I've been reflecting a bit upon the past season, yesterday's 'fun run', training advice from Sasha and all that stuff (I had a long drive home alone)..... Starting tomorrow I will do what Sasha recommends and run 4 miles a day 6 days a week and then take Sundays off. I am starting to see my potential as a runner after years of feeling I would never be able to run because I was too slow and too heavy. Also - time to get back on my diet and eat healthy again and see if I can get a few more pounds off - or else pack on the muscle. Until the end of the year I will switch over to my strength training workouts (weight lifting) and then will switch back to the endurance training in January.

Put on all my flashy thingies and headed out the door. Mile 1 - 12:20 - zombie phase Mile 2 - 12:04 - hungry Mile 3 - 11:59 - glad no one jumped out at me from the cemetary as I ran by Mile 4 - 11:34 - anxious to get home It was kind of peaceful running with less traffic around. I could just listen to the pitter patter of my Vibram FiveFingers hitting the ground. And - cars in Sandy don't aim at me as much in the dark as they did in Layton. Must apologize to the neighbors. My cell phone alarm had been ringing for 30 minutes when I got home. I'll have to get up a little earlier. It was a tight fit getting in the run, showering and getting dressed and making it into the office by 7 a.m.

Wed, Oct 08, 2008 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 5.20 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 5.20 | OK - I didn't want to run this afternoon, but forced myself to get out the door. I had no energy when I got home from work - but that may have had to do something with the fact that I got busy with computer and database issues at work and forgot to eat regularly, so think I was only at 600 calories. I swigged down an Ensure and headed out the door. I was going to find a 4 mile route around some of the neighborhoods near where I live. Didn't quite work out how I planned. I ran along 7th East to 9400 South, then down to Trax and along the Trax line to 8000th South. I needed about 1/2 mile extra (I thought) to make my loop, so turned into what I hoped was a route behind my condo complex that would loop me around. It turned out to be a no exit subdivision and dumped me back and 1/2 mile from where I entered it. Needless to say - I got in more than I wanted or needed. Mile 1 - 11:49 - no energy Mile 2 - 11:54 - feeling a little better Mile 3 - 12:04 - tired and bummed out that I was back where I started Mile 4 - uphill - 12:16 - can I stop now? Mile 5 - more uphill and no energy - 12:30

I was not happy when the alarm clock went off at 5:30 - but knew that I had a hair appointment right after work and then am going to Provo for the Homecoming Spectacular with my dad - so it was either drag my butt out of bed now or run at 10:30 at night. I ran my out and back loop today without taking my Garmin. Shortly after the turnaround point, I took off my gloves because I was getting warm. Then, around 2 1/4 miles, I started dry heaving. (NOT fun). I slowed down a little and pushed up the sleeves of my long sleeved running shirt to see if that would help. The feeling finally passed before the 3 mile mark. (Of course, under Sasha's definitions - water is bad for me because that is the only thing I partook of before running :)). Finished in 47:18. I either need to get up earlier or start work later because it is such a rush around to run, shower, inhale a bit of food and get to work before 7 (plus I had to stop at the store this morning). If I want to start riding my bike to work, I might need to do both. As it is, I am the first person in the office each morning and the last person on the IT Team to leave each night. Weight - 143 - getting back down there. Mizuno (green) 10 miles
