June runs and the gym
I forgot to post about running in the month of June. I did go. In sitka it was awesome - ran through the totem park and could actually imagine liking running. Then came Monte Rio - and that was ok too, redwoods, river views. Then Boonville and a horrible treadmill run that made me realize I'm not really getting anywhere with the whole aerobic fitness thing - which is the whole point. So yesterday I finally went and joined the Fitness Center at UCSF. It's awesome. Expensive, but awesome. We'll see how that goes.

See jane run 5k - sort of
after taking two weeks off - partly because I was in Michigan and it was too hot - and partly because my hip just really hurt, I went ahead and showed up at the See Jane Run 5k that was supposed to be the culmination of my umpteenth attempt at the c25k program. I enjoyed the run - and broke it up into 3 10 minute runs instead of trying to just go for it. It made me think I should keep going. Hopefully my hip won't wake me up at 3 am.

c25k w7/2 NOT
today was not a successful run. At shadowcliffs with dogs - waited too long to go, was too hot. But at least I did something.

c25k w7/1
I definitely did NOT want to go today - was feeling exhausted and worn out.
But - managed to haul myself out and it wasn't awful. I'm not sure if we made it to 25 minutes - between a couple of aggressive great danes, some poorly timed lights and a little apathy I wasn't super good about technology - but if it wasn't 25 minutes it was at least close.
It is never as bad as I think it will be.

c25k w6/2
forgot to post again... did this last Friday.
walk 5, run 10, walk 3, run 10, walk 5 - should have been a piece of cake.
Mark missed two runs - he was pretty miserable.
my first 10 were fine, almost fun. second 10 my butt felt like it had lead in it.
Faro had a great time.
