Yesterday I ran for 45 minutes. Did 5 sprints and walked for a while. Today was an easy day and I only ran for 20 minutes. I have started using light weights when I cool down.

Jogged very slowly for one hour. Did 5 sprints approx 15 min. Walked with 5 pound weights for a few minutes. foggy cool day after a very stormy night.

Good run today

Tried out a new podrunner track to listen to while I ran. It's 150bpm's. I ran for 1 hour and walked up and down a long hill, with three pound weights for 30 minutes. Feeling more fit every day. My start time today was 6 A.M.; it is still cool. I'm aiming for even earlier starts as the weather gets more summerlike. Amazing the last days of May and the nights are still cool.

May 23 though 27

Noticed I didn't post. Here is a review of the past week. Thursday I only ran 12 minutes. Friday I ran one hour and 5 minutes. I also ran on Sat, Sun and Monday. Minimun of 25 minutes during each run.

May 28 - today Ran one and one half hours and walked for 30 minutes. Met my goal. It's been a struggle to get back up to this level of conditioning. My overall goal is to run at a slow to moderate speed for 2 hours straight and to run every day even if it is only for 12 minutes.

Beautiful day to get out doors.

Feel good about today's run. I ran for one hour and five minutes. Then I walked for 10 minutes. Good contrast to yesterdays activities which only included a 12 minute run time, but I did walk for approx 45 minutes.

This weeks running:

Monday: Ran 35 minutes - no problems Tuesday: Ran 35 minutes - no problems Wednesday: Ran 46 minutes and walked 12 minutes Good energetic run. Thursday: Ran 12 minutes; walked 50 minutes. Note: stiff tired achy. Up middle of the night because of bad weather. Took a chill pill. Hope to run every day even if it's only a 12 minute or mile run. Picking up the weights again.

Hope I can finally get back into a running routine. Yesterday I ran for 15 minutes. Today I'll run at daylight. No special length of time. The main goal is to get back into the habit of running almost every day. We've had rain - rain- rain...Sometimes I'll run in the rain, but not often.

Ran 37 minutes day before yesterday. Rested a day. Ran 30 minutes yesterday and this morning I hope to get a proper run.

Ran one hour today.

I've had really bad allergies for the past week so I haven't run. Today I ran one hour, no problems. I may run the 5K at Hart Dam this year. It is only 19 days, my training plan is to run one hour every other day. I'm not going to think about it until May 4. Every year I say I'm going to run the race, but I don't do it. The race begins at 8:30 so if the weather is good and I get up early enough; this year I will drive to Hartwell and run the 5K.

Ran 15 minutes. Sore last night so I cut back. Windy and cool. Did a sprint or two.

Ran for 46 minutes. Nice run sunny and warm, but not too hot yet.

Nice Sunny day. I ran 30 minutes. Slow jog.

Ran 45 minutes. Warm enough to work up a sweat. I hope I can keep running almost every day. I can tell I was beginning to lose my conditioning.

I haven't run much this month, but have kept it ups since my last post here in 2010. Since I have computer access again I may be better at keeping a log. Today ran 12 minutes. Temperatures still cold, but it's sunny. Tommorrow I'll run 24 minutes maybe. From this point on I should be able to job consistently and get my time and speed back up. I've gained too much weight. I haven't weighed but my paints are tighter. Won't take long to take it off.
