We Lost Our Conditioning but We'll Get It Back At work, we ran for 20 minutes. I took a little break after 9 minutes for 1 minute and then ran for 11. We walked to fill out a half hour.
Run + Walk It was hot. I had our Disney CoolMax kerchiefs in the freezer but forgot about them when the time came to get dressed. We covered 4 miles. 0.5 K walk 1 K run 0.5 K walk 1 K run 0.5 K walk 1 K run 0.9 K walk 0.7 run 1.6 K walk We added the extra mile for minutes.
In Which Jen Spends a Long Afternoon of Working Out (145 minutes!) Ro and I started earlier today at 3. It was supposed to be our first treadmill workout of the season but it was windy so we went back outside. We did the usual set of intervals, no pee breaks, 55 minutes.
Deadly Ol Workout I barely rememeber this workout, so here goes. Rolene and I went on campus at 4 ish. We did the usual interval system with a bathroom break and 4.2 km took 53 minutes. Nothing exciting to report. It had rained earlier but all that coolness was over by 4.
I Lost My Sweatband I have no idea where I lost my pink sweatband during our run yesterday. We run around campus, but not on the part of the campus where students walk, but rather drive away from campus. We did two more laps after the one where I lost my headband and no, it was nowhere to be found. So that's [0.6 km walking + 1 km running] x 3 = 4.8 km total It was hot. That was enough.
Saturday Sundown Run I met Rolene on campus at 4:30 and we [walked 0.6km, ran 1km] x 4 = 6.4 km of travel. We felt great at the end.
We're Wicked We ran at 430 which was a little cooler than at 3 but still...it's the Middle East. 0.5 K walk, 1 K run 0.4 K walk 1.1 K run 0.5 K walk 1 K run But we chatted the whole time. We're wicked.
Major Christian Holidays Don't Stop Us In Mu'Min Land Rolene called at 855 am to cancel our 930 run today but then later on (like 1 pm) she texted back to see if I wanted to run at sundown. I did. We began our run just after 5 pm and we were still going when the maghrib call to prayer started at 550. (It gets dark early on the Tropic of Cancer.)
Hot Hot Hot Oh yeah. It's still hot. Our run today was hard and we did a nice bit of walking.
The Heat Is On We're back on the street and the heat is on. Rolene got a camelback so she was all rearing to go, but I was so tired! We did roughly two laps with an ample walk break in there, and it was hard...and hot. We went inside and got some water and Rolene convinced me to go one more lap by bribing me with Reese peanut butter eggs from Canada.
Forerunner Dan lent me his Garmin Forerunner but I forgot to bring it on the first lap, and I had no idea how to use it, so whatever. Including the stop to get the damn thing, I think we covered 4.2K. We forgot to time ourselves, I think (even with the Forerunner, I know). It was a pretty good run.
Very Short Run We ran on campus afetr work. We'd bother had larger lunches but we think it was the heat, rather than the lunch that made us hate the whole thing. It was 33°C at 3:30. We ran only 2.2 K. But I know the true meaning of stifling.
Weekend Run We ran this morning on campus as usual. We did 4.2K with a pee break around the 2.6K mark. It felt hot even though it was only 25°C. I'll add the time later when I get it off my iPod. TIME: 36:30 (this is consistent with our race)
Longest Run We ran the longest run we ever ran. 5.8 K. The weather is still good, so we took advantage. This took 52.5 minutes, and that is pretty much the whole Master Of Puppets album.
Run In The Rain (Almost) The sky was dark when Rolene and I started running. It's too bad I had yoga because we could have kept running. We hardly sweated. We completed 2 miles in half an hour, and watched the lightning. I went to yoga; I skipped the headstands but I still worked hard for over 70 minutes.
U Can't Touch Us Our run was not great. We stopped to take a water break, the stopped to take a pee break, then thought we'd complete one last mile but couldn't. So our total run distance was 3.45 K. We think we are going faster. It took us three plays of U Can't Touch This to get around the college so we might be moving at 7.5K/h if that's true and that's almost respectable.
Short Run It was hot and humid today so we decided to use Rolene's Honda Jazz, Trevor, for a water station. We ran from cousin-mike corner to Trevor and stopped for water (1K approximately), then we ran a full lap, back to Trevor (1.6K). So we came up a bit short today, but it felt good mostly.
It's Getting Hot Out Therre Rolene and I ran 2 miles, and I nearly died, as the temperature climbs steadily.
