Two days down...

Three miles. 43:57. Not great.... About a 14:40 min mile pace. But My first mile was almost 16 minutes, so I really picked up the pace. I'm changing up my running habits. Instead of walk 5 minutes, run 2 minutes and cut down as the run progresses, I'm walking a few laps, running/jogging a lap, and repeating. I want to increase the distance I can jog without needing to walk. I've got two runs down this week. Hopefully I can keep it up.... Although I am kind of getting shafted, schedule-wise, at work.

Today I start again

Still not doing too great. I got three miles in today. Just...injury plus working all the time plus illness makes running difficult. My pace is much slower, over a 15:00 mile. 3 miles in 46:49, so 15:36... Still on pace to finish, but not giving me enough cushion. So I need to start again. Keep the pace up. Get my milage done. And I will do it. Because I will finish my marathon.

Doing okay

I've been slow, but finishing all my miles. Until today. I've got one mile in so far... I don't like splitting up miles, but I just don't have time for all three before my ten hour work day today. I'll either finish it up tonight or do it tomorrow before work and, therefore, before my six mile run. It just difficult with work, and I'm not up to speed because of my tailbone injury and not working out as much as I should. I did go out shopping for healthier foods so I can pack meals, so that's good. Well, that's all I have time for now... I'll update again soon!

Second bad week..

Well, last week was bad, too. Work is just making things so difficult. I'm working six days a week right now due to staffing problems. One manager just can't work, one is having surgery, and we haven't finished hiring another, so it's just me and my boss next week.
So, last week I only got six miles in. That's bad. Very bad. But this week I'll do better. I'm still working like mad, and my tailbone is still bruised, but I WILL get it done.
I got my three miles in today, even with my meeting with my trainer in the morning. Unfortunately, it was rather slow- over a 15:00 min mile. But once I get back in the swing of things I'll pick up speed again, I just know it.
I'm planning out my diet today and going shopping tomorrow, so that should be helpful with energy and weight loss, as well.
Alrighty, that's it, really. I'll hopefully be posting more as I get back into training!
