1/30/12 - Mission Parking Lot
Treadmill =/= Road
I can math.
I made an attempt today to run in the parking lot. I got home from work, it was still light, and it was 60 degrees (in January). I'm still feeling the burn about 20 minutes later. It's funny how running on a treadmill so poorly relates to running irl (in real life; aka - non-treadmill). I started off way too fast, and it was colder than I thought, even at 60. I wasn't 200 meters in before I started slowing down and gradually dying.
I ran a whole lap around the parking lot, which I think is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 mile. I did not time - something that was accidental, but I am now quite happy about.

I was correct in my previous entry. I tried to run a 10 minute mile, and I hate myself. "I CAN RUN ALL THE WAYZ" was correct, and I did finish in 10 minutes, but I about keeled over afterwards.
Due to wedding activities, I get a sneaky suspicion that running will be sparse the next few days.
Also a sad note. One of my songs the other day was "Cherish the Rain" by Even Heroes. Even Heroes is a band whose bass player is a member of the Alter Bridge forums. I had followed them for so long, listening to all of their music, and then sort-of forgot about them for a couple years.
I looked them up today, just to see if there was anything new. Come to find out they disbanded in 2010. Sad day.
MUSIC:
A Thousand Faces - Creed
Radio Ga Ga - Queen

1/25 Evening
1/25/12 - Mission Fitness
I have the most confusing body in all mankind. The other day I was struggling to hit a mile. Today I ran for 22:30 straight. 1.85 miles (12 minute mile pace).
I think something that helps is setting "Stopping Goals." For instance, at around 15 minutes, I said to the person living in my head "I'll stop after this song." Then it was, "I'll stop at 20 minutes." Then finally it was, "I'll stop at the end of this song." I finally stopped, but I probably could have justified finishing that second mile.
Ah well, still good.
Knowing my body, the next time I run I'll be all, "IMA RUN ALL THE WAYZ." I'll get to about the 5 minute mark and pass out on the treadmill.
MUSIC:
10 Years - Fix Me
Styx - Fooling Yourself
Journey - Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'
Alter Bridge - Make It Right
Even Heroes - Cherish the Rain

First Two Runs
Sunday, 1/22/12 - Mom & Dad's House
Was initially going to go for a 10 minute mile, but increased the time after about 2 minutes to a 12 minute mile. Dem leg and side cramps. 11:35 ish mile.
I'm out of shape.

12 Minute mile pace. I ran for about a minute, then had to pee, so I started over. After running, I did some arms and legs, but Miss Kimbot was still biking. Sucked it up and ran another 4:30 at about a 13 minute mile pace.
As a note to self, my goal is to run a 7 minute mile, as well as run a full 5K without stopping. Obviously, not at the same time. I'm ambitious, not crazy.
Music:
The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater
Believe - The Mayfield Four
