Lazy, Lazy, Lazy

Wow! I didn't even realize it had been over a month since my last post. Unfortunately there isn't much good to report (at least from the running side of things) since my last post. I was all excited to start training for a 10K and then somehow my motivation just disappeared.

It seemed like there was a million and one reasons not to run. In the last few weeks I was lucky if I forced myself into more than one run in a week. I've soon come to realize that I just can't only run once a week and expect any results or expect to get any better, faster, or be able to run farther. This week has been off to a pretty good start running wise. I was able to put 2 miles in on Monday night and then last night my good friend Michelle came over and we put another 3 miles on. So far I'm at 5 miles for the week and looking to make it 13 miles before this week is over.

I started a new "Nike coach" program with my ipod for a 10k training. It's a little more aggressive then the other 10k training I was doing (and failing at) so we will see if I can stick to this one. Maybe if my ipod yells at me enough I'll be able to get through it. Tonight is a night of cross training and then I'm scheduled for another 3 mile run on Thursday.

The weather has been unbearably hot and humid until this week, it finally broke and is beautiful weather to run in. Let's hope I can keep this up this time!
