Catching Up

I have been running almost every day (except today!).  Inside for the most part where I was up to 2 miles on the TM with no problem.  Then yesterday I ran outside and couldn't even get through the first mile without having to walk some.  So, what's up with that?  Why is it harder to run outside than inside?  Of course, I have a hill to run up the first 4/10's outside but also have the TM set at a 1% incline so it shouldn't matter.  But it does.  Anyway, I am keeping at it but just needed a day off today. 

Another run

Another run! It was good, happy with my pace. And really happy that I didn't wait till the hottest part of the day! I guess that is my big win for today. Heat responsibility. It's actually cooling down a bit now. In fact, I had all my windows and shades open all day. Pretty nice to be able to do that! Heading to SD tomorrow. I know I have a visit to the lake planned, for sure. And pizza eating!

Run

Had a really good run today - before it got too hot!  3 miles at the lake.  Also took a walk to Walgreens.  After it got hot. I was a sweaty mess when I got home!

Tomorrow Tracy and u are going to check out the abandoned train tunnels.  Should be like a 5 mile journey.

Finally Outside

I've been running outside the last 2 mornings.  Still in the mid 60's but not too bad.  Still feel like I'm starting from scratch though.

Hot Run

I ran today and it was too hot. I have to admit it. It was 90 when I went out and I thought "This doesn't seem too hot!" but, about half way through, yeah. Too hot. Why didn't I stop? Well, isn't that the eternal question! I went to my yoga class last night. I love it so much. I wish more people would attend, though. I was the only student. Again!

Doing stuff!

I had a small break while I had company - but only from running. We did some serious hiking, as you saw from the pics. Really fun and I was really sore! Yesterday was a day off for me. I did go for a lot of walks, but no running. Sunday I ran and also went to the gym and lifted weights. And yesterday I was just too sore and tired to contemplate running. So I was kind to myself and took a day of rest. Haven't run today - yet. But I'm toying with the idea! Yoga tonight, for sure.

Trying to back on track

Home now and I have run 1 mile on the TM the last two mornings.  After nearly a month off it feels like starting from scratch!  But determined to get back to it.  Glad to see you have continued to keep the blog alive in my absence!

Yay outside running!

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have access to the treadmill. But I really struggle to do the distance I intend when I'm on the treadmill. And I've been generally sad about not running outside since it was due to all the smoke and related air pollution. By the way, the have arrested the arsonist that started the Perry fire, which is just south of Pyramid Lake. He's been charged with over 40 counts of....different things. But they expect many more charges to come, as the fire is only 40ish% contained. What an ass. Anyway! I ran 3 miles outside at the lake today. It was just on the wrong side of hot. I'm glad I got out there when I did, otherwise I would have missed my window. I have been going to the gym. I will run (2 miles or so) and then lift weights. On the one hand, I feel mad that I'm out of shape. On the other hand, I feel glad that I'm going to the gym and getting my runs in. Going to really try and focus on the positive.
