chizel runs

I just got my garmin so this was my first recorded run. I love using it and can't wait to unleash it's full power!  I had to walk a lot of this path today, hope to do better friday!

I struggled through my jog this morning.  The first mile I walked and then kept a nice jog pace the rest. My shoes, oh man I was hoping for a better first run than that.  My right foot was bliss, however my left KILLS me I had a sore leg anyway and now my shoe hits my arch funny what should I do?? besides fix my run on sentence? 

Off to hike TIMP!!

My left leg hurts so bad!! What on earth did I do to it? It only hurts after I have run a bit and then have to stop, how can I help this?

Wahoo, this was a new time record for me.  I actually ran, well jogged, but running to me the whole trail.  I know not a big deal for some of you, but I have NEVER even thought I would WANT to do that.

2nd time running(jogging) the whole trail!

Oh I am SO glad today is FRIDAY!! I need a break from swimming lessons.    We took the trail slow today but we still jogged the whole thing. 

Why is monday so hard?  could be because I also took saturday off?  My usual people didn't come with me today, I had my neighbor and my sis-in-law. I think our group may be getting bigger.  our best pace was 8:41 a mile. I am happy with that.  Pretty good for someone who hates to run, right?  However, I do want to improve my time, I have to keep up with my other crazy neighbors, yeah you know who you are:)

So I didn't press start on my garmin till we were already on the trail this morning, so I don't really know how far we went, I know I went at least three.  Today was tuff, I think that 5 hours of sleep for the last couple of days is catching up to me.  So question, if 12 minutes of swimming equals 1 mile of running. Do I get to count 5 hours of swimming lessons to the equation??  Could be why I have been so pooped!

oh man, this cold is kicking my trash!  I was finally seeing progress and now blah!!  I went home and slept the rest of the day. no seriously!

No running for me today:(  

Do you guys run while you have a chest cold? I don't know if I am being a wus but I can barely breathe!  Hmm, I wonder if it would help me clear my lungs......or I might pass out.....if you see my on the trail call 911!! 

wahoo! It felt soo good to jog today.  Struggle a bit but I was so glad just to be out again!

avg pace 10:11

Why does it take so long to build up but you can fall back soo fast??  Still glad to be out!!

avg pace 9:51

Ran with Dan today.  We got to the track and only lapped four times when he asked how many we do. When I answered 16 he thought I was kidding! Ha, ha I didn't wake up for nothing!  Well at least now I know that I have been working up to something, dan used to ran crosscountry in high school I thought he would run circles around me, but I had to keep him going!!

Avg pace 10:50

best 9:10

today we skipped the running and hit the bikes.  We had such a good time, imagine us on our one speed beach cruisers pulling the kiddos in the bike trailer.  aah, what a blast!  we went 12.45 miles and our top speed was 22! we each pulled the trailer about half way, thats at least 60 more pounds.  I don't know how to do the running conversion though. 

Ran with Dan again this morning.  I think my legs were still fatigued from yesterday, I don't know. It felt like the blood was going to pop from my face. I quit early with only 2.88 miles.

Avg pace 11:06

best mile 10:03

Hey, we were pushing the stroller today ok :)

Rode bikes later

4.12 miles

188 calories

30 min ab work out

12 mile bike ride/ 6 miles pulling the kiddos in the trailer

Rode bikes for 13.57 miles!

I ran at the track with the kiddos today, that was fun. Don't tell anyone but I let them take their bikes and ride around too. Don't worry it was only us there since we went later in the day.  My boy rode at least 3 miles and my little girl .50 miles on her little trike. Too cute!

about a 10:00 min pace

So while I NEVER thought it would be possible for me to run with Merri, I thought I would give it a try. Although she could have run circles around me it was still fun to run with her.  I really had to push myself and I was breathing so hard, she was talking the whole time like it was no big deal.  One day that will be me LOL. Anyway since it was my best time yet I have to post my times on here. 

1st-8:37

2nd 9:31

3rd 9:30

So Merri if you ever want someone to go with when you don't have a partner and just want miles I will run with you, but I won't ask again until I can keep up :) Thanks for letting me come!

Ran two miles but got scared running by myself so I went home and went on a bike ride with husband and kiddos. A couple miles into the bike ride I crashed into my husband!! LOL I am a dork, broke a couple spokes on my bike.  If you see me coming watch out!!

8.62 Miles on bike

321 calories on bike

I have been such a slacker lately! I have been doing the ellipitcal though, I just don't like running by myself.  I have killed of 5 running partners, they say I am too tough, which is funny because I can't even keep up with my neighbors but I will keep on truckin'. Ha ha ....

So does anybody want to do a disney half marathon it sounds pretty fun.....

ran at the track today.....somebody should tell the drill team that if they just ran maybe two laps they could all take their jackets off and stop acting like they are freezing!!   Then the poor band oh man don't even go there....

ran only half mile today pushing kiddos in stroller....too hot....too heavy so we went on a bike ride.  Porter took his own training wheels off and really wanted to ride with mom and dad I didn't think he would make it but he did all 6.62 miles. Of course we would have liked to go farther but I didn't want to push him too hard :)

bike calories 217

Does anyone know why the calories burned are always so different? Usually it is close to how far your run? but sometimes I burn more..why?

ran at the track again....

avg pace 9:30

Well, we finally got moved and settled.  I helped my mom run flyers around the neighborhood today. 

My friend showed me the trails around here today, NOTHING like the ones I'm used to.  What is it with Payson city and all the obstacles to dodge while running?

Had to cut it short today, my friends feet where killing her. I told her about you Lynsey and told her to buck up. I'm not very nice huh

three miles on "DREADMILL" thanks for the word totally fits!

three more miles on the treadmill...why do my kids have to talk to me the WHOLE time I am running??
