One nice thing about running is all you really need is a good pair of shoes. This is the shoe I'm using... sometimes. I've got two pair I'm trying to decide which pair is better for me. I like these. The problem with running is that there is also some cool gear out there that can be tempting. Here's my temptation...
Okay, lets get back to reality. So far, I'm right on track for where I would like to be as far as mileage goes. Monday I only got two miles, so on Tuesday I got in my extra mile. I've been doing better about waking up in the morning to get my workouts in. I even got up at 5:30 am to get my biking in. My knee is feeling good, though my legs are feeling a little fatigued today. My pace isn't really improving much. But I really do believe as it gets cooler things will naturally speed up a little bit. I've got about a month left of building up my base, and then the miles will start increasing.
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 24.00
Pace: 12 min/mile
Tuesday (biking)
Distance: 12 miles
Time: didn't keep track
Pace: no idea
Tuesday (running)
Distance: 1 mile
Time: didn't keep track
Pace: no idea
Wednesday (running)
Distance: 3 miles
Time: 37:26
Pace: 12:30 min/mile
You are doing awesome! So bummed I didn't get to run with you today...FRIDAY?
ReplyDeleteI totally want one of those watches. I'm right there with ya! A good portion of my satisfaction in running comes from knowing the stats. It'd be so much easier if I had a watch that kept it all for me instead of me having to remember it all. lol. Another cool gadget is the same type of apparatus but you put it onto the wheel of your jogging stroller and it measures your distance/time, etc. My running buddy (who is also prego and therefore we are not running buddies currently...just buddies) has one and it's so nice!!!
