Ran three miles? this morning early with my husband.  He's faster than I am but because I am in a little better shape I think he really had to work to make it look like he was just a few paces ahead of me.  But it also pushed me too, which is good.  I don't have anything to record my speed and distance right now, but should have that all in place later this week.  When I run alone I have set distances that I usually do but since my husband was along and I didn't do my usual route, I'm just  averaging my didstance and no time today either.   After following people on the blog the last couple of weeks, I finally have gotten the courage to give it a go.  I have been really inspired by so many of you and hope by keeping track of my own runs that I will be able to see improvement and progress,so here goes!

Got up to run today and it was overcast and a little cool. Wasn't much in the mood to get out there but after pushing through, I'm really glad I did. I did a four mile loop that I normally don't love but it felt really great and was one of my better runs in the last couple of weeks

Quick three today, (quick is a relative term). Anxiously awaiting the UPS man so I will really know my times.

But untill then O.K. run.

Three miles this A.M. I felt like I was hyperventilating most of the run. But I don't think it had anything to do with the run, today is my oldest daughters graduation and there is so much to do today!

Got up and did a little run. My body felt a little like it was in quicksand, but got through it. I'm always surprised even when the running seems so slow and hard, when I get home and start to stretch I feel so good. It makes me feel more alert and less groggy through the day. So it makes it all worth it!

Two miles on the treadmill.  Not my favorite, should go farther but get a little bored.

thought I would run down to the track to calibrate my nike-ipod that I finally got ( 1 mile to track). Ran one mile I had't done something right. Did another mile and had another technical error. Ran the third mile, succesful! Ran the mile home, which according to the nike-ipod was only .91 miles. My husband disagree's so I'm counting my mileage as 5 miles. I was only going to do one down do one there and then back so I got a couple of bonus miles and it felt great. Maybe it was the track, or the cool evening we were having but I am glad for the extra. Tomorrow better go back to the track and make sure that my ipod is calculating correctly.

Ran down to the track this morning, did one mile and then home. I'm still not sure if the ipod is calibrated just right probley go down tonight and give it one more try. From there I'll just accept what it says and assume if it's off at least it will be consistant. This morning felt a little tired but o.k. run.

according to my info I ran 3.3 miles today with a 10:03 pace. I don't know if thats good or bad. It didn't feel like one of my better runs but would loved to have seen a little better pace.
