Very tough, very slow day. Ran in ABQ 10:30 miles, cold, sleepless, out of breath, and hurting, then finished off walking a lot at the airport and shopping. Left knee hurts

10 slow, 2 slower, 2 very slow (walked). Heart problems again. This whole ten miles a day thing may be a bust...other priorities. I will do the best I can though, putting it in NOT first place on de ole Priority List.

So I basically caught up today. If I run 6 tomorrow, I will have 50 for the week. Somehow I am getting out of shape though. And two-a-days are gone bye-bye...yup. Being in Arizona is keeping me a lot busier than I thought. And my fam is coming tonight so I won't want to leave them to run tomorrow, maybe I will get up early to study.

 I am so sore! And I realized my comfort level is about 10:34 miles. Although I haven't figured out how to get the heart monitor to work with the Garmin yet. I think I need a software reinstall. 

 Oh, I did run one hundred yards pretty fast...it was this dog....

Struggling big time with two issues: heart (neurocardiogenic syncope, don't ask), and TIME. Taking a class I paid big money for and am slower....I'm behind and trying to spend all the time I can on it. 

But I got out there today. A little.

Treadmill. Heart stuff. Wild blood pressure fluctuations today, from way too low to way too high. I should probably just sleep while it is low instead of trying to bring it up, but I would never get anything done besides running...

Went out to go 10, slow, even though I didn't really have time. I registered for Boston; it didn't make sense I didn't "have time". But I only made it 4.95 because little brother picked me up and took me, (make-up-less and sweat covered), to lunch. It was all good. I was tired, too tired, as per usual lately.

Like my mile accuracy? I want to get every point in; I worked hard for them. Went to gym with little brother and found out what a "runner treadmill" looks like. You don't slip on them! Tired and slow but hey, I've ran every day this week so far. Oh, and Mark....I did check my heart rate at the end and it was like 131 and heading down. I am wondering if I have some block....I don't think it ever goes very high even though I feel very tired.

A good run today. I actually felt better and would have gone further if I wasn't in my intense study mode. I did it in about 9:30 a mile. I've been trying to lean forward a little, land more on the balls of my feet, take smaller stepsm run like a Kenyan, Ryan Hall, the Chi chicks, whatever. Except....aobut 1/10 as fast, ha. But it does help when I get aches and pains. Much easier on the joints, although it requires different movement, different fitness. What do you do?

gym, low motivation. Should mix it up, maybe do some weights, core stuff, etc. I know. I'm bad at that. Hopefully it's just that all my mental energy is towards studying so none left for running? Less than two weeks to go, no matter what.

I just have to say I ran. It wasn't much, but it was glorious, didn't hurt and I wasn't that horrible heart tired. My heart did great. I haven't felt that good on a run since months before Boston last year. I know I haven't been running, so we will see. But I'm taking advice and pushing on through. Only one more week to go on the studying binge, then I can focus on running as my hobby thing again for a few months. Heck who am I kidding? Running a hobby??!?!

A very fun study break. I looked up, it was getting dark, and I was gone. Arizona rocks.
