You dont have to run fast to be a winner.

So, I stayed up way late last night and decided I would just sleep in until right before I had to get up and start getting ready for work...which was at 11. I got off at 8 so there was no daylight to run in. =(    So I ran 3.25 miles on the treadmill. I dont like running on the treadmill. It kind of helps that Golds gym has the cinema room for running, so I watched fantastic 4 which was cool...but yeah...

I ran the 3 miles with some intervals. over all, half a mile of each mile I ran way fast. But over all, my time was slow. 47:07. That averages like 14 min miles or something.

 My muscles have been telling me all weekend since the race that I am more out of shape than I thought. heh heh. So, I felt my muscles quite a bit while running today.

 I will get back in shape though. because guess what....I'm gonna be AMAZING! =) It felt good to go running even if it was on the treadmill. =P

okay, check me out. I ran more today than yesterday...and it is only 3 minutes slower. =P I did the 4.39 miles in 50:53. When i hit the 3.25 I checked my time to see how it compared to yesterdays run and...I was at 40 or something like that, i think but yeah, I did better.

 here are the splits. mile 1- 10:33; 2- 12:37; 3-12:07; 4-11:22; and my .39-4:13

The first mile was down hill and flat. The second and part of the third were alllll up hill. =(  and then the rest of the third and the fourth were down hill and a flat. =)  So...I definitely went a bit fast on the first one looking at the other times. As far as how I felt, my right arch and knee were aching a bit. I think I might need to get new shoes. =D My quads complained but other than that...it was good. So, go me!

What a beautiful day it is! Running was so good. My body was a little tired...but...I kinda ran faster than I should have for just starting again. I was tempted oh so much by the beautiful weather, the slight breeze and the easy 3 mile coarse..thingy.. I found. Here are my splits.

1-11:24; 2-10:52; 3-10:54; .37-4:02

It was a great run. I feel good. My quads are still complaining a little. I am going to stretch good. And...I will have a little more self control and run slower so I get into shape without injury. =) Though, most of you could probably walk fast at my pace. heh...I will get faster. =) You just watch. But seriously though, I need to be breathing easier, so I need to slow down.

 I hope everyone elses runs are going fantastic!! XDXD
