Today was one of my best running days of the last few months. I didn’t get started very early, but luckily it wasn’t too hot outside. I drove over to Memorial Park intending to take it easy and just get a 3 mile run in. I felt good when I started and figured that I would probably stop 1/2 way…

21 May 2016: I’m baaaccckkk….
I went to my Luke’s Locker training class today and I ran for the first time since the Tinkerbell 10k. It was hot, the hills were tough, I sweated gallons — but I did it! We did an interesting workout called the “cloverleaf”. We walked/jogged over to where Waugh crosses over Memorial, by way of Buffalo Bayou. Waiting on the…
24 April 2016: Longest training run EVER!
Today was my final long training run before the Tinker Bell 10k. My training schedule said that I needed to run/walk 6.5 miles. I was so dreading this run that I even reached out to my running clinic buddies to see if anyone wanted to go with me. Coach Toni said she could go – but only in the evening…
20 Mar 2016: First 10k completed PR
Yesterday I ran my first 10k – the Bayou City Classic 2016. The weather was cool with gusty wind, but once I started running, I warmed up quickly. I felt pretty good early in the race and I ran the first mile without stopping, then ran/walk the rest of the race. I was in the “back of the pack” but the…
3/12/2016: Slow, easy run
Today at the running clinic, we went for a longer run. Some of the runners went over 5 miles. Our coach asked us to run one way for about 22-25 minutes and then come back. With no particular distance in mind, we set out to run along the bayou. I ran with Kathryn who is about my age (actually…
3/8/2016: Used the TomTom for the first time
Tried out the TomTom today on the treadmill. Wasn’t sure how accurate it would be but it seems to work pretty well. I jogged/walked 2 miles in 36:26. Rather slow but I haven’t been feeling 100% the last few days. The interesting thing that the TomTom has that I didn’t know about was the number of strides…
3/6/2016: Bought a TomTom Runner watch
Last night while my hubby and I were running errands – mostly grocery shopping – we stopped by Best Buy. I have been wanting to see the various running watches because I have trouble seeing my progress on my phone when I’m running. Partly because the numbers are so small and I don’t wear my reading glasses when I…
