7/29/07 - 5 miler

This is the first time I've used anything other than "basic" on the nike plus software. I programmed it to record five miles. I actually found it really enjoyable and motivating. Plus I had the added responsibility that this little electronic gizmo knew I wanted to run 5 miles and if I called it quits earlier than that it'd be angry with me. Also the run was later in the evening when it had cooled off quite a bit (it rained earlier) so the chill helped keep me cool and going strong.

7/28/07 - Cross Training

Since this is all being recorded, I thought I'd credit myself with having taken a day to cross train. And of course, specifics are here.

Elliptical: 45 min at 150 or so heart rate, thank god gyms are air conditioned

Bike: No idea about distance, did a few laps of the trails at Mianus with Dad. Only the last bit was rough.

7/27/07 - cookies?

After a random day off. I'm sure even awesome runners get lazy sometimes. Not bad, but not great. I was pushing for more, but the humidity and heat were overwhelming. Almost lost my cookies when I decided to call it quits.

7/25/07

Meant to make this a quick two mile run and I wound up cutting it to one. Not as fast as I would have hoped, but my best since I've been running with the nano.

7/24/07 - Back in the humidity

It felt like a pretty good run, it sucks that my pace was all over the place. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. It was surprisingly pleasant temp/humidity wise for noon. It doesn't much compare to California, but better than usual.

7/20/07

Meant to make this a quick paced run, but I guess that didn't quite work. Oops.

7/18/07 - Rainy Day

Due to the inclement weather, I opted to run without the iPod.

Hazy Details are:
Time: 11:30am
Distance: Approx. 3.5 miles
Time: 35-45 min.

Today's run felt really good. It was strange to run without music, but also rather peaceful. I wish I had run farther, but wound up very thirsty when running by home and decided to call it a day.

7/17/07

Farther, but I get why I was so winded so early. I need to keep a more consistent pace and stop running in midday heat.

7/16/07

I don't know what it is but my running has been pretty shitty lately. I figure at least every time I go out i get to two miles, but it's just such a struggle to get that far. I'm going to try running in the evenings a bit more, I seem to do better then.

7/15/07

I need to stop running when it's so damn hot out.

7/14/07 - getting back into it

I resolve to drink less and run more. That run shouldn't have kicked my ass, but it shouldn't have.

7/8/07 - Two Today

This was my morning run. It sucked. It was way too hot, I was dehydrated and under nourished.



This was my evening run. Post dinner, post a bunch of cherries and most importantly lots of water. Still hot as hell but far more manageable.
