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 =)

flushed red face

I don't seem to get red anywhere else when I run--just on my face. *sigh* too many blood vessels going to my head, I'm afraid.
3.1 mi, 34 minutes

morning jog on an empty stomach

I used to go jogging in the morning before breakfast with Shelly all the time, but it's been awhile since I got up early to go...
And so, I'm afraid I couldn't get the strength or willpower to jog for very long:
jogging 1 mi, 12 minutes *sigh* but i'll try not to be too hard on my body; it needs recovery.
elliptical, 30 minutes
