Speed, not distance

So, on the advise of a 'trainer' I am suppose to be working on short sprints until I get back into the groove and can do distance.
So, I ran at a good clip today. My goal was 15-20 minutes. I intentionally held a pace that kept my breathing labored. This created windedness as I went up the hills but I really wanted to concentrate on keeping a faster pace. I achieved my goal!!

Stats:
1.7 miles
17 mins.
10 min/mi.
6 mi./hr.

NO WALKING!!!!!!!!! I am officially "running"!!

Stroller Power

Mary and I pushed strollers today. It was good...actually alot better than last week when I about laid down on the pavement and gave up. We did 3.3 miles and talked the whole way. I can't even remember what we talked about but jabbering up the hills made them alot more surmountable!! I didn walk some but mostly I ran. Good run!

Stats:
3.3 miles

Am I dead yet??

TOUGH TOUGH run.... I went around a large 4.1 mile loop that was uphill 75% of the last 2 miles. There was a good hill that lasted over a 1/2 mile. It almost killed me. I didn't make it up that hill or any hill after that. I walked quite a bit in the last 1 1/2 miles. I made decent time but was exhausted and completely spent by the time it was over!!

Stats:
4.1 miles
47 min.

short sprint

Today was not a run day but I ran 1/2 mile while waiting for Mary to get to the Y to do weights.
I did pretty good. I knew that I didn't have much time and so I thought I would run short but faster.
Went pretty good.

Stats:
.57 miles (a little over a 1/2 mile)

Holy Crap!!

Mary and I ran today for 30 minutes with the stroller. I thought I was going to DIE!! Just pass out and give up the ghost. We ran the 1.7 loop and then went a bit farther. It is very good that Mary can encourage me to go farther because I was "kicking and screaming" the whole time!!

Stats:
