Life is Beautiful

OK...so I went to the gym and did 3.01 miles in 44.32 min. I was planning on going longer, but I started to feel blisters forming on my toes. Either I'm wearing the wrong kind of socks or my shoes aren't good anymore. But hey! I did it. I went and ran. :)

Went running outside today....I've never done that during the winter time. I ran through lots of puddles over some snow. Gonna do it again  tomorrow. :)

So, this morning I woke up ready to run. lol It was really nice out today. So nice that I think I might go out running again tonight. :)

So...I went and ran outside with my new ipod+nike stuff. It was pretty cool. It feels good to run outside. I really like it. I cant wait for it to get a little warmer...but I am enjoying running in the cold. I did 3.61 in 43.59. A 12:10 per mile pace.

I ran 3.77 miles around the lake in 45.43. Pretty nice day. I'm glad the snow is melting cause then I wont have  to run through slush, mud,ice, and snow!  My pace was 12:06 min mile....a little faster than yesterday. :)

Everything was against me sleeping in this morning. My hubbys phone went off at 6AM then around 630 I woke myself up cause I remembered that I had to take the trash out for the trash guys. So, when I went out the air was so nice and crisp that I couldn't help but go run. So, that's what I did. My ipod died right when I stopped (that worked out perfectly) so, I dont have my exact time,but it felt like I did it a little faster. My shins, calves, my butt, and thighs are killing me. I really need to get a new pair of shoes.

*edited* I found my charger! yay! I ran 3.61 in 40.40. I've shaved 3 min off my time! :) My pace today was 11.15. I knew I felt like I did it a little faster. :) I ran the trails around Daybreak. There were some icy spots, but nothing too bad. The snow's melting which is great cause now I dont have to run through big snow spots. I saw a couple runners out there today. Oooh, I'm getting new shoes today too! YAY!

So, I ran today with some shoes my mom gave me....they are a little too big and my calves and shins are hurting a LOT more now. :( Hopefully my new shoes that are coming will help with my aching legs. Anyway...Since I used these new shoes the Nike+ was inaccurate. I ran the same trail as yesterday and it said I only went 3.16...which cant be right. So....anyway....I ran it in 38.31 and my pace was 10.40. Not bad. I'm getting better and the weather's getting nicer! :)

Anyone have any tips on stretching???

I didn't get out today. I figured I'd give my aching legs a little break. I'll go out tomorrow and then MONDAY I GET MY NEW SHOES!! YAY!!
