Saturday’s run was horrible. I won’t say more. I had my brother’s iPod shuffle and new running shorts and it was the first run after my 35th birthday and it sucked. I tried to lift weights instead but that didn’t work due to a bum thumb. A whole ‘nother story.

Monday was a great run. Until the end of the first mile. Then some guy unplugged my treadmill. This is after my new iPod shuffle didn’t work. Because I am an idiot. I shoulda used my brothers, but no I had to by my own and didn’t test it before packing in to the Y. So back to the run, in my new shorts again, and new shirt, Nike dry fit, sleeveless, I had to move to another treadmill and finish my second mile. This was a good run.

After the 1.5 mile mark, I increased my speed 1/10 mph for every 10th of a mile I did. This somehow ended my mile at a 6.2 pace. Two whole miles without walking. With a gimp thumb and no tunes.

Today, after seeing the doc about the thumb I hit the stationary bike for 30 minutes. Will run again tomorrow or Thursday. Looking for 2.25 miles or 2.5 miles.

Saturday I will run for as long as possible to ready myself for the Lou Cox 5k in Dayton. My first 5K! I am excited and my goal is not to be beaten by a 83 year old lady who is walking.  I am running in the Clydesdale B category, which is for me who weigh 225 and up. I plan to not be last in the category.
