Not bad at all!]]> General http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=404 Tue, 26 May 2009 01:29:44 -0400 http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=403 Week totals: Carla 30.5 Jake 12
January totals: Carla 197.6 Jake 65.2

As for a few highlights from the last bunch of days:

Jan 13: Carla learned a lesson. Not eating much food the day before sure makes a run near impossible. I cannot remember a time when I was so exhausted for so little.
Jan 17 & 18: Carla and Jake went running together. I have missed our runs. It's been so great that he's back out there!
Jan 25: Carla missed her long run. First run missed in a long time. Too much on the go, and a crummy day, added up to procrastination that lasted till bedtime! Jake subsequently missed his run too. Saskatoon Marathon training was to start today!

And for Jake:
He's been sticking to his running plan really well. It is a huge help for him to have a treadmill at work. He has progressed from 3s and 1s to steady running. He had a few knee aches at the beginning but they seem to have subsided. He also went to see an orthopedic surgeon who was able to put his name on a list for an MRI.

Oh, and somewhere in there we registered for the Goofy Race and a Half in January 2010! ]]> General http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=403 Sun, 1 Feb 2009 10:56:15 -0500 http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=402
Saturday, January 10. Happy Birthday MomP! We had a few errands and things to do today and so my day was a little messed up. I really did not feel like going for a run at 4pm when I finally had time to head out. Only 6k covered, and I was a bit nauseous. I had not waited long enough after my late lunch! But I did it. Jake had a day off.
Week totals: Carla 51.1, Jake 15.2
Year totals: Carla 66.1, Jake 22.2

Friday, January 9. Rest day for Carla. Good thing cause I really enjoyed the sleeping in! Jake ran on the treadmill at Lakewood for 3k and then did 20 min on a bike while he waited for me to finish my shift at work.

Thursday, January 8. I did not sleep at all last night. I remember tossing and turning and checking the time, all hours! My 8k run was really hard. Sleep sure makes a difference. Jake had the running day off.

Wednesday, January 7.I decided to take it easy on the paces this week. I figured I didn't need to be tired out! I did manage 10k before school and Jake did 4k at work.

Tuesday, January 6. Oh my, what an early day. I remember to get up today though! I did a sleepy 6k around the hood and Jake did 3k at work.

Monday, January 5. University started. School is back on. I am now a third year nursing student. This academic term is only five weeks long and with three classes. Many essays and projects due, so blogging time will be hard to find! No running today for either Jake or myself. (Good thing, cause I couldn't even get myself out of bed for my alarm, and missed my bus!!!)]]> General http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=402 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 19:45:09 -0500 http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=401
Saturday, January 3. Jake missed his run yesterday as he was unexpectedly called into work a midnight shift. He ran on the treadmill there early Saturday morning before coming home. He is still on 3s and 1s, and ran 4k. As for me, I too went for a treadmill run. I went to work early to find a machine in the gym. It was packed and I almost did not get my 30 minute time slot. The new year is always busy for, oh, about a week! I did squeeze in a quick 6k, after a 10 minute bike warm up.
Carla week total: 51 km Jake week total: 11 km
Carla 2009 total: 15 km Jake 2009 total: 7 km

Friday, January 2. Jake missed his run due to changes in work schedules. Carla had a day off.]]> General http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=401 Sun, 4 Jan 2009 13:00:56 -0500 http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=400
And the resolution is: run 2009km in 2009! Here is to staying healthy enough to do so.]]> General http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=400 Fri, 2 Jan 2009 11:35:12 -0500 http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=399 December Total: 183.1 km
2008 Total: 1062.55 km

Tuesday, December 30. It was time to get back into the tempo runs. I've plotted out my running plan with the S'toon marathon training starting near the end of Janauary. I've got to be able to run 10k tempo runs... so today I re-started with 5k. It was an exhausting little run in all the loose snow. I'd say that would be the one real thing I dislike about running in the winter. The energy lost on slippery footing. I did still manage to run 5k in 26:21 minutes! OH - and Jake hit the treadmill! He's calling himself a professional runner. There is a machine at work and he is able to run there, while getting paid. Perfect. He is beginning with 3 minutes of running, and 1 minute of walking - going 3-4km each time.

Monday, December 29. Off

Saturday, December 27. Jake and I hit the Meewasin Trail for a nice walk during the late morning. It was great to be down by the river with the sun beams hitting our face. It's been grey and gloomy the last few days. After I drove him to work, I went to Harry Bailey for a swim before my life guarding shift. I did not count my laps, but managed to keep moving for an hour. It was nice to have some new activities today.
Carla's Week total: 31k running, 1 hour swimming, 45 min walk

Friday, December 26. Happy Boxing Day! I slept amazingly well after all that turkey! I drove Jake to work in the afternoon then came home for a run. I tackled 8 km around the neighbourhood. I went to mom and dads for some cheer and to mooch some yummy soup for supper.

Thursday, December 25. Merry Christmas. And merry it certainly was. We had an amazing day with family and friends. And Santa was good too!

Wednesday, revisited - I never did go for a run or a swim. Oh well. ]]> General http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=398 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 17:46:17 -0500 http://punshon.ca/running/index.php?itemid=397
