Creeper at the gym

Anyone ever get creeped out by someone at the gym? I did my first mile (at 13:47 min mile pace) and I had to stop a) to use the restroom and b) to get away from the guy who was just staring at me. It was creeping me out. My second two miles I did at a 13:30 min mile pace. So that's good. Hopefully I'll get faster with more training and with some weight loss. I felt great afterward today, too, even though I pushed myself. I hope I can keep feeling great as I run. Well, that's all for now. It's a slow, slow week.

And back to training!

Only a two mile day, but I did get a good little workout. Not a good day, either. 14:04 min miles. But considering I hurt my large toe and may have contracted bronchitis, it's all good. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Not much else to say, really. I'll talk to you soon!

Bad weekend

Well, a mixture of not feeling well and being scheduled plenty of overtime lead to me not getting all my running in last week. I'm not happy about it, but it's only the beginning of my training and I'll move on. This week will be better! I'm keeping up with my personal trainer for at least three more months. She's awesome, really. I think she realized how bad I was last time and toned it down a bit for me today.... Although my arms will likely feel it tomorrow. Work should be getting easier, as well. Once the school year starts and our hours get cut back a bit and a bit more constant I'll start taking up yoga. So yoga, strength training, and my marathon training. Oh, and the Richmond half in November. Did I mention that? Yeah. I'll be doing that one again. At least I'll know the route this year, even if it is a boring race. That's all for now! Back to running tomorrow!

What did I get myself into?

Goodness... why did I sign up for this? Well, I know why. I'm just second guessing it already. I did two miles today. Two. As compared to.....over 26. Yeah, I'm worried. But I've got six months, right? Anyone else feel like they can't do this when they sign up?

Off day

No running today! And it was a slow day at work, which is a nice break. Considering Dark Knight Rises is out, I thought we'd be insanely busy. I was going to get some arm work outs in today, but we had a lot of stock come in today. Last Thursday I saw how much stronger I had gotten dumping a bin full of ice. Unfortunately, 35 lb boxes of popping oil are still a bit too heavy to lift over my head. Maybe with some more training....

Another end to another week

Well, I got all my miles in this week! Hopefully I'll keep this up- get ready for the race and loose some weight! I managed to do my 3 miles with an average mile of 13:45 which, for me, is pretty awesome. I hope to keep my speed up. With weight loss this should be easier. Not mych else to say. Tomorrow is a rest day. I may still go to the gym and work my arms and core a bit. Ta ta for now!

Ugh, work...

Work unfortunately gets in the way of my life right now. Dark Knight has been making training difficult. Fortunately, it's opened so things will start slowing down for the summer after this week. I can't wait for schools to start back up- I can work out during the day!
