Zapping the zero

Today I had no classes nor the internship so after a lazy day here in my room, at 6:30 p.m. I decided to get out for my run, I was sick of being here in the computer. I headed out to do my bread and butter, I felt good, but suffered from GI problems, but then I felt fine gain. Kept the effort easy and felt great at the end. Wore my windbreaker and hat. The weather was in 15 degrees according to the Smartphone, I think it was a bit cooler.

Have a great start to the week!

Finishing a good week

Today I started the run at 12:30 p.m., I did the same route and the weather was sunny, but a bit of cold, no gloves, just my hat but wore a long sleeve t shirt. Felt tired at first, but then felt better, but in the last 7 mins or so felt tired again. I think its normal because I have run for 5 days in a row and doing my normal route. I feel that my fitness is coming back slowly as I am feeling more confortable with the distance. Eventually I ll have to ramp up the distance if I want to improve my times and/or lose more weight.

I finished the week on a good note as I skipped the run on Monday and Tuesday, but then came and ran all the remaining days  of the week and feeling good. 5 runs this week.

Have a great Sunday!

Catching up 5:

On Thursday I did my normal route which takes me around  35-36 mins. I felt tired so took it easy. I did this run at 8:45 a.m. because I had to go to work and in the evening I had clases so I need to get the run in when I could. I felt tired, but got it done and was pretty happy about it.

Yesterday I did not have clases so I ran at 7:00 p.m. and did the same route, but felt much better and it was cold out there, but once I warmed up I was fine. I am not wearing my gloves lately, just the wind breaker and hat, once my hands warm up its all fine. I did around 35 mins. Felt good.

Today I ran at 5:45 p.m. and it was not that cold. Today I felt pretty good, dont know the exact reason, but I felt awesome, maybe it was the beers of last night or the salad that I ate today as a I dessert. I felt so good that I decided to push the pace on the way back in the big uphill, needed a couple of mins to recover from that at a very easy pace. I think I ran 34 mins today in the route, dont know really since I have not repaired the watch yet. No much need of a watch when you dont know the distance, but I ll have to repair it eventually.

Feeling pretty good and bouncing back very good.

Have a great Saturday!

Zapping the zero

I could not run on Monday because at the time I was supposed to run, I had to visit a friend of mine to the hospital so DNR.

On Tuesday I had to go to the internship and did not run early and in the evening I had classes, so a did not run also.

Today I was not going to register another DNR, so at 8:40 a.m. I put my clothes on and went out running, wore my hat and windbreaker. The wind was very strong and it took my around a mile to warm up because I did not wear my gloves and it was around 6 degrees with a lot of wind.

The goal was to run 20 mins , so basically the route that I did last week, but  I decided to extend that after a mile, till I got to the Debod temple, but when I was there I decided to do my normal route that took me 35-36 mins, so thats what I did and I felt pretty good. The effort was pretty easy and I found it long mentally, but physically it was a breeze. 

I am glad that I could run my normal route again, when I was sick recently and felt weak I thought that I was not going to come back, but here I am feeling strong again. Around 35 mins total.

Have a great Wednesday!

Finishing up the week on good note

Today I did my 5th run of the week, that was the goal. I headed out today at 12:30 p.m. or so, and did the same route as yesterday, felt pretty good and it was very sunny. wore a long sleeve t shirt and my hat, no need for gloves, it seems that the spring is coming up. I felt really good and wanted to run more, but I dont want to rush things. I did around 21 mins, I dont know since I am not wearing a watch. Tomorrow I ll run longer, probably 30 mins and will gradually increase distance till my normal distance. Felt good and happy to be back in the running scene.

5 runs this week, have a great Sunday!

Getting back into the swings of things

I rested on Thursday and was again yesterday at 5:00 p.m. I did the same route that I have been doing this week, but at the end added 2 more mins. I felt a Little bit out of shape but got it done.

Today I went out running at the same time, 5:00 p.m., but felt much better, I feel that my form is coming around nicely, of course I am only doing 20 mins runs, which is easy, next week , I ll ramp up the distance to my normal route, 35 mins. Today I did the same route as yesterday, but feeling much better. The weather was in 13 degrees and I wore a t shirt and my windbreaker, no gloves, but my hat is innegotiable. I hope to keep feeling like this.

This morning I watched a cross country race held in the park that is in front of where I am living right now, I just knew about the race 10 mins before the start, so I got dressed fast and crossed the Street and got there. Those guys and girls fly by, guys ran 8k, 2 loops in the circuit, women ran 1 loop, 4k. ,  A lot of old guys running fast too. I think that race motivated me in my run this evening. LOL

Have a great Saturday!

Feeling better

Today I headed out to do the same route as yesterday, which takes me around 20 mins. Today I headed out at 5:50 p.m. or so and felt much better than yesterday. However, I am still out of shape and will ramp up gradually. Today I wore the windbreaker but not my gloves, felt good. The temps were  in 10 degrees, so not so cold. Feeling better and I will be in my prevous shape in no time. I had 10 days off from college due to the finish of the 1st semester of the master. Next week I wont be able to run in the evening.

Have a great humpday!
