28 min 3.1 miles (5k)

Ran the Amherst "Turkey Trot" race today with my sister and brother in law. Let my sister set the pace and I'm pretty sure I would have been slower if I hadn't. My brother in law also paced with us until the last 100yards when he stepped it up and beat us by like 15 seconds. It was wicked fun... and my spirits are high, but my legs are wicked achey. I think this was the first time I ran outside in a couple years.

24min 2.1miles

Shoes and Simpsons' "Tree House of Horror" (the first one with "the raven" at the end) Was very much tempted to stop after 2 simpsons shorts (of 3) but the raven one started and I had to keep going to see it.

19min 1.8miles

Might be doing a 5k in a week, so I put the tread mill into the "distance mode" today with 3k (1.8mi) and mixed up some comfortable pace with some faster pace stuff (my fast pace is like 6.5mph, comfort=5mph)

Really wiped afterwards.

Wore shoes, but no simpsons.

10min 0.8miles

No shoes, no TV, no simpsons. Lego was nearby though.

15min 1.3miles

No TV on the treadmill, listened to VH1 I'm pretty sure. Hard to watch the big basement TV as it's off to the left. Ran with shoes - did some 6.5MPH time reps (like 100 steps per)

8 min, 0.5 Miles

Ran a half mile with my 5yr old daughter Anna this morning. It was a youth program in VT that my nieces were doing, so we did it too. Anna did awsome, ran the whole way. Fell early on so was close to last, which was a problem becuase we came into the finish alone and everyone cheered like crazy which freaked her out. She was only freaked for a few min, and I think she'll run again. We brought a cowbell to cheer the other racers... pretty fun. I'm thinking about helping with a similar program in NH.

24min 1.8miles

Wore shoes today on the mill, most others barefoot. Right calf hurting most of the time, not just during run, not worse when running. Watched "Bart gets an F"

10min 0,8miles

A quick run with the kids playing in the basement. Kinda just started and should have probably taken the day off - but I want to get into a habit.

24min 1.8mi

Was revieing my 43things.com list and realzied I had nothing better to do than running, so I plopped in Simpsons' "Principal Charming" and hit the treadmill.

23 min 1.4 miles

Got the DVD player working on top of the treadmill and spun a simpsons' episode. Time flew by. I've got a goal of being able to run a 5k... holpefully this year. Not sure how to train for it - I know I could run 5k right now, but I need a pace goal I suppose.
