Didn't run yesterday as when I woke up I was feeling my shins. I've had shin splits, and worse, before so I prefer to avoid that ( Read more... )

Look at me go; already did a second run! These past two run days I've gotten out of bed, done yoga, then pre-run stretching, followed by the run itself, then cool-down, post-run stretching, shower, and finally breakfast. I should probably change that order a bit, but it'd involve getting up earlier. I'll have to play with it. Running in the morning ( Read more... )

I am proud of myself for having gotten up (albeit late) and gone for a run in the morning while it was still reasonably cool out.

Splits:

Mile #1: 10.25.77
Mile #2: 10.50.84
Mile #3: 10.12.38
Total: 31.28.99

I'll have to weigh myself and do body composition and stuff tonight.

Today was my last Wednesday teaching at my present school. Oh yeah, it's been FOREVER, huh. Long story short, I was only offered half-time next year so I started looking. Apparently my good karma decided to cash itself in, because I got what is quite possibly THE best-cased scenario - basically hand-picked by the retiring as of this year Japanese ( Read more... )

#1: 7.18.09
#2: 7.38.96
#3: 7.09.85
Total: 22.06.90

#1: 7.23.64
#2: 7.42.20
#3: 7.23.10
Total: 22.29.30

I thought I ran slower on the second mile compared to the first, heh. It's getting colder out. Might have to switch to my Japanese school warm-ups soon...

Today I re-checked the map thingy and looked at the sattelite view to figure out where the mile markers were, and as such, I now have mile splits again. Whee! It also turns out that Green Lake really is that flat ( Read more... )

Yesterday I ran around Green Lake! I'm not exactly sure where the mile splits are though, and I think I must have not run a full three miles either considering my time (though that run is also a LOT flatter, especially initially, compared to the one I'd do from my folks' place), as I started I think at the lake as opposed to at the street right ( Read more... )

So today's my last day of running here at the folks' place, as I'm moving to Seattle in two days あんた達 OMG!#1: 9.55.74 ( Read more... )

#1: 10.00.35
#2: 9.11.63
#3: 8.30.47
Total: 27.42.45

Whoo-hoo! I pulled an 8.5 min/mi pace on my final (with kick)! I also averaged a 9 min/mi pace overall! ^_^ There is definitely much to be said for the happy thoughts.

( A thought I've had while running regarding the happy thoughts )
