2.4 Mile Baby Carriage Run/1000 yard swim

Was fighting a cold/allergies for the week, plus not getting much time to work out, so I didn't work out. Then today, feeling better and having a little time, I took Zoey on the neighborhood run. Felt okay. When I got home, I coughed up several gobs of sticky bubbly allergy phlegm, then felt better. Zoey fell alseep on the run.

I do need to start getting more serious about getting workouts in.

But I can't argue with containing a possible cold from descending into my chest.

later went to the pool and swam 1000 yards.

Shamrock 2 Mile Run


Ran the 2 mile Shamrock race with Zoey in a blazing 18:46. I pumped up the baby carriage tires before hand. They basically had no air in them, which explains why I had so much trouble the other day. My arms still got tired, but I ran at a pace faster than I ran 5Ks my first year.

One Mile Run

ran a mile and a half on the treadmill, but the first quarter and the last were just warmup cool down to a one mile at 7.0 or about and 8:30 pace. I ran it easily with no shortness of breath, but i did sweat a fair amount, not unusual at the gym. I wanted to test to see if I got short of breath or not. the reason I think I was in Florida was the climate and running a little faster than I realized.

40 Minute Run

Did a trail run with my brother in Florida. Ran 20 minutes, walked a minute, ran 5, walked one, until we hit 42 minutes, then we walked the last short bit back. My body felt dead today and I didn't have the best wind. I don't know if it was the climate (it wasn't too humid), lifting weights yesterday as well as a 7 minute treadmill, running maybe faster than I thought (there were no mileage markers) or just not being in as good a shape I would like to be.
