Keeping on Track but not Keeping Track

I've lost track of my monthly mileage...oops. I can recreate it with the Garmin sometime. I did run 6 miles this past weekend, and it felt really good. I did 4 miles today and felt great - under 11-minute miles on average. It was cool today, only about 60, and that's my favorite running weather.

Still not motivated, but I'm faking it until I make it, as they say.

Nope.

No running 6 miles this weekend - we were too busy swimming, kayaking, visiting the Children's Museum and seeing Beauty and the Beast in Prospect Park. (Well, we saw the first act, and then packed it in - it was late.)

Trying hard to keep running every day but it's not doing much for me at the moment.

More Miles

Nine weeks until Leaf Peepers and I am still firmly unmotivated. I will do my best to run 6 miles this weekend and see if I can jump-start the mojo.

Three-ish miles today and three-ish yesterday. I am out there, just not "training," per se.

The Power of Naked

Friday night we took my older daughter to a kids' fun run (1/4 mile). A 5K followed, but I volunteered to help out on the course instead of running. However, the volunteering motivated me to sign up for a local 5K the next morning.

My DH drove me to the registration, and I realized as I got out of the car that I'd forgotten my Garmin. Horrors! How would I possibly run without knowing exactly how fast and far I was going?

Well, as it turned out, I'd run pretty damn well. Under 10-minute miles (I don't know my exact time -- about 30:30, or a bit less) kind of well. (Results aren't posted yet.) I haven't run a 5K that fast since before I had kids.

So...yes, Virginia, it is possible to have TOO MUCH information.
