Because W had plans for later today, we met early to run. She was without dogs because she came straight from work, so it was just the 3 of us. We did 3 miles in 32:25, a 10:48 m/m. We both thought it was hard but maintainable and just slightly out of our comfort zone - it probably was technically a 'tempo' run. I managed to stay upright the whole time and the trail was blessedly lightly populated - no loose dogs. Weather was beautiful - sunshine, breezy and high sixties. Can't get any better than that. Gonna keep working on getting that time down though. We will get faster yet.
Tomorrow we are heading out to Green Lakes to watch the triathlon. I am so so happy, happy beyond belief, that I am not doing it this year :-) My weekend run will be Sunday morning - probably a slow 3.5/4 miler with Cosmo - Bridg is out of town this weekend :-(

Pfffffffftttttttttttttttttttt!!!
I started running in 2003. I have ran numerous races, completed two sprint triathlons. What has this gotten me? Am I faster? Nope. Thinner? Nope.
Since my return from my little, two week long, self-imposed running-in-bad-weather boycott in April, I have studiously avoided timing myself.
Today, the scheduled run was to be 2.75, at the park with our three running mates (one human, two dogs). A call early this morning informed me we would be running alone as the human stepped on a nail yesterday, was sore, and visiting the doctor today.
I decided to run 3. And I decided to time it.
When we got to the trailhead, Cosmo didn't want to leave the parking lot. He kept stalling and looking around for the rest of the group. Sorry bud, I am all you got today. He wasn't happy.
As usual, first quarter mile consisted of both a pee and a poop break (for Cosmo - not me). When I reached the distance marker, I looked down.....Holy slug-a-moley, Batman. 3:46. Yep, a 15 m/m pace. Even with the breaks......I was stunned and a little downhearted. Why not freaking walk? But we continued on and stopped looking at the watch. We ended our 3 miles with a time of 35:49. Thank goodness for being a shade under a 12 m/m. Over a 12 m/m pace would have been a real blow especially since I felt I was working my a$$ off.
When I first started running, I thought to myself, all I wanted was to be able to go out, run 3 miles in 30 minutes. I didn't think it was asking much. 4 years later, I still haven't done it. My fastest 5k race time was 31:59 - a 10:20 mile. That was 2 years ago and I haven't gotten close to my 10 m/m since. And, I am beginning to think that result might be bogus because it was an uncertified race and in recent years the course (a different one than the one I ran, but still.....) has been short.
Monday - 2.75
Wednesday - 2.75
Friday - 3
Saturday - subbing for the run group at the Y. We will do 8 minute run/2 minute walk for 4 times. I hope I can keep up with the beginner runners. If you think I am joking, just recheck those times above.
I will not have the opportunity to run again until probably Thursday as I am going out of town for a few days starting Sunday. I am heading to NYC to move my daughter into her new apartment. I am sure I will have lots of stories from that - it is a 6th floor walkup and it is just her and me doing the moving.
I got The Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose out of the library. So did Bridg. She is thinking about doing it to improve her health. I am thinking about doing it to lose weight. Goodness knows my calorie counting routine isn't working :-)

Run Report
Monday and Wednesday - 2.5 miles. I am running with a friend and her dogs who aren't used to going much farther. We are gradually going to increase their distance.
Friday - 2.75 miles, just myself and Cosmo
Saturday will be 3/3.5 miles (slow) at the park. I will decide at the turnaround which distance we will do, depending on temperature.
Next week M/W/F will all be 2.75 miles.
Not keeping track of times because I know we are slow.

Blow off
I see where, in much more hopeful and optimisitic times, I listed a 5k race on my sidebar to run today. Not gonna happen :-( I just don't feel like driving 40 miles to a race, and I volunteered to sub for the gym's 5k run instructor this morning. So, instead of racing, I am going to be running 3 minutes/walk 3 minutes, 5 times, with the newest converts.

