199.27 Miles in 2010

Three little ones to report tonight. I am wheezing like crazy and not hitting a flow at all. But I figure some is better than none, so shorties it is.

Yea, an update! I did 2.24 miles today at the Rec. I am getting over 2 weeks of sickness, ending with a sinus infection and probably strep throat. Both boys were sick, too.

It was harder to bounce back than I anticipated. It was all I could do to make it through a 10-minute run at 5.5. I walked the rest. Hopefully, the climb back up won't be as long or difficult as getting there the first time.

Also! I had received a coupon on a new running skirt, including free shipping and returns... risk free! I bought a Gym Girl Ultra and ran in it for the first time today. LOVE. The inseam is longer than my current skirts, and they didn't move an inch. There are also great pockets and a hole for my earphone cord for when I'm not on the treadmill.

I'm a little behind on logging miles, so this is a catch-up post.

2.28 miles today at the Rec... where the A/C was broken. I was dripping with sweat after the end of my 5-minute warm-up walk! I cut it short at 15 minutes of running at 5.3, then just walked to cool down until the 30-minute mark. The run felt great besides the sweat! Maybe I can get some more miles in tomorrow, since I don't think I will have too tired legs from this.

(Isn't it great that 15 minutes at 5.3 is a light day now?)

Also, I got a sweet comment from Kellsey saying how hard it is to keep going on a treadmill, etc. Girl, I don't even want to stand outside, so I don't see how you're running 10k's in it. Thank Goodness there are different methods available to go with our different weaknesses!

Last night, I decided for a long walk vs. a short run on my treadmill. I wanted to watch Wednesday's SYTYCD, so I pretty much walked for the hour and 10 minutes it took me to watch it for 3.71 miles. My hips feel more worked out than they have in a long time, so I guess it's good to mix things up.

3.43 miles at the Rec this afternoon. I had to push on this one, but I did! I ended up running at 5.3 for 25 minutes.

It's amazing how quickly I have fallen back on my mile-a-day pace. I was within 4 miles of reaching that pace at one time, and now I am over 16 miles off! Yikes. I need to get back to working out 3x per week.

I have decided to participate in the Austin Warrior Dash in November, and I am pretty sure LauraC is going to fly in to join me! I also invited Katie, but I haven't heard back yet.

3.18 miles at the Rec last night. Meh. I walked a lot.

I was so exhausted this week from our 4th of July party and all that entails that running was a pipe dream. I was getting exercise, though!
