Run with my Heart

The plan for the week is to do in the low to mid 40's, run painters on sat. smart and not hurt myself.  I might throw in some marathon pace miles if I feel good.  Crosstraining to put in the high 50's and weights.  and lots and lots of stretching.

30 mins of yoga and stetching

I didn't get up and run because I was going to do it while my kids were in school but my son woke up with a bad cough so I didn't want to take him so I just did my bike for 50 mins.  I hope to go out later to get some miles in.

Later-I bundled my son up and took him in the jogger.  Almost got hit 3 times twice by people trying to beat me to the turn and once by some lady turning talking on the cell phone. gee whiz people lets watch out while we are driving.  I can tell I haven't pushed the jogger in a long time.  54:44/9:00

The plan was to get up at 5 am and go do some treadmill miles because the air is getting bad outside and I could feel it after yesterdays run, dry scratchy throat.  Then when I didn't sleep well I was just going sleep in and do something later but when my alarm goes off I usually cna't go back to sleep, I think it is a curse.  So I got up and went out side because I didn't have enough time to go to the rec. center.  I did 6*800 at marathon pace flat course

1-3:24

2-3:30 I wanted to quit after this one because I was tired but tried some more.

4-3:25

5-3:23

1:07:30/8:19

Biked for 20 mins.

Lonley, cold, early run about 9 degrees.  Just ran easy with no watch.  then I came home and did 20 on the bike.  I can't tell if I am going to get sick, but I am doing everything in my power not to.

I ran 7 on the treadmill, I just couldn't face a cold run in the dark by myself today.  Leg started out feeling tried but after about 2 miles they perked up.  58:00  I was going to ride the bike and lift some weights but I feel alittle run down so I decided to cut myself some slack and just did some stretching. 

Ran an easy run on the treadmill.  Felt good 38:30

My thought on tomorrows race is realizing I am only 2 months post op and only have been running for 5 weeks that this will be more of a training run than anything.  Don't get me wrong if I fell good I will push it but I will also be happy with what ever my body is able to do.  I hope everyone has a spectacular race or saturday run.

So I ran a 4 min pr in from last year in this race on the same short course.  I also ran about the same time right before my surgery so that was encourrging.  I still didn't run all out because I had no idea how I would feel.  But ended up feeling good most of the way.  I feel like this is a good start to my year and is very encournging for things to come over the year.  ya

Loved meeting everyone at the party and satying at Marcie's house was alot of fun.  Thanks a bunch.
