Too-Windy Tuesday

So today, I woke up and decided that it was indeed too windy to run outside. I know that I am trying to maintain consistency, but I also don't want to get swept away and lost foreverrrrrr!

Today started off as usual with my 3 miles. Obviously I ran on the treadmill. My goal for when I am running is to have a pace within 8 minutes. I know for longer runs, it is more difficult, but if I don't have a goal, then I think I would always keep a slower pace. So, anywho, I ran at 7 mph which is a 8:34 min per mile pace. One reason I hate running inside at LA Fitness is because it feels like they keep the heat on in that place, so when I am done, I am literally drenched in sweat. Which actually makes me feel like I am having a better workout, but I guess there really is no pleasing me.

Tomorrow is 6 miles. I hope to get up early and knock it out of the park :D I think I am going to work out after. Oh, update. Running is good for several things 1. the obvious physical aspect 2. the obvious health aspect but one of the best is 3. the mental aspect. Running has really allowed me to meditate to myself, clear my head and allow me to think. In doing so, I have clarified what my length descriptions are. ANything over 7 miles I am deeming as a "long run" and anything under is a "short run". I can finish 7 miles in about an hour, so this week is a "short run" week until Saturday... 12 MILES!!! Im totally ready for it too!

Thanks again to all who have been reading this. I am glad to be sharing my experiences with you, shout out to Michelle!! Now, get off the computer and go run!!!

Until the next run,
cody!
