Digg! this story.
I’ve been active for one week now. Since my half marathon at the beginning of November 2008, I’ve barely done anything! I don’t know why I go into exercise hiatus after I have a big run, but I always have.
Since I’ve been thinking of exercising for 3 months, I’ve finally done something about it. Last weekend, I went out for a walk around the neighborhood. A couple of days later, with a kid on my back, I hiked the neighborhood once again. On Thursday, I took my first class at The Dailey Method. Oh, yikes, it kicked my ass and I was about 3 minutes into the 60 minute class. I am not kidding! This was an amazing workout. I didn’t want to lose all of the benefits of that workout, so a couple of days later (Saturday morning) I went out for a run in the neighborhood. My neighborhood is VERY HILLY! I didn’t think I’d be able to run for the whole time, but I did. My body is so forgiving! 
Yesterday, because I was feeling so good about staying active for the week, I dragged the family out to the pool. I only swam a few laps (maybe 10 tops), but it was nice to stretch out and be in the pool after so long!
I wanted to try to get to a 6am class at our downtown Dailey Method Studio this morning, but I couldn’t figure out how to sign up for a class online late last night. (It’s an excuse, I know, but I couldn’t bear dragging myself to the class this morning and them turning me away because there wasn’t a space open in the class!) So, I’m going to call today and sign up for tomorrow morning. If I can get myself to that class 2 or 3 times a week, I will look and feel fantastic.
And truthfully, who doesn’t want more energy!

Ran 3 minutes walked 1 minute per Stephanie’s schedule.
I needed an easy run…I’ve been much too tired, crampy, and edgy lately.

I can’t believe it! 7:30/mile pace. That just doesn’t seem right. Are you guys sure this calculates average pace correctly?
I ran the first 4 miles at 37:47:36 and kicked it up a notch on the way back. It started off great. I tried not to head out too fast. I was at a steady 10 minute per mile pace for the first mile and a half. Then, I broke away from DK and ran at a comfortable steady pace to mile 4. When I turned around, I wanted to keep up my comfortable pace and start to play with speeding it up a bit. I was following these 2 girls (they were a bit ahead of me and knew nothing about my stalking:). I kept them in sight for about 2.5 miles and then the shot off to finish at a much faster pace than I was willing to match.
I finished with an elevated heart rate. It was tough, but I’m so glad that I pushed through. I’m very proud of myself. I just don’t want this to be my best run. I’d like to save that for the race:)

Ran on the treadmill in Reno. Started at 2 incline, but it felt really tough, so I brought it down to 1. It was a hard, hard run, so I did it nice and easy.

Got lost a few times as I ran the 6 mile route from the Nike SF Run team. Didn’t run with them. I just tried to follow the map from their website. It was a nice run. I explored a few new views of the city that I had never seen before.
I felt great. I’m still feeling great today (a day later!)
