February has been an exciting and challenging month so far. It is almost time for my 12K run, and my training has been interfered with by all the germs my kids have passed onto me. Being a teacher means YOU WILL GET SICK. There is no question about it.
02 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.5 Miles / 43 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 67.2 Miles
Day No. 23: Today was my first 4.5 mile run. I actually enjoyed this run far more then I did my 4.0 mile run. I felt a lot more of a challenge by adding two additional hills to the run. I felt it was a good start to a new month. I will switch between 4.0 and 4.5 in the next few weeks.
03 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.0 Miles / 37 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 71.2 Miles
Day No. 24: Today was a quick 4 mile run. Nothing too exciting to report.
04 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.5 Miles / 40 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 75.7 Miles
Day No. 25: I have run 75 miles thus far. I was amazed by this. If someone had told me in the beginning of December that I would be running starting at the end of the month, I would have looked at them like they were crazy. Thus far, this has been one of the best experiences I have had. Here's to the next 75 miles....
06 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.5 Miles / 43 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 80.2 Miles
Day No. 26: Two weeks to my first race: The Flash 12K.
07 February 2010
Miles Ran: 5.5 Miles / 53 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 85.7 Miles
Day No. 27: It was a day of technical difficulties. My mp3 player was on the fritz, and kept shutting down, my ankle was killing me, I hit every traffic light along my run, but I ran 5.5 miles. It may not have been my fastest pace, but I completed it. After my run, I broke down and went to Best Buy and bought an iPod Nano for running. I also picked up the Nike+iPod sensor kit. I cannot wait to test it out tomorrow.
09 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.0 Miles / 35:55 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 89.7 Miles
Day No. 28: Today was not really about the run, but playing with my iPod and the Nike+iPod sensor. I absolutely loved it. It kept track of my time, distance, and pace and allowed me to hear it with a press of a button. It was pretty cool....
11 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.5 Miles / 43 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 94.2 Miles
Day No. 29: I ran today, but messed up saving my run data on the iPod. I am still learning all the tricks to it. It was a bit frustrating to run all that way and mess up saving the data at the end. Other then that, it was a fairly regular run.
13 February 2010
Miles Ran: 4.0 Miles / 36:22 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 98.2 Miles
Day No. 30: Yesterday was an incredible stormy day. I was pleased that the weather cleared up so I could run today. I figured out what I did wrong with saving my data on my iPod, but unfortunately it was after I made the same mistake. I am excited and a bit nervous that next week is the big day, The Flash 12K. Tomorrow I will be running 6.5 miles. I am excited about this run because it proves that I can at least run a 10K (6.2 miles) race. I will be running a 10K next month at Springtime Tallahassee.
