I am back!

I was finally able to get back to my running this morning and although I felt I had a good run, the Garmin tells otherwise. The only thing I can say is that I was having trouble with the HR monitor and kept trying to mess with the watch to get it back on track.  My HR was measuring between 50's to 120's. Well, that is way off and I wonder if the problem was that the battery was low or did I needed to snug up the strap?

Today, I will post what Missy gamin says..but I will not pay any attention to the splits. I was not running 12 min miles. I have been running long enough to know when I am having a good run and when I am having a better run.

I will not dwell on these numbers because  I had a good run!

Monday's Run

What a beautiful morning...50 degrees at the start,  slight breeze,  mind in the right place..life is good!
I need to be accountable for my runs so I have to come up with a training plan that will sustain my interest for the next 10 months.  During this mornings run, I decided to find find a local 1/2 that I can run during the end of spring or beginning of summer.

I am so behind!

I am behind on my training and only have one run completed this week.  I had every intention on running this morning but after waiting a while for it to warm up, then deciding I needed to  check some items off the Christmas list, by the time I returned home the wind was blowing like a sun of a gun.

I am a slacker and now that I have put it into writing, I need to do something about it. Tomorrow is Church then a dance lesson. Hopefully, I can get a run in tomorrow but we will not get home until two or three and then it will be time to make dinner....................

I need to make a training schedule and put it on the fridge so I will be held accountable...I was doing so good then have blown it the last few weeks!  I could blame the holidays but that does not set well in my mind. So for now, I will just say I am a slacker and need to get my butt in gear!
