Day 17

Ran 1 miles in 13:28 @ 13:28 min/miles pace, weather was mostly cloudy, temperature around 39 degrees, Slowly cutting off those seconds. :)

Took almost 1/2 a minute off my time. I had hoped for 13:20, but I think this is pretty good. Upping the speed for another week and then I'll knock it back down and work on distance again. That's my plan anyway. :) Hopefully it'll be a good one.

Day 16

Ran 1 miles in 13:56 @ 13:56 min/miles pace, weather was light rain, temperature around 45 degrees.

And it felt good. By the end of it, I was panting and sweating, but pretty much as soon as I got done I was recovered within a minute. Which is a big step in the right direction. I also zoned out for the middle part of the run, which was nice.

I'll get there eventually. :)

Day 15

Ran 1 miles in 13:57 @ 13:57 min/miles pace, weather was mostly cloudy, temperature around 57 degrees.

I'm slowly getting that pace down. I think my new plan is to get to a 13:30 min/miles pace and then I'll start upping my distance. But man, by the end of that mile I was panting hard. I'll stick with this pace for a couple of days until I can do it a bit easier.

I also did a 30 minute circuit session at the gym and 30 minutes on my Wii Fit. It was a good day.

Day 14

Ran 1 mile in 14:20 @ 14:20 min/miles pace, weather was cloudy, temperature around 48 degrees.

Yeah, its not much, but it was a really good pace (for me) and its the first I've run in two weeks. The first week I was sick and last week was the installation at work and I was asleep by 9 or so every night - No time for a run or energy for a run.

I also went to the gym today and did the 30 minute circuit and also did 30 minutes on my Wii Fit. I'm gonna try and get in 30 more minutes before I go to a friend's birthday party, but we'll see if that happens.

I decided to just do 1 mile today at a faster pace and build on that to this week to hopefully be up to 1 1/2 miles by next Sat. at this pace. Hopefully I'll make that happen. :)

Day 13

Ran 1.969 miles in 30:00 @ 15:14 min/miles pace, weather was sunny, temperature around 28 degrees.

Oh, yeah, I'm doing it. Today's run was Run 14 minutes, Walk 1 minute, Rpt. 2x. I also did 30 minutes on my Wii Fit this morning and I think I'm gonna go do a bit of Yoga on it now that I'm all warmed up from my run.

Tomorrow will be a HUGE mile stone for me in my training...I should run 15 minutes straight tomorrow which will be 1 mile without stop. Holy cow. That will be so big. :D

I've noticed that I'm getting to a point in my run when I just kind of zone out. Where its not hard or easy I'm just there, in the moment doing it. I am starting to love that feeling. I didn't even look at the clock today until almost minute 10. Is this zone out normal? I have no idea as I've never run like this before and I don't really know any runners other than Danny, but he doesn't really like to run, he just does it for exercise. Anyone out there have this feeling? (Does anyone even read this thing? LOL)
