ran one mile-now I'm making new goals...

Before I push myself to run two miles I'm going to take some time to get really comfortable with my one mile. I want to improve the speed and I want to feel more comfortable at the end of the run. Each day, first thing in the morning, I'm going to run a minimum of 12 to 20 minutes non stop, if I run 20 minutes I can stop with one run, if I only run 12 minutes I will run two reps of 12 minutes each. I will continue to do intervals going up hills and going down. I plan to walk/run at least one hour each day. Once a week I will do a 30 minute run.
At least once or twice a week I'll go to a place like Indian Mounds and spend 4 or 5 hours, running and walking. A new goal will to check out some of the other places in my area to run. I'm training 6 days a week, because I'm not working; when I go back to work I'll probably cut back to 3-4 days a week.

Goal for today was to time one mile...

I ran one mile in 12 minutes. Yesterday I drove my car around the block. One trip was 0.5 miles. I ran around the block twice this morning and it took me 12 minutes. If felt difficult. My goal is do jog/walks around the block again then rest for the rest of the day. So far my total time for today is run one mile at 12 minutes and walked for 8 minutes.

Finished this mornings workout with a 60 minute walk. Jogged a few times and carried different size weights.

Total time today: 1 hour 25 minutes.

Tomorrow I plan to go back to Indian Mounds and run a minimum of 20 minutes. I'll take a rest day Sunday or Monday. Rain is in the forcast for both days.

20 minute run.

Today at Indian Mounds:
Walked 5 minutes
Ran 20 minutes
Walked 8 minutes
Ten minute break
Ran/walked intervals 20 minutes
Ten minute break
Ran/walked intervals 20 minutes
Included a short rep of high knee drills

Rode bike one mile when I got home.

I had no trouble running for 20 minutes. I'm not sure of the distance, but I'm sure it was over a mile.
Tomorrow I plan to run on a road in front of my house. I measured it today.
The distance is 0.5 miles and goes around the block. There are dogs there occasionally, but hopefully they won't be roaming around tomorrow morning.
