So over rain

I'm so done with rain preventing me from doing my long runs. Since it's nasty out on the days i have the time to run for two hours, and nice out on the days I don't, I have been doing my 3.55 mile run and working on getting faster. I have managed to drop about 15 more seconds off my pace. Yes I am still going slow, but I am not longer over heating and getting ill about a mile in which means I am finally adjusting to running in warm weather. Yay! Now if I could just get my long run in this weekend as sort of a mental exercise to prove I can go the full 10 miles, I will be set.

Im Bad!

I haven't been updating properly. My blisters are finally getting smaller, but talk about a lesson learned! Always make sure your shoes fit properly and don't wear ones that don't even for just one run! I did a 2 mile run Monday and a 3.5 mile run Wednesday where I tried to pick up the speed a little bit. I have a long run this weekend and I think if I may finally be able to do the 10 under a 14 minute mile. My speed is still slow but it's not "walkers move faster than I do after mile 5" slow anymore.

Boo!

Blogspot ate my post! Long story short - 7 miles on Sunday/1 hour 35 minutes. Still too slow. Can defin. run for 2 hours 20 minutes cardio wise, it's the legs and pace that are the problem. Hip is hurt, no run til Wednesday to let it rest.

3 mile monday

Well I tried to run this weekend after eating out - bad idea. Very bad idea. Today though I had a three mile run. I ran for 43 minutes and according to google pedometers it was 3.3 miles, meaning I'm running about a 13 minute mile. Thats not good but it's under the 14 minute mile I'm required to make for the 10 miler.

I need to start logging more miles though, my legs are still not as strong as I would like.