Friday run


It occurred to me today, as Cosmo, T'bo and I did our Friday morning run, that I love my dog. I adore this guy. He has been the best running partner ever - always engaged and motivated. He keeps me going. We did only our 2.5 mile route - that is far enough for T'bo. He ran at the very end of his leash, as far behind me as he could get. I just don't understand this. He isn't stressed, he just drags his ass, lollygagging. Cosmo maintains our pace, nicely slacked leash, his head aligned right with my right thigh. Running with this dog is a joy.
T'bo will be returning to his home early next week. Then it will be time for Cosmo and I to up our distance and work on a little speed.
***Edited to add: Don't bother writing me about how my dog is too skinny. He's a greyhound, for crying out loud. He is a greyhound who is active and at his proper weight. And he is a greyhound that will go out and lay down a pace over six miles. Want to try to hang with him over six miles? (That is a rhetorical question because I know some of you runners could hang with him without hardly breaking a sweat, but I am talking trash to all those non-running, fat dog owners who always look at me like I am starving my dog) He only looks skinny because by comparison, most dogs are too fat.***

Run Update
My plan was to run the Fort to Fort 5k race this weekend. I didn't get my application in on time. I haven't been running as much as I had planned so I know that any good result is out of the question, or frankly, would be way, way too painful and probably injury provoking.
Saturday, at the park, I ran with Bridge, forcing myself to keep pace with her. It was an easy pace for her and Momo but I was working my ass off. About a quarter mile left, I got a sharp pain in my left knee. My feet have always been what has bothered me, - my weak point. I have to say, whenever anything else bothers me, I feel slightly betrayed. Yeah, my feet can hurt but nothing else better. Walking made the pain recede but as soon as I started running again, it started up. I had walk the last quarter mile. Later that day at home, while walking up the dog's ramp, the pain returned, very sharp and the husb had to actually help me get in the house.
Monday, I ran the hills with Shannon, Sue and Sherri and voila! No pain! Pretty cool and I was happy. Although I wasn't running with Momo. I fed him too late for him to be able to make the 6 pm run. He was not a happy camper. Well, my employment is done April 30. I am not going back to work right away but will take some time. Being available to feed Cosmo earlier will help him make our evening runs.
It is also snowing today. Has been, on and off all day. Some even sticking to the ground. So, application not in on time, not been running enough, hinky knee and now snow. All reasons enough for me to blow off this weekend's 5k. I will run Saturday morning with the group, though :-)

Enough is enough
Tonight, Cosmo and I met up with SW, SH and Sue to run the Y hills. The concession (because Sue and I raced Saturday and SW and SH haven't been running much) for us was to only do 3 loops instead of 4. I also told them that we should maybe focus on gradually building some speed. In other words, *cue title music* that enough was enough (although not in those exact words).
I mean, c'mon! I have been running 4 years and I just did a 4 mile race at a 12:15 pace. I WAS PASSED BY A FOUR YEAR OLD AND A BLIND RUNNER WITH A CANE. Yeah, I know, all the good stuff - it was a hard course, lots of hills, at least I am out there doing it, blah blah blah. But the truth is I think that I am comfortable. And especially, there is no reason for these 3 women to be running at this level - all three are better, natural runners than I am. We can't advance, improve and learn while nicely ensconced in our little comfort zones. So the three of them, when I informed them that increasing our pace was going to be a goal, well, they didn't actually kvetch, but there was some muttering - I know I heard muttering! AND THEN THEY WENT OUT THERE AND DID IT. These women have heart :-)
My best 5k time was 31:59, a 10:20 m/m. My son, who while in training for his first and second degree black belt had to consistently run 3 sub 8 m/m (he averaged in the 7:15-7:20 range) likes to tap my forehead and tell me my speed is up there. So my 2007 goal is that I am going to do my damnedest to break my PR. Goals we set are goals we get. Right?
Today we ran 2.61 miles in 29:32 for an 11:19 m/m. Next Monday we shall try to take 15 seconds off of that. 5 seconds a loop faster. An 11:13 m/m. I think I/we can do that.

