I Did It

I finally ran the Chicago half marathon. I ran it at time short if two hours. I came in twelfth in my division, kids ages thirteen to fifteen. I had a great time. I placed a little over three thousandth place against eleven thousand people.

Almost there

5 DAYS AWAY

hi

I ran 12 miles last Saturday, And am cutting my weekday runs down to 4 miles. Not, the usual 5 to 8 miles. I am gonna run another 12 miles this Sunday.

Sorry I have not been Blogging

I am sorry I have not been blogging lately, I was busy with other things. Last Sunday, I ran 8 miles. Today I ran about ten and a half miles in the rain. I felt great running a long distance. I can't wait for the half marathon. 

Recent Runs

I am about to go on a two mile run now , that short because of the heat. On Saturday I ran 8 miles and I was off Sunday. I ran about 4 miles on Monday with the Notre Dame XC team. I will try to keep blogging as often as I remember.

A Lot to Blog About

Sorry I have not been blogging in a long time. I just sort of forgot and put it off when I remembered. A week after I got my teeth pulled (see last post) I went to the foot doctors for some problems with my foot. The stuff the doctor put on mad my foot hurt really bad so I wasn't able to run for three days. I ran a 5k last Sunday in 20 minutes with a bad foot. I am going to run another on the 23rd. I have also been running with the NotreDame HS Cross Country team. Let's start out with today. Today I ran 7.5 miles. I felt pretty good. I was off Friday. On Thursday I ran about 8 800 meter sprints each 3 minutes apart with the NotreDame Cross Country team. On Wednesday I ran a mile because I was out of town. I was off on Tuesday. On Monday I ran five miles. On Sunday I ran the 5k.

I Have Not Been Running

The reason I have not been blogging is because I have not beeen running. The reason. I have not been running is because I recently have had mouth surgery.  Five teeth pulled. Two rotated upright. And if that is not enough, surgically remove the impacted tooth. For those of you who think they can though that all out, I had tissue in my removed. Hopefully I will be running by Tuesday.

Sry

Sorry I have not been blogging lately. I was busy and sort of forgot. I an the mile in gym today and beat the school record with a time of 5:27. I didn't even break a sweat. That is good and bad. I could have ran faster I guess, but it means my training is helping.

Yesterdays Run

I ran six miles yesterday. It was beautiful outside. I hope all eleven people who were hospitalized at the Chicago Half Marathon are ok.

Sorry

Sorry, I did not blog yesterday. I ran four and a half miles. It is hard running in the hot weather. Fun Fact:There is no fun fact this week.

Once Again

Once again, I am sorry I have not been blogging lately. I was busy. I ran five and a half miles on Monday and two miles yesterday. I ran three and a half miles today. I felt great running. I promise I will blog tomorrow. I am planning to run seven miles tomorrow.

Fun Fact Friday

Sorry I have not been blogging for the past couple of days. I kept getting a screen that said "Blogger is temporarily unavailable." I had a Track and field meet yesterday, I came in  third by less than a hundredth of a second. FUN FACT:I don't like to sleep.

Sunday

I ran a good two and a half miles today. Tomorrow I am going to run two miles. I am not going to run on Tuesday because I have a track meet on Wednesday. I am hoping to win the races on Wednesday and win in the City.

Fun Fact Friday

I ran four and a half miles today. It is beautiful outside. I haven't ran that far in a few months. 13.1 here I come. Fun Fact: I do not watch that much t.v. It is weird that I listen to talk radio more than watching t.v.

Todays Run

I ran three miles today. I felt good running further than usual. I am going to start kicking it up this week and next. I am hoping to run four miles this upcoming Monday.

Track Meet Today

I had an area track meet today and ran the 800 meter and 400 meter races. I came in first place in the 800 meter race and how I did in the 400 is unknown.I do know that I came in first in my heat on the 400 meter.

Marvelous Monday

What was marvelous about today? I had a great time running. It felt good running three miles after not running a long distance in a long time.

Mile Run

Today I ran only a mile. I wanted to see how fast I could run one. I was disappointed with a time of 6:08. My fastest mile was 5:48.

Track Meet Today

 I got FIRST place in the 800 meter run and FIRST place in the 400 meter dash. I feel great. Have a great weekend

Todays and the Upcoming Runs

I just ran two and a half miles. It is so hot and humid here in Chicago. I feel like I just took a shower. I realized I won't be able to run on Friday because I have a track and field meet. I will be running the 400 and 200 meter races. I will tell you how well I did.

Excited

I am excited. 13.1 miles. Can't wait

Pain in the Neck

Today, I ran two and a half miles. It felt good running because my last run was on Thursday. My last run should have been on Saturday. I woke up Sunday morning with a pain in my neck. It didn't go away, and I am still in a lot of pain. It was a pain in the neck to run today. This is a little fun fact: I LOVE BANANAS. They prevent cramps when you run.

Why I dislike today

I did not run. I felt a little lazy.

Todays run

I ran two and a half miles today. It felt great running out in the warm weather. I do not run tomorrow, but I am going to run five miles on Friday. On saturday I was planning to run three miles.

Great day Running

I ran 2 miles today out in the beautiful weather. It was so nice outside, not to hot or too cold. Tomorrow, I will take the day off, Happy Easter!

My schedule

I am so excited to get started with the training. I start training on May, 1. My schedule is about twenty weeks long, more than enough to reach thirteen miles. My first day of "official," scheduled training starts with 1.5 miles. I may change that because it is pretty short for me. On Fridays I aggressively increase my distance.
