Run Jenny Run Day 20 and 21

5K Training day 20 and 21: So I didn't write about last Friday it was really hard I was pushing myself really hard and it was hot and my shoes didn't fit right and I couldn't finish the interval the way it was written. I ended up with a blister on my Instep and it hurt and I was really I went to Belly Dance again on Saturday and was having such a good time I stayed for a second class. Unfortunately my body isn't used to that much hip movement and my right hip was so soar. I wish I could say that this is the reason I didn't run on Sunday but honestly I just didn't want to and we went and walked around three stores. I just didn't want to do it I find that I am fighting it all the time. There is less than a month now till the race and I just don't think I will be able to run the whole thing I am still not even getting two miles with what I am running currently and that is discouraging. I did however get back on the treadmill tonight and ran 25 minuets non stop for the first time. So there you go that is where I am at any ideas at motivation would be appreciated. Thank you all for your support.

5K Training Day 19: Week six strikes back. I have been really struggling the last few weeks. Sick for one and then last week I only ran once. I did walk once and go to a belly dance class but I didn't run. The 5K is one month from today so I need to get back on track and so today I got back on the treadmill. 35 min Top speed 4.0 and a total of 1.8 miles. Here we go one month left I need your support.

Run Jenny Run Day 18

5K Training day Day 18: Beginning of week 6. Got sick last week and had to take some time off running, back on track today. Did run walk intervals totaling 35 minuets. i don't know the mileage due to my towel knocking off the magnetic dohicky thingy and restarting everything. It went well for not having run in a week . Glad to be back on track and I actually think I missed it a little last week, a little ... :)

Run Jenny Run Day 16

5K Training Day 16: Out at the Trail again today intervals were run 8 min walk 5 run 8 with a warm up and a cool down. there were tons of butterflies out on the trail today and if you know me you know I love butterflies! Every time I would pass one while I was running I would give it a little voice cheering for me saying "way to go Jennette! and You can do it ! I made them in to my own personal cheering section. Just as Sam called time there was a bunch of cotton falling around us and in my mind it was a ticker tape parade from the universe to celebrate. Silly? A little but this is what goes on in my head and I really liked my cheering butterflies :) We did a total of 35 min at 11 am it was warm and in that time I got sun burnt. Tomorrow night I do my first 20 min straight run. Wish me luck!

Run Jenny Run Day 15

5K Training Day 15: Beginning of week 5 - I am at a loss for words tonight. Rotation of 5 minuet runs and three minuet walks. I psyched my self out half way through the middle 5min run and walked for 30 seconds but did the first and third runs with effort but ran the whole time. It really is a mind game. It didn't help that the only thing on TV was 321 Penguins. If you know what that is well.... yeah. I do have a penchant for kids shows but it is not very motivating to run too. I am now watching Babar. I had a hard time today. Not getting started but keeping going. I did keep going but there were two breaks one after the first minuet to use the WC and the other one I already mentioned. I am thinking of repeating this interval, but may be not.