Post Run Pup

Cosmo after our 3+ mile hill run with Sue. He looked so cute with his jowl hanging down!
It seemed to have warmed up a little today so I was really looking forward to running. When we got there, well, Mother it was cold! I really thought it might have been too cold for Momo so I watched him closely but he trotted along nicely and warm in his bro. We did the hill loop 4 times, 2 times each way.
First time around, all I could think of was why is it still so hard to run when I have been doing it almost 4 years on and off? It was brutal. If Sue hadn't been there, I would have stopped. As it was, I could barely keep up with her. And she is talking the whole time! Second and third loops were better. Sherry joined us late at the start of our last loop. It was great because we hadn't seen her in a while and she was able to talk through that last loop which made it go by faster. We stopped and she continued on. I briefly thought about continuing with her so she wouldn't be running alone but I didn't want to push it. I felt decent at the end and wanted to keep that feeling. I felt a little bad but then I thought, 'eh, she is a better and faster runner than I am anyways, she doesn't need me. I would only slow her down!' LOL

What a difference a run makes
Cosmo and I ran most of the Tipp Hill race course this morning. He was so happy to be out. He hasn't run lately but it didn't seem to bother him. This is a very hilly course. We were able to run all the hills with one exception. They weren't easy and we (really *I*) had to stop at the top of most of them but we did make it up them. The last hill was the killer - it comes after a long gradual incline. I could see the stop sign where we were to stop but I just couldn't make it.
So, long story short, I do feel positive about this race. It won't be easy and I will probably be very slow but I do think it is do-able. We have 4 weeks to the race. My plan is to run the course the next three weeks.
Oh, in reference to the title - I have been pretty miserable lately for lots of reasons - weather, lousy job interview, etc. Well, after my run, my mood has done a real 180. Guess exercise does work.

From the depths of depression, part deux
Take a dog.
A dog that loves to run.
Have him run upwards of 15 miles a week.
With a group - his own little running 'pack'. (He is the only dog in this 'pack' so he gets lots of attention)
Take some typical CNY winter weather - lots of cold and snow. Too cold and too much salt on the roads for the above dog to run in.
What do you have?

Not the bee's knees
My weak point is usually my feet but my right knee has been bothering me for about a week. The inside of my knee was tender to the touch (I was showing a client how to use the hip adductor and I thought I was going to come right up off the seat trying to press the pads inwards).
Today, it was 0 degrees when I woke up so I decided to treadmill it at the Y before meeting another client. I got through two miles before having to stop. Now my knee is sore continually, it hurts to walk and to bend.
I hate going to the doctor's because my usual experience is they don't do a hell of a lot but I am making an appointment tomorrow morning. The Midwinter Blues Run is Feb. 4 and Tipp Hill is a month later. If I can't run those, well, I am not going to be happy.
As an addendum, all my internet research hasn't turned up any plausible explanation for the knee pain. That sucks. It is partly the reason why I don't go to the doctor's. Why waste time and money when it is easier and quicker to self-diagnose? I am usually better at it too :-)

Wednesday Run
I hurried home today, grabbed Cosmo and headed out into 20 degree weather for a proposed 3 mile run before dark. Yep, you read that right, 20 degrees. It was cold. I wore a longsleeved underarmor type shirt with a longsleeved tshirt over it and a cotton hoodie jacket, gloves, ear warmer band and pants. Cosmo wore his bro. I debated whether to take him or not but I knew if I left him, he would be hysterical. So I made a judgment call. Now I am making another one - we won't run outside under 25 degrees.
It was too COLD. I think I fared worse than Mo, he seemed to tool right along, having a great old time, happy to be out, cutting a dashing figure in his bro. I was pretty warm with the exception of my face. But I felt slow and sluggish because of the cold. I think it will have to be the treadmill for me in these temps. We planned on 3 but did 2.4. That was enough.

What we are up against.....
The top picture is the elevation map for the Tipp Hill Run (not all of it, just the hill portion). The bottom is the elevation for our Monday Hill run. We have our work cut out for us. I do not live in a flat area, there are plenty of rises but somehow, we just don't have hills around here. I hope we can get out and run the race course the second week of February. The good news is the the hills we have been running are getting easier. Next week we will run the second hill in the bottom little elevation map twice for a total of 4 hills.

