first run of 2010

Tonight I ran 4.5m at 11:06 pace. Felt a bit tired esp lungs but otherwise felt OK I'm getting better at handling an hour or so at the gym/on the treadmill, which is super hard coming out of summer with tons of runs ourdoors. Today and yesterday and all wkd was 'feels like 10 degrees' gross!!

I decided to run San Diegos Rock and Roll halfmarathon with TnT. Very excited to have some structure. The race is 6/6/10 and I'm excited. My goal is 2:10. We'll see. :) here goes nothing!!

Goals

I ran on NYE and got my 750m for the year :)

Goals for this year:

Nutrition: Stick to a more mediteranean diet. Focus on not eating shitty just because

Running: Run another couple half marathons. If I decide to run NYC in Nov, get faster and run in 4:30. Easy peasy, right? It is if I focus now.

Other gym stuff: take more yoga and spinning. i love both and never do it!

2.88 left

Last night I ran 4.75 making my balance for the year 2.88 miles to be run tomorrow as a finale. I might run 2.88 exactly and call it a day to end the year at 750 miles run. Obsessive? maybe. Idc. This month I will run about 40 miles making it my third lowest milegage month (Oct and May we the others around 39 miles) Oct i was sick, May I ran the marathon and nothing else and this month I was sick and traveling! I didnt run from the 8th to the 19th! And on the 19th I only ran 3m, YIKES! Last week I was back 'up' to 15 miles a week and this week I hope to be at about the same. I am running the half in March so we'll see how that goes :)

almost to my goal

I currently have 7.63m left to run to hit 750 this year. I ran 8 on Saturday to knock a large chunk out of the way. Legs felt heavy but good after. I will run 3 tomorrow and the rest Thursday or Wed depending.

I'm proud I stuck to my goal even when I got sick with a chest cold in the middle.

still am not working too much on speed but feeling better with each run in terms of chest etc.

I'm going to be picking it up to run 4-5x a week for the next month, trying to slim down before a wedding :)

defeat?

i havent run in a while. i've been sick.

am not running this wkd in that race.

feel very disapointed.

im in miami bitccccch

ran 6 miles at the gym today the weather was perfectly awful outside. of course tonight is the night im celebrating my birthday. oh well, right. i ran 6 miles in 62 minutes. very proud of that. felt pretty good even though im mildly hungover from my long haul flight self medication.

felt really strong today at the gym which was a nice change from the crap that were my runs in the big city of london this past weekend.

tomorrow i hope to run a few recovery miles. i've been really trying to up my alcohol consumption so that 1 or 2 drinks doesnt knock me on my ass the next day.

i havent listened to my ipod in a bit so im seriously jamming while i write this. just thought you all should know ;)

happy saturday!!!

35 miles to my 750 mile marker... if i run the 15k i'll only have 25 more miles, thats nothing!!! well not nothing but not bad in 25 days. why do i get the feeling im going to be running 20 miles on new years eve to get to another marker/???? im calling it right now based on my own crazy self !!!!

can i do it??

So I was ready 430's blog and noticed I have no idea how many miles I've run this year....

So I did a little comp spdst, being the nerd that I am...
710.46 miles. This year.

Well I dont think I can get to 89 more miles this month- that would be adding 20 mile runs back in! But I will try for 775 which is 65 more miles which is about 16 miles a week. Quite frankly I'll be happy with 750 miles for the year but thats that.

My highest mileage month was Sept of 2009 with 95.31.
My lowest mileage month was May of 2009 with 40 miles.
On average I've run about 64.5m a month. Which isnt awesome but certain not paltry.

So that's it. Just a few stats for your Friday pm.
