Interval Training

Running between powerlines and the river, great for a storm!
The running is going well. Lately I've taken up interval training on the 6th mile. Maybe last time was overdoing it a bit. I took a day off because my calves are tight. Just going up stairs gives me a "charlie horse".

Running up that Hill
So far I have now run up that %&## hill twice! In the spirit of full disclosure, I had to stop at the top to catch my breath...

The Hill

Every up hill must go down, right??!
This is the most difficult part of the run. I can almost run up the whole thing but it is pretty much the only place I walk during the route.
Today was a slow start, some excuses + a demotivating scale. But I got out there with the support of my husband. Ran a bit slow today and walked a little more than yesterday, but I still think I got a good work out. Still did the 6 miles, so I'll call it a success.
Going to the river this weekend with some longtime friends. Will probably have to start all over Monday. Such is life, or such is the good life ;)

Just Doing It....
Iphone photoI started running several months ago on an old treadmill. Somehow it's design only allows for it to be slightly inclined. During this time I tried to just be able to stay at a run for 30 minutes. It seemed that every day was up and down. I was happy if I did 2.5 miles. Then one day I decided to take a run outside from my house to the river and back. I did not know how far or long it was. I only knew that it felt like a very decent run. I got home and saw that I ran 1 hour and 20 minutes. Then I mapped it at mapmyrun.com and found that I ran 6 miles. (well ok walked about 1 mile of it.) Ever since, I have been running 6 miles every day or every other day now for about 2 weeks. And walking very little, only on the hill that is straight up. It feels great. Still I'm a slow runner. But I'm happy just to say I'm doing it. The new shoes made such a difference on my knees and toes. I feel I could go on doing this for a while. I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning... :)