The final run
Saturday, Jen came into town and joined the little running group. I am still recovering (and hoping for no set-back or recurrence) and Jen is a fairly new runner so we took it easy. Most the group ran 4.5 but we set out to do 3, then upped it to 3.5, then added on a quarter for 3.75. It was slow, but it was supposed to be :-). Jen brought her dog Cliff and he did really, really well. At a few points, he and Cosmo were shoulder-to-shoulder, running (or rather walking briskly) right together. So cute.
I did okay but really started to feel the distance at about 3 miles. Just tired and I probably would have walked if Jen hadn't been with me. She did really, really well. I think she is in perfect positioning for her first race next month. She already has the distance down.
This week the plan is:
Monday - the hills....3.2 miles
Tuesday - cycle
Wednesday - 3 miles
Thursday - cycle
Friday - 2 miles
Saturday - 4 to 4.5 miles
Sunday, blessed Sunday - OFF!
My plan is to add that Friday 2 mile run to get used to a 4th day running and to gradually up it to 3 or more when I feel good.

Back to running
I have been sick ever since Christmas - head cold, sinus infection, cough, poor me, so no running. This week I set into recovery mode and started feeling good. Mo and I headed out Wednesday after work for an experimental, let's-see-if-I-can-do-this-without-hacking-up-a-lung run. We did the little 2.11 route (I know this exactly because of http://www.usatf.org/routes/map/ - great site!) and while it wasn't easy, it wasn't grueling. I just felt tired and heavy but we perserved and plodded along and Cosmo was one happy, happy boy. I didn't time myself because I didn't want to get depressed at my 'I should just walk it' speed.
Today, after bopping home, I laced up the sneaks and we went out again. We did the same route, it felt pretty good. I didn't push too hard and we ended up doing 10:58 m/m. :-)
Tomorrow is the slow distance run at the park with my buds. Jen will be joining us so that should be lots of fun.

Woohoo!
This week did not go quite as I expected. My plan was to run Monday (hills), Wednesday (three miles), Thursday (2 miles), Saturday (45 minutes). I got the Monday run done but somehow the next two runs simply vanished into the mists of other responsibilities and commitments. Needless to say, Cosmo was distraught and all up in my business continually. But this morning, Cos and I headed out to the park for our long, slow run, supplied with orange glazed scones for an after-run snack. Our plan was to run 45 minutes.
My inside, right knee has been hurting a little bit. Not much, just a bit. So I was determined to take it easy, nice and slow, about a 12 m/m pace. The west trail is 4 miles long and I figured I would be slightly before the turnaround at 22:30 minutes. I started out, feeling fine and imagine my surprise when I reached the turnaround at 22:36. Hmmmm....I thought. I might be able to do the whole 4 miles in 45 minutes. Just past the half way point, Bridg, doubled back to meet up with me (because she was way ahead of me being a fast little bugger) and took over Cosmo duty so I was free to concentrate on my running. I really, really can't wait for the hands free leash to arrive :-) I kept track of the quarter mile times. I knew it was going to be close and resigned myself to not making it in 45. I just slowed down slightly between 2.5 and 3 miles. I hit the last half mile to go mark at 39:30 and knew it was going to take some effort. When I got to the last quarter mile, I picked it up as much as I could and hit the start point at exactly 45:00 for an average 11:15 m/m. Certainly not 'fast' by any runner's definition but I am very, very happy to have set that pace over 4 miles. My goal is to eventually be able to do 4-6 mile runs under 11 m/m and I am beginning to feel it just might happen. :-)
Oh, by the way....the scones are spectacular. Vegan with a Vengeance. Everyone should have this cookbook.

Things are starting to add up
I am slow.
I am slow because I am fat.
I am fat because I like to eat.
I like to eat so I bake a lot.
I like to bake so I bought Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
I bought VCTOTW and I make a lot of cupcakes.
VCTOTW = slow running.
Anyone want some cupcakes? I plan on making the Lime Coconut ones and the Orange filled ones this weekend. This in addition to the glazed orange scones I made last night (that I am hoping to pawn off on the running group this morning as an after-run snack). I really, really, need to stop baking.
