going for a run

so I finally made it for a run today when going to Hagerman. i started out with the plan to run from the house to brenda henslee's drive way which is a little over two miles from the house so my run would have been a little over 4 miles. What I really ran was from the house to highway 30 and back a little ways. I ran into mom here and she gave me a ride home where I used the restroom then went out again. This time I ran to the stop sign, down around the powerplant and back to the stop sign then home. The first half of the run I went of I walked alot more then the second half of the run. now i definately need to do some stretching because I can feel my legs tightening up. Until tomorrow when I do water aerobics and swimming. I also want to try and get another run in.

amazing workout

I had an amazing workout yesterday in my swimming class. We are in the time of class where we make our own horouts to turn in. Usually we don't get to do those workouts because glen has workouts for us but yesterday was a make-up day so I got to do the workout that I made. So here was the workout...
200m warmup
10x25m sprints w/ 10 sec break
5x50m drill sets
300m kickboard set
200 cooldown
I did the entire workout and then some...the very end of the kickboard sets and part of the cool down with the flippers. Then I still felt ok so I just kept swimming with the fins. I don't know how many laps I did but it was at least 10 more laps. Then I finished by swimming a 100m backstroke. I was very tired and very hungry after the workout but it was totally worth it. Until next time...

finally I get outside

I feel like I have been stuck inside for days. For the most part it has been beautiful these last few weeks. I feel like I have been cooped up in the house for days. Sometimes I feel like I am on babysitting duty staying with grandma now. All my nieces and nephews behave better then grandma with not doing things they aren't supposed to do. So I have feeling extremely cooped up so today I was finally able to go running. this afternoon she was sitting down and watching a movie so I went for a run. I went from the house down dorm drive to the road that goes to stadium. From there I went down to Hankins road, down Falls and back down college to finish out my run. It was so pretty there was a slight breeze and it was a little chilly but not enough to need a jacket. If felt fabulous to be out there again. I figure I will keep that route and then add onto it from there. I don't know how far of a distance it was but I hope it was about 2 miles. Tomorrow I will have to drive the route and clock the distance to know how far the start point is. Until later.
