Woot! I ran my first 5k since forever last night. It was out in Higley, 45 miles from my house, and it was a night run to support the local high school cross country team. I ran almost the entire course, walking at the water stops and when we had to run on a soccer field. I'm more of a road or dirt trail runner. It took me 45 minutes, but I did it! My neuroma really acted up at mile 2 though.

Sunday (8/24)- 90 minute dance class, 3.25 mile treadmill (1 mile walking, 2.25 mile running)

Kenya
Kenya is the gold and silver country in the men's marathon.. USA came in at a respectable 9th and 10th place!
I did 5k on the treadmill while watching the marathon. It was pretty crazy that 5k took me 39 minutes. When I finished my run the marathoners were 1:17 into the race and were at about mile 16. I can only do 5.5-6 miles in 1:17!
I am proud of myself that I did 5 workouts this week, including 4 days of cardio. I am getting much more consistent. It's a good thing, because I bought new clothes today and discovered I went up a pants size. We know what the remedy for that is. More workouts, less food!
Friday 8/22- no workout
Saturday 8/23- 3 mile treadmill run

Sunday (8/17) 3 mile treadmill run
I have noticed a marked increase in my endurance on the treadmill. I can run faster and longer. When I started using the treadmill a few weeks ago, I felt like I was pushing it very hard at 4.7 mph and I couldn't go more than 5 minutes before walking. Today I did 10 minutes at 5 mph before walking. Pretty soon I'll be back up to a mile.
My eating was good the first half of the week, but it went downhill on Thursday when I got taken out to dinner at Outback steakhouse. Then I went out to lunch with colleagues for Thai on Friday, and had Streets of New York on Friday Night. On Saturday we ordered pizza and I totally pigged out. I have not eaten anything so far today!

Sunday (8/10) 3 mile jog, 90 minute dance class
I was able to increase my speed and endurance today on the treadmill. I've been jogging at 4.7 mph and got my speed up to 5 mph during the jogging portions. I'm still taking 90 second walk breaks every 5 -6 minutes. I want to extend the jog portions to 10 minutes by the end of the month. One thing is for sure- the hard workouts are getting less painful!

Thursday (8/7) 4 mile treadmill
I am toying with the idea of doing Summer Series 5 on Sunday. It's at South Mountain and I have run the 5k course several times. The only thing stopping me, really, is the 6:30am gun time. Too early! But it would be good to do a race. i haven't raced since Turkey Trot in November.
