WORKING!

YAY!!

AND I am past last years distance! :)

GRRRRR Still

Ticker is still not holding information.  ??

10k

3 km warm up (16min)
2 km tempo (9:55 into wind)
2 km tempo (I turned around and had to reset my garmin, I think the wind was making it act wonkey and EACH step was a lap!!!  9:38 )   <----SO HAPPY!  I felt cold and thought for sure I was going to be over 10 min on that.
3 km cool down (17min, hill and into wind)

Ticker issues

HMMMMM!?!?!

Seems my ticker won't update, when I put the info in, it shows but when I hit 'next' , the new info is gone.

I know yesterdays and todays run DID NOT get added, I wonder if this has happened before

17 km Sunday
6.3 km Monday.


I will keep trying and keep track here so I know.  ARGH.


Sunday's run was a little tough, I was a little behind in kilometers for the wk, (missed Saturdays 10k) and one run was 9 km but called for 10k. So Sundays 15km turned into 17 kilometers and I took an extremely hilly route to 'make up' for it.
I think my total elevation for the run was 637 ft

Ticker

Hmmm, I glanced at my ticker and I dont' think I will make 2500km before January 1st.  BUT I am ok with that, it was a number I put in to aim for after doing 2012(actually 2022) last year.  So as long as this years total is higher, it's winning in my books!


Lately I am obsessed with picking up beer cans!  It started in the summer my son and I started doing it.  We had decided to save for a trip out West for our family,  and now I cant stop.
Sunday 14 cans
Wed 16
/Thurs 11
Friday 19

Crazy that many people are drinking and driving.  This is about a 10km radius around my area. 

Loving it!

I have to say that I have refound my love of running.  I admit that I had a few weeks of 'eh..... it's run time'. 

The schedule my friend made is pretty aggressive.  Which I am happy for.  I told her I needed something to push me, I had been checking my Garmin dashboard and I had no significant change in 1 year. 
I like having a set schedule and the fact that I will be accountable for doing it.  It's so easy with no schedule, to go out and not run as far, or as fast as you should.  And I think I had been doing that for longer than I like to admit.

I am on week 2, and it's a 50+km week.  I had an appointment Tuesday, which turned it into an unscheduled rest day, so tomorrow that should be my rest day is going to be a run day.  But even after the first week, I feel stronger.  I am excited to see what results will come.

*picked up another 16 beer cans yesterday and 12 today!  Same road, different sides.

I am a winner!

I don't know what I actually won, but I did the reader survey on iRun and recieved an email that my email was randomly selected. 

WHOOT!  I never win anything, so I am pretty stoked!  (THANX!!) 

Must be the karma gods!  I found a Blackberry last week running and made sure it was returned to the owner and he came the next day and brought me a15$ Tim Hortons card. 


I ended up braving the rain yesterday.  By the time I left the rain had pretty much stopped and it was a slight drizzle and just DAMP out.  I did 14k instead of the 15k but added in about 5 good sized hills.

Backed it up today with a hilly 6 kilometers.

Rain

The sun did not shine
It was too wet to play
So we sat in the house
On that cold cold wet day


I have 15km on tap today.  I am 'considering' running in the pouring rain, because if I don't--it means treadmill!  I THINK I've mentioned how much I hate the treadmill??

 

 

This seems WAY more enjoyable
