Today was just a quick run. Make it a three way 2 miler! Hahah Dara joined Marielle and I on a quick run.
I don't have much to say other than I'm happy to have completed a full mile without walking one bit! I know we can do more!!
Marielle has this crazy idea about me waking up before sunrise to run...I am determined to gradually wake up earlier. When it comes time for the 6 am race I'll have worked my way up to waking up early. For now..until after the holidays...I'll run at 9 am!
Short run = short blog.
XOXO

Tired....
Well, I've been at it again....LAZY!
Ran today tho with Marielle. Our first run together! 3.75 miles in 42 minutes. Ran constant for .90 miles....then Mar needed a walk. She hasn't been doing her training...tsk tsk! But I don't fault her for it. We have our goals and we are sticking to them.
I will post our map. We went the route that I like, and THEN some. I'm glad to have her as my partner for the pure sake that I know she just won't ever give up! It's inspiring when someone says "We can start home...or go longer! Eh, let's take the long route!" Also great, even when we need to walk it out, that she says "we're still going the distance, running or not!"
No music...just good chat! Temperature was warmish...50's. Windy tho! New sneaks are proving to be amazing! Nike cold gear, the same, thank goodness as it's only going to get colder!
Need my routine back! It's been hard to keep. Gotta push! Potentially running tomorrow...and def over the weekend!
For now....bed!

Alright...
I have to admit, I lost motivation for a week there. I got a little lazy and wasn't getting my ass out of bed to run! I need to remember that I'm doing this for myself...no one else! Laziness is only a crap ass excuse! I did, however, continue with yoga for the week, so I wasn't completely useless!
I ran today...and did fabulous! Still in my old sneaks as I am still breaking in my new ones. I'm afraid of switching. I know I need to eventually, just making sure my feet are totally happy with the new ones before completely doing the deed and switching over!
I ran 3.15 miles in 33 minutes. It was a good route, mostly downhill toward the Empire State Building. I ran pretty much all the way into Long Island City. Walked for a very small bit of it...considering I took off a week, I think it was a great success. So far, my fastest run yet!
Ting Tings radio on Pandora today. Good mix of Metric, Modest Mouse, etc. I found this station a bit more fun to run to...I was pushing myself a little harder. Still looking for fun music to run to...but this may be the funnest so far.
I'm in the middle of rolling while blogging. I got a roller for my body, which is exactly like it sounds...a big rolling pin that I can roll out all the knots in my muscles. It's like my very own personal deep tissue massage. Love it!
Going to watch the NYC Marathon tomorrow (Sunday). I went to the location of the finish line yesterday and took pictures. It was inspiring! Don't know if one day I'll be able to run a full marathon...but it will be awesome to cheer all those runners on! 26.2 miles seems crazy...but so does 13.1. I'm determined! I will do this!
110 days, 8 hours, 32 minutes, and counting until race day! Back to my regular training schedule! Maybe an extra run thrown in tomorrow.
We shall see~!!

New sneaks....FTW!
Well...UPS turned out to be my friend yesterday! I was getting very upset with the fact that I usually have to chase down the UPS person to retrieve my packages. I actually have lost several packages to UPS and FedEx due to them just plain old not leaving my stuff! Only yesterday...they came through! I had to leave approx. notes for them to actually leave what I was expecting....MY NEW SNEAKS! I ended up coming home from work yesterday to find a package under my door mat. Ummmm, I question why they put it under the mat, due to the fact that it was a shoe box, but it was here none the less! I didn't get to wear them today because it was raining....can't ruin them on day one!
So, today is Wednesday. I have gone to 2 yoga classes and ran 1 day this week. I'm feeling tighter than usual. Trying to get some sort of loosening up to happen, but it's difficult! I'm seeing my body become a bit stronger, so I guess that's good. Let's see tomorrow how my run goes.
I'm hoping to get some new scenery on Saturday. This running in Queens thing is getting to me. Maybe a trip into the city to either run the Hudson River or Central Park will help. I'm looking forward to Christmas time when I can run in FL! I'm slated to run 9.5 miles on New Years day! Oh boy! At least it will be on flat ground in the place that I love the most!
Aiming for a longer run tomorrow.....still 30 minutes tho!

A bit of delay....
Mike came for the weekend. He's very proud of me and all that I am accomplishing. I'm glad he's such a great support!
I tried to get some running in on Saturday...however, it was hard when we just wanted to sleep in and then go right out and do stuff together! I ended up doing 2 miles in about 27 minutes. I actually ran about 3/4 of it! Less walking for sure!
Got a notice on our door from UPS that I have a package. Wondering if it's my new sneakers or if it's the arm band!
Second day of yoga today. I think I'm going to continue with this place. They have class times convenient to my work and running schedule....so that's what I was looking for.
Haven't been very consistent with my blogging....time to get back with it!!
Annnnd on that note...bed is calling....so I can run my 30 minutes tomorrow!! Hopefully I can fall asleep sooner than later....I don't want to sleep all morning!!
