filling the loneliness...

3 miles, 34 minutes
*sigh* I'm missing Phil a lot and, despite having friends, I feel kind of lonely...luckily, jogging gets my mind off things. so now, I'm sitting here watching embryology video clips (haha...it was hilarious to hear the entire class groan as the sperm penetrated the egg) and waiting for my hair to dry.

*sigh* so much to do and not enough time to do it all

2.7.09: 2.9 miles, 33 min
2.8.09: 1.3 miles, 14 min

I feel like I'm barely keeping my head out of the water every time I look at my schedule of things to do *sigh* so, it's been hard planning exercise into the day when there's a list of material I need to read (i have a pile of articles i still need to get around to reading!), a summer program I need to apply for, and lectures that i need to review. But i think it's normal to fall off the wagon every once in a while...i just need to remind myself that i can get back on =)

I'm jogging outside tomorrow!

2.8 mi, 32 minutes

Yay! The weather has been so beautiful lately that it seems wasteful not to enjoy it, so I'm planning on waking up early and jogging around campus tomorrow--it's about a 4 mile loop, but the latter half of the route is downhill, so it will likely be easier than jogging on the treadmill. I'm hoping to get good enough to run with Ms. Shelly Belly again (I love that she keeps me motivated--if it weren't for her last summer, I would still be catching my breath and stopping after 5 minutes).

I need to schedule my week better!

2.8 mi, 31 minutes
I've finally gotten down to jogging 3 times/week, for about half an hour each time, but I feel like I haven't been able to efficiently use some of my time. I'm planning on using this weekend to get things back on track!

hehe...exercising my brain

so...i haven't been exercising lately. But I guess you could say I've been trying to work out my brain instead, studying about diabetes, cholesterol levels, pancreatitis, and the interrelatedness of it all. okay, okay, I'll stop making excuses and go jogging today!

hmm...

1.7 mi, 20 minutes
I went this morning, and as I was jogging on an empty stomach, I thought about how my glycogen stores were probably depleted and I was using free fatty acids via beta-oxidation to obtain energy. hmm...i should consider loading up on carbs the night before if I plan on jogging in the morning next time.

can't get past 3 miles

3 mi, 35 minutes
My left side got a cramp half-way into my run (likely because I started off a little dehydrated), so my time was slower today. I can't seem to go past 3 miles though--running on a treadmill, in one stationary place seems too monotonous for anything past this 3 mile mark. I'll have to try running outside if the weather looks good tomorrow =)
