So today after work and getting home at 7:13 p.m. I got changed and headed out to the conservatory at 7:25 p.m. which is a bit late for me and did 4 laps outside of the conservatory, but this time I knew that I was going to have a great run, I felt very strong from the get go. I got to the conservatory in 7:35, then did 4 laps outside the conservatory in 7:33,7:18,7:12,6:40, I crushed yesterday's time for more than 2 mins. I did 43:16 today jogging the last 1.2k, I felt strong the whole way and very good. The weather cooperated also. The park is getting more crowded since there were more people getting in and out the park, I had to dodge a few people there. I definetly am getting in good shape.
Have a great Friday everyone!!

Progressive run
Yesterday the course was suspended and I thought about running, but something was being repaired in the bank so I had to stay there till 9:10 p.m. so no running.
Today I ran in the evening at 7:15 p.m., I could leave work earlier than yesterday, anyway today I ´.-was committed to run at 10 pm if that were the time that I would get here. So I headed out the conservatory in 7:52, then did 4 laps outside the conservatory as lately with splits: 7:59,7:40,7:34,7:16, felt very tight in the first 15-20 mins, then loosened it up and then felt pretty good and smooth, got home in 45:21. halfway in 23:34 or so, so a huge negative split.
I am glad about how my training is going, I have been very consistent in the last weeks but I need to ramp up the mileage and do a longer run, anyway I am very happy to run . The weather was pretty good the only problem was the rain before the run, that makes me feel like sh###$t in the first third of the run.
Have a great night!!

Zero zapper
As I said in my last post I rested yeseterday.
Today I just woke up early but because I had to be at 7:30 a.m. at work, I could not run in the morning, but luckily in the evening at 7:05 p.m. I was out to the conservatory to do 4 laps outside the conservatory watchless, becasue my brother was using my watch again, no biggies!! I just cruised and felt pretty good after the first 15 mins, I think I did around 45 mins total, with negative split, because the pace was faster for sure in the second half. The weather was very good, and could have my way there since the " lights park" is not that crowded just yet, but in the next few days I expect it to fill much more, so predawn running is the best option.
Another thing is that I have been running 5 times per week for the past 6 weeks or so, people say to me that I am getting fat or " are you fatter" or " are you getting fat" all that kind of stop, it seems that I am eating more than I should, but at least I am feeling better and better on runs.
Have a great rest of night! I absolutely love running, I am new again, and today was hectic at work, I just work a lot!

Catching up
I managed to run on the weekend, I could run through the flu, that is good since in the past when I was sick I would skip the run, but since this time around the symptons were above the shoulders, the running did not cause any problem.
On Saturday evening I went to the conservatory and did 4 laps outside the conservatory and took the splits 7:53,7:44,7:40,7:38. I felt full in the stomach in the first couple of laps, then felt great and finished the run in 45:35, negative split for more than a minute.
On Sunday at 5:45 p.m. I headed out to the conservatory to do the exact route as the day before, this time it was watchless since my brother was using my watch. Felt good and better as the run went by,
The weather is fresh and I am looking forward to every run.
Today I took the day off and will continue at it tomorrow, I ll have to run in the predawn most of the time since the park that I run in, will be very busy at night with a lot of people visiting the "lights park".
5 days a week of running once again, I really like the consistency in the past 6 weeks, the weight has not come down but I can feel the running improving.
In regards to my brother´s race on Friday, He did decent,He finished 12th overall, the guys that won simply are running sub 20 mins, and my brother is not in that kind of shape recently, but I applaud his effort and it was a fun race to watch.
Have a great night everyone!

The flu run
I am off from work today I headed early in the morning( not so early) at 7:45 a.m. to the conservatory, I was told that it was going to be closed till Monday when is ignagurated" the lights park" a beautiful place with a lot of lights, the downside is that the traffic after 6 p.m. is terrible due to that and its going to last till January, that would interfere with my night runs too, maybe I ll have to switch to predawn runs!
I did today the same thing as last night, 4 laps outside the conservatory watchless again. I felt a bit tired today because as I mentioned I do have the flu and I am battling against it, luckily its above the shoulder and I can run fine, hope that I can run in the weekend. Around 7.2-7.3k total.
This afternoon the company my brother works for is doing a 5k race, My father and I think that He can get top 3, both of us have permission to go waching him race and encourage. I wish him pretty good luck I know that He ll do just fine.
Have a great Friday everyone!

getting most out of opportunities
Yesterday I rested because I did not wake up early, and at night did have classes.
This evening after work I almost bag the run, but the will to train harder and get out there won, so I headed out around 7:20 p.m. to the conservatory to find that it was closed, so I had to do laps outside the conservatory which significantly longer, I did 4 laps and headed back home. Today I ditched the watch and ran easy, I am getting the flu and I am caughing a lot, but the legs just felt fresh and tired less during the run. Glad that I did go out, around 7.2-7.3k. Have a great night everyone!!

Zapping the zero
Yesterday was my day off.
This evening at 6:30 p.m. I went out to the conservatory and did 4 laps there and stopped there to talk and watch the women dancing there. When I started I felt slow and not so good, even started with a headache becasue the flu is about getting me, I did the first lap in 10:08, saw that was not my day, then started to loosen up and did 9:44 and felt better, on the third things started to improve even more to do 9:22, then decided to push the last lap thats when I met Jose and He basically ran the whole lap with my at that pace, I dropped him in the last downhill where I speed up a lot, did 7:59 and I was looking to go sub 8 mins. I am getting stronger and stronger and feeling a lot better. To be honest the diet has not improved much, but at least I am being pretty consistent. Did 45:25 and finished feeling good and headache-free. Have a great night everyone!
