10/21/07 - Running as a hangover cure



So I went out for my birthday and got completely trashed. I decided to try to run off the hangover this morning. It kind of worked, but I wound up running a different way than I usually do and came into come pretty long steep hills. I'm surprised I pulled such a decent time considering I wanted to keel over and die for most of the run.

On the bright side for my birthday I got a ton of new running clothes. Which I am really excited to break in, but I think I need a day off of running. I'll get back on it Tuesday.

10/20/07 - Birthday Run!



This five miler felt harder than it should have. At the end of the run I realized why. I was running a good 20 seconds below my usual mile pace. Having run this probably made me feel even better than I did pulling a pr on my 5k yesterday.

Either way this started out as what was meant to be a short easy run and it wound up being a hard long-ish run. Which is okay with me.

10/19/07 - 5k PR



This is the fastest 5k I think I've done so far. Personal record. It felt a lot harder than it should have, but it's made me realize I'm not so good at speed. I want to work on being faster, but I suppose that comes with time.

10/17/07 - goodness



Weather: chilly, but not too bad

This run, like monday's run, kicked ass. Running just felt so good, so natural, so easy. I love when running feels like that. Of course, that being said, I'm starting to feel a bit sore so we'll see how I feel tomorrow. Interestingly enough, I feel like I run better when there's something on my mind.

On a side note, I've started a nike+ challenge with Kat over who can run the most miles in the next 30 days. We just started today so I'll update in a few days with the results.

10/15/07 excellent



This run just felt amazing. It was one of those moments where you just feel like you can run forever. I thought I'd go out for three miles or so, felt good I figured five, but I didn't imagine I'd do almost seven.

I seem to run really well when I've got a lot of things I am thinking about. So many boys, so little time :-P

10/14/07



So I finally got back into running. After pulling my quad I took a week off... then spent a week being lazy. But I'm back into running and feeling good.
