apparently I am better at running than blogging, because I haven't blogged in five and a half months but I've been running as much as possible. I try to jog the other way now, start at Old Mill and that way I can run a little farther each time, I"ve gone past the park 3 times now, once to the bench, once to the tree, and this last weekend to a farther tree.
This week however I've had a great breakthrough. Yesterday I ran from King George to Bloor, going down Willard, across to Armandale, then up to Annette and across to Jane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!without stopping!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I ran down Willard to Bloor up Durie and half way up to St Johns on Beresford. (went pretty slow though)
I'm reading a book from the library called Better, Stronger, Faster so I may be changing my routine soon. I play hockey Monday's until the end of June, then I don't know what I"ll be doing. Susan is doing a decathlon! and I told her I would do a 5k with her (no idea why I said that, peer pressure I'm sure), good to have goals right.
oh and there was this other big thing
I quit smoking in February. I"m not sure if that helped my running, or my hockey. I sure got fat so I know that isn't helping. I'm not feeling like I"m so much more winded, not coughing in the morning, and my lungs feel clearer, but I'm not tearing up the ice rink or the run track. But I still know it is best. and am proud of myself.
there updated, once day I can come back and read this and be like oh yeah I remember when I could only run for 15 minutes without stopping!!! (that's how long it took me to run from the old mill to the second tree on Monday. Feel I need to push harder every day, I was a bit sick a couple weeks ago and still feel a little sub par, but still want to push myself, and to do that you have to set the bar, so you can clear it and move up right?
okay now I"m really done
me
