Running Motivator

So I had to coach at the Y today so that means running outside at 9:15 AM, MISERABLE!!  Today, I ran with Marcus for a mile then ran into another runner who wanted to push it for about 3 miles.  We ran almost 3 in 21 something.  He pooped out then I ran the last mile back to the Y.  Not really sure what my pace was.  I then jumped on the TM to finish.  I ran 2 miles at a 7:15 pace then warmed down for a .5 mile.  Great run considering it was so hot outside.  

Muggy run this morning.  I ran with Katrina this morning.   I love when new runners move to the area.  Hopefully I didn't scare her off and she will come run with me again.  It is so nice to run in the morning and have someone to run with.  We ran 6 and then I ran another 2 on the TM.  

OK so it's sad when you can't remember yesterday's run.  I'm not sure if I ran 8 or 8.5 so I gave myself the extra .5.  I figure it really didn't matter.  Anyway the humidity was awful and I don't know if I have ever sweat so much.  Ran with Kelsey for 5.5 and then went on the TM for the rest.  Nice and Easy run today.  

I thought we were going to get a break from the humidity this morning with the storms last night but, that wasn't the case.  It was so muggy this morning.  When Lori and I finished I had sweat dripping from my arms and legs.  I'm almost positive I have never had that happen.  Anyway it was a sweaty one this morning.  We ran 6 in 47 minutes.  A little slower than normal but, we will just blame it on the humid morning.  

Nice run with Leslie this morning.  The weather finally cooperated.  

Ran with Lori and Jason.  We averaged around a 7:50 pace.  

All I can say is Hot and Muggy!!!  It has been so hot these last couple days.  Even at 6AM I come back just drenched in sweat.  

Ran 2.25 on TM.  I then ran with Leslie outside for another 7.  I was thinking of only running 5 outside because of the heat and humidity.  But, Leslie talked me into it.  We were dying by the time we finished.  It was 80 degrees when we started and it's going to be 96 today with a heat index of 104.   It was definitely hot at 9:15 AM.  

I was lucky to get a TM run in.  With Soccer and Football my Saturday runs are getting pushed to the side.  

Finally some cooler temps!  Nice run with Leslie this morning.  I think we averaged from 7:30-7:45 pace.  

Nice run this morning with Kelsey and Katrina.  Ran 6 with them then two more on the TM. 

Ran 6 with Katrina then ran another 3 on the TM.  I ran the 3 in 23 minutes not sure on the 6.  

Nice run this morning with Lori.  We ran a little over 6 and then I ran two more on TM.  I will also be doing Turbo kickboxing today. 

Hot run this morning with Leslie and Carrie.  On Fridays we run at 915 AM and on a 94 degree day it's just miserable.  We were all a little tired but we did it.  I think my legs are asking for a break.   I don't know what got into me this week.  

I felt the need to make up for not running on Saturday.  Legs were really heavy today and overall I didn't feel real great.  I ran 3 on TM at a 7:20 pace or a little less.  Then went outside to run with Leslie and some other guy, who felt the need to push today.  The first two miles were around 7:15 pace.   I knew that I wasn't going to be able to keep that up for another 5 miles so I relaxed back and ran by myself probably a little behind them somewhere around a 7:30-7:45 pace.  I then ran a relaxing mile on the TM.  I thought maybe I was in shape to run a marathon.  No, not quite.   I was really winded today and legs were so tired.  The weather was amazing this morning so I'm a little perplexed on why I felt so awful.  

Total for the day 10 miles.   

Easy run with Kelsey and Katrina this morning.  I'm loving these cooler temps.  

Nice run today with Leslie.  Avg. Pace 7:30-8:00

Nice run with Lori this morning.  We avg. around a 7:33 pace.  I then did Turbo at the Y.  

So I was really sore today from Turbo.   My arms, abs, and hamstrings were really tight.  I did a slow warm up on the TM for 2.5 miles then ran 6 miles with Carrie.  I then ran  1.5 on the TM.  Overall got 10 in.  

Nice run with Lori and Jason.  I'm guessing a little on the milage because my watch ran out of batteries.  

Overall a good run.  I think we averaged around 7:30. 

avg.  pace 7:35
