It's been a while...but 6.04 miles today

It has been two weeks, I feel so sluggish!  Classes and life just interrupted and running wasn't in the timeline.  
But today, I got out there and ran 6.04 miles.  Up and down the hills.  But I did it!  My pace was 12:39, not to fast, and not too slow.  I hope I can get out and get in a few more days a week to run.  This is hard just running once or twice a week, or running only once in two weeks!  Somehow I will get in more runs.

I am still fighting a little ache in my heel where the tendon or whatever connects to my heel.  It never hurts while I am running or walking, but hurts later.  My doctor gave me a new cream (a trial he is participating in) and it seems to help.  But the cream is a bit sticky, so I don't always put it on as often as I should.  I probably need to just stretch much more when I am done running.  That would probably help.  I also need to find time to do Stretch X again.  That would feel fabulous.

6.05 miles--it's Saturday!

I can't seem to get out and get many nights of running in during the week with classes.  But i guess it is a good thing I can get out on the weekend still.  
I got out and was able to log 6.05 miles.  The hills still are hard, or should I say they are harder...Since I have't been running much, I don't have a lot of practice with the hills.  A couple of our hills are pretty steep and once I get over one, it seems like there is another one right after it.  

Hopefully soon I'll be able to get in more than just one or two runs a week.  

4.39~~gorgeous day!

I came home from work and got all dressed to run.  I waited for Chris to get home so we could head out.  I didn't know how cool or warm it was going to be, so I wore a skirt and short sleeve shirt then added a jacket.  We headed out and walked for the first half a mile.  Then I decided to run and basically ran the rest of the time.  The sun was warm and there was a light breeze.  I ended up taking off my jacket and tying it around my waist.  It felt so good to run and move.  I even ran down the huge hill on my course road and back up it (well...almost all the way back up the hill).

I need to get in the groove and run more than 1 or 2 times a week.  Now that my classes are close to finished for the semester, I'll be able to fit in a few more runs.  And nicer weather is a plus too!  It was wonderful running without having frozen toes or fingers.   
Here is to more running!!! 

2.78 miles~~more walking than running

Another run lost from the watch.  But I did run today --well, actually walked more than running.  Chris and I went out and we walked more than ran so we could just get into the flow of exercising regularly again.  The weather was nice--there was no snow on the ground, so that was perfect.  We only went about 2.78 miles (not even 3!), but we got to talk and move and breath fresh air.  

4.5 miles~~acck--watch!

Ok.  I am a little frustrated.  I ran today.  Then I ran two days from now, then I ran again.  I had several runs on my watch.  I forgot to write them in my journal.  If I haven't mentioned it, I have a running journal that I handwrite everything in, the miles I've run, the time, the weather, how I felt etc.  When I went to upload it to the Garmin site, it updated my watch and it LOST every run that was on the watch!  ACKKK.

But I did run 4.5 miles.  I think it was in 54 minutes, but I can't be sure.
