And That's My Story...

My Running Plan for this Semester (Last Semester of Graduate School!!!!)
  • Monday
  • Thursday
  • Saturday
So far, I am on track because....I ran yesterday (Monday)!!! How was the run you might ask. Well, truthfully it was horrible, but (as I try to do), on the positive side, it won't ever get better if I don't get out there and get running again. So, even though I definitely had a rough time, the nice weather and the day off provided enough motivation to get me going.

It was the perfect day for a run. It was around 54 degrees and sunny. I ran 2 miles while trying to keep my heart rate low'ish. I tried to not max above 190. I managed to average out to 171 bpm. This meant I went an average of 12:15 min/mile. I definitely had a rough time breathing and had to walk a bit. Hopefully on my next several runs it will get better.

Once again I have posted a calendar with all 12 months on one sheet on my wall and I am highlighting the days that I exercise. This I have found to be very motivating. However, I just need Mother Nature to go along with my plan and bring in the nasty weather on my "non-run" days.


...And I'm Sticking To It.
