Felt - meh kind of draggy. Thought it was a hard run to finish - just wasn't feeling it at all.
Watched Alias S3.

Late start this morning - I slept in and then wanted to go grocery shopping before the crowds hit (because it would be insane to at 1 pm on a Sunday afternoon) and then I had to get gas and a latte (of course) and then unpack and then eat (as I was starving!). It's 1 pm and I still haven't showered. I almost didn't run but then I thought oh what the heck - might as well. :)

5 minute warm up; 2 sets of running 10 minutes x 2; 5 minute cool down
Watched Alias S2 (finished the season!)
Did the sets much faster than I normally have been - still able to talk during but much faster than before - just to see. :)


So far the morning running is going well. And I feel fantastic all day. I'm so glad I'm not fatigued like I would be a year ago. Such a difference.

Pondering - am going to attempt to run every day this week until the weekend. I'll play it by ear and if I have to take a rest day I will but for now that's the plan. We'll see.

My last set of 10's! I guess I'm officially done the Learn to Run ;) Well not totally because my last two runs didn't consist of the full set of 2 x 10 minutes. But pretty close. I didn't get any other runs in last week because I felt crappy the entire week.

I ran this morning. Before getting ready to work. At 5:40 am. And then had to shovel three feet of snow because of the blizzard last night. I had to cut the run short because I dawdled before getting ready and didn't have enough time. But some is better than nothing.

and yes I'm tired. Although I think that is more due to the snow shovelling. I'll post the details when I get home.

1.99 K
-20 C (-4F) with blizzard conditions (snow, wind, poor visibility) - no wonder I ran inside
1 set of 10 minutes (10 minutes!), walking 1 minute and then running 5 minutes, 2 minute warm up and cool down (had to cut it short due to lack of time because I dawdled)
Felt ok. During the day I was pretty tired but I also shovelled a ton of snow before work as noted above (and then had to shovel snow when I got home as well - ok I used the snow blower but still); I felt better after I had my latte. ;)
Watched Alias S2.


but really I figure it's pretty good for my first morning run. At least I did it. I inadvertently woke up at 5 am anyhow (storm woke me up). I figure I'll sleep pretty good tonight. I am very tired.
