So I ran three times today. Not only am I trying to get out and play with Kylie (our dog, a black lab-mix), but I am trying to lose 2 pounds a month until the summer. So far things are going well with both goals. Yes, it's only been three days, but I am feeling pretty good about it.
Today I ran at three different points. My first run was with Kylie. I don't know if you have run with a dog before, but Kylie probably isn't a normal dog anyway. Kylie is a sprint for 1 minute, drag me for a minute, walk slow for a minute, poop, pee, repeat kind of dog. She is much better at NOT running after squirrels or birds, and we avoid other dogs most of the time. A long run for her, though, is only a mile. After that, she is beat and I have to drag her pulling at the leash the whole time. Overall, she loves the snow, and running really make her happy (and need to poop)--it was a fun, snowy-street run with my dog!
RUN (#1): 1.24 miles for 12:24 (9'48"/mile pace)
The second run was shortly after the first one. I dropped off Kylie at home and picked up the keys to school. I left from there and ran my bike-route to work. I was in the road most of the time, which was because the sidewalks were mostly unplowed and there were few cars out. It was cold, and my shoes started to get wet, so I only ran a 5k before walking a little.
RUN (#2): 3.05 miles for 21:34 (7'04"/mile)
My final run was shortly after gaining feeling in my frozen toes and ended quickly after the feeling left again. The sidewalks in Cambridge were just as bad as those in Belmont.
RUN (#3): 0.82 for 5:52 (7'06"/mile)
Overall, a great running day. Just over 5 miles in just under 40 minutes of running!! Let's hope my shoes dry quickly!
