Back in the Saddle Again! After a whole week of slacking off, I decided I better run this morning. I did 5.1 miles in 45 mins. It left really nice out!!!

Good morning everyone!

***Added***

Tonight I convinced my husband to do a short run with me. We did 2.52 miles in 22 minutes. :o) I wore him out. The first mile he was running faster then slower and acting goofy. By mile 2 he was quite and breathing really hard. At the end, we had a good laugh at ourselves.

After you have a break from running you get that guilty uneasy feeling huh!? I wont be able to run for a while but Ill keep bugging you guys that can! lol

From Camille on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 09:56:28

Oh yes... the guilt definitely set in. But, Melanie was nasty sick this weekend, so it was better that I spend time with her. Please, bug away. It keeps me going!

Hey, I have a 5-K coming up on November 8th. What do you think is a realistic goal for me?

From walter on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 10:40:30

You should set a goal for 30 seconds off your pr and if you can remember your mile split times, try running 10 seconds per mile faster. You can do it!

From Camille on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 11:14:18

I have no idea what my splits are because I don't run with a watch. I swear I need to get one. If I get a watch, will I run the risk of becoming even more of an adict?

What are you using for time? An hourglass, a sundial? Do you ask strangers?

You're running sub-9s for 5. You should definitely make your sub 27:00 5k now!

From Camille on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 12:17:08

a giant hour glass :o) Like the one in Wizard of Oz!

Actually, I look at the clock on my way our the door and then again when I get back home. It's not the most accurate thing in the world, but it gives me a good idea of my time. So, my time can be off as much as a minute. I know I need to get a watch, but it really hasn't been the highest priority. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one.

Nice miles and pace! Whooo Hoo!

From Kelli on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 17:40:45

AWESOME!!! Great pace, girlie!

From walter on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 20:23:43

Just a cheap stop watch wrist watch will work Camille! Try running a solid but lighter than all out first mile, then try to maintain that pace for the second and then all out on the third mile.

From marion on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 20:31:15

That does not sound like fun WAlter! Hey- I need some training tips! I am getting slower and slower and slower.

From walter on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 08:41:56

I know Marion, sometimes a second opinion makes me look back and say oh my gosh! What am I doing!? lol Ok Camille, just run a nice fun run and dont think about pain, or hurting just think good thoughts and youll do fine.

From Camille on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 09:12:35

Marion and Kelli - Thank you! It was a nice pace! :o)

Walter - Thank you for the advice. It sounds a lot like what Lybi told me after our 5K. I remember her saying afterward that I didn't look too exhausted so she thought I had more in me. This is probably true, but I've never been a runner before and don't fully understand the idea of running in the puke zone to win a race. hmmm....

From walter on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 09:23:25

Yeah, my coach in H.S. used to say no one has ever died on me from running. But alot of us puked on him!

From Camille on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 09:25:13

and he probably deserved it! I don't know why, because I'm not typically competitive like this, but I want to do really well.

From Kelli on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 12:23:05

I do not believe in running in the PUKE zone until you can see the finish line!

From Camille on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 12:27:12

Kelli - I think I agree with that. Yuck! I hate throwing up!

From walter on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 12:52:03

The Blog team had a nice puke fest at Del Sol this year. Ill have to tell you about it when I get back. Its raining cats and dogs here right now and we are getting ready to take our rental car back. cheers
