Well, I didn't want to run because I have myself on a 4 day a week schedule, but I decided after reading info on this web site that I would try the 6 day a week training, so I am adding some more 3 mile days to what I already had planned - I will see how it goes...
Ran 3 in 36 minutes - on treadmill from 4-6 mph, increasing .1 mph/1/mile until I got to 6 and then stayed there 1/4 mile. That was very difficult, but it was higher mph than yesterday. I did 1 hour of yoga after and feel good - so that's what counts! Tomorrow I am to run 5 with 6 minutes uphill, so I will head to the bridge because I live in flat Florida! Also, I lost a pound - every pound decrease will help my speed and I have a few to lose...
Once I get comfortable with this, I can start training smarter, but right now I don't want to get hurt or burned out and I need to lose some weight! |

| | Ran the bridges today X 2 - then flat the rest. Great day to run and I felt GREAT. Cool - 60 and a bit of wind at the top. 12 minute miles still - but considering it is a bridge and I ran the whole thing, I am happy. I must be eating fine with this mostly fruit- veg-protein intake - staying with whoe grains only and not alot of dairy (take D3) and cacium of course. So it goes. |

| | Slept terribly - up with my 17 y. o. daughter - school-related stuff! The run was good - with my friend, Kate, and we played tennis - 3 sets - also. Not the best running day - tired now and want a nap! |

| Race: |
Festival of Lights - Jacksonville (3.1 Miles) 32:32:00, Place overall: 410, Place in age division: 9 | | Night time race with luminaria lined streets - very pretty. Slow beginning - lots of strollers and families/ narrow streets with parked cars made it difficult to negotiate for the first mile. Got better after and I think I did 10 minute or less mile the second mile because my 2 mile time was 21 - 3 mile was 31.50 and final time 32.32. Not my best 5K but not too bad - need to run smarter for these races - just don't know the right strategy. I am trying to lose weight - but I also have to eat! |

| | Long slow run around the harbor - flat, flat, flat. Tomorrow I will run the bridges. I felt good - pushed a bit at the first five and then slower. Did yoga tonight . My knees continue to be inflexible - hopefully this is helping. Staying with a whoegrain, vegetable based diet - trying to keep up the protein - eggs tomorrow for breakfast. |

| | Woke up last night - starving! But did not get up to eat. Wanted to do 8 today but met a friend on the street that I hadn't seen for awhile so stopped to chat. Then it was too late to keep going - so I will have to do the long run tomorrow some time! Yoga has been great and won a doubles match this AM - so plenty of exercise today - also worked in client's garden finishing up with Kim. I should be tired but I'm buzzed - need to calm so i can sleep well tonight... |

To Orlando for Caitlin's concert tomorrow so that's that for running as we leave at 6 AM. I hope the rest of runs I have planned are what I should be doing. Time will tell... |

| | Hanging on here - alot of Christmas distractions and a very hard run today - probably due to unusually high temperature (80) at noontime and slight dehydration... Sunday is the half-marathon so I will hang on! |

| Race: |
jacksonville bank half marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:25:04, Place overall: 877, Place in age division: 12 | | Official time - around 2:25:04 which is 11 minutes faster than the time of the Thanksgiving 1/2 - better this time and as I increase mileage and work on speed, I can feel things getting easier. I found someone I tried to keep up with during the race and it worked - I also tried to keep pace the whoe race, but 5K = 10.10/mile, 10K was 10:30 and finished at 11:11 / mile. |

Nice long run - this afternoon after it cooled down - about 85 at 1 PM. What a whirlwind week - great to get out there today - was feeling like a slug. Fun holiday - tried to eat "moderately" so that meant taste alot of things - but eat small amounts. We will see how it all ends up over the next few days - I have been trying to eat to run and stay with quality protein and grain/veggie-based, no sweets. But that didn't happen yesterday - the sweets part - too much stuff around...
Good thing New Years is around the corner - my running goal is at least 30 miles/week - that 10-15 more than I am doing now, so a bit ambitious, but I know I need to add a day or two -now to do... |
