Metabo journal

Woke up early this morning to run before work, a strong display of will power since I like sleep more than I like Mexican food. The run was smooth, and I would have gone longer if I didn't have to go to work. The new morning routine will hopefully allow me to run consistently once night classes begin in the fall semester.

Walked 3 miles with Arby this evening.  

Ran 3 miles on the indoor track, followed by 1 bike sprint, 100 crunches, 50 obliques, 20 bicep curls. I was inspired by the magical sentence that my workout partner said to me this afternoon..."You look like you've lost weight." (What a sweet girl!)  All joints felt smooth through the entire run and I feel like I have improved my endurance. Recently, at the end of every run I could go longer but have to quit because I need to be somewhere. Soon I plan to run as long as possible to see how far I can go. The pace was slow, but I'll gradually go faster.

Blogging from Boise...I ran 5.02 miles this morning (the furthest ever)! Rarely do I have an open-ended time slot to run like I did today, and let me say that it was much more comfortable than trying to squeeze running in before or after work. I always tend to run better in Boise, maybe because the elevation is 2640 ft, almost 700 ft below Lubbock. My average pace was 10:26 and the total time was 52:20. Pretty good for me! 

During the run I got to see an elementary school fire drill followed by their recess. There was a bright red-headed little boy playing football that reminded me of a little Arby.
