As the rain and snow subside and I get to move my runs outside I'm finding the importance of keeping track of time! Though I've never been much of a scheduler, I have found keeping my children on a general plan helps them and I'm slowly learning it helps in running as well. My run times inside had gotten pretty good. Last night I went out at 7:33 I had the dogs and we jogged up the street and out of the neighborhood. It was the first night it felt like summer, I was in a tee shirt and capri's and the sun was setting behind the mountains I was not hot or cold and enjoyed my jog. I am intentionally saying jog because when I got home at 8:20 I had only completed a 2.5 mile loop? My goal of 10-11 minute miles was not obtained last night! While running on the track I have a constant reminder of the time so each lap I can calculate my time. Being outside enjoying the mountains, the evening breeze and the Lake gave me a great run and let my mind go free to enjoy but I decided I was looking to much at my surroundings and not focusing on my end goal. Today's run is 3 miles I'm doing it outside again during my work lunch hour so I'll have to keep myself on pace! I'm giving myself 40 minutes and 20 minutes to make lunch and make myself presentable for the end of my shift.
For this week 3 miles Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Rest Friday, Saturday 6 miles and Sunday Yoga with weights for upper body.
