Yesterday Jacob and I went on a Slow Run For Fat Kids around the 53rd/Campus Way loop from his house.  Our total distance was about 5.5 miles.  Coming back along Campus Way we passed a running class going in the other direction.  One of the women checked out our packages with a sheepish grin on her face just as she passed us.  We both felt flattered, ran faster, and held our heads higher on the way back to his house after that.

This morning I went on a short 4 1/4 mile run around Corvallis.  According to some random calorie calculator on the intarwebs, I burned about 670 calories.  Slowly but surely I’m getting down to my obscene bikini weight.

This afternoon I went running with Jacob on a slow fat kids run.  We took about 40 minutes to go 4 miles.  Go go 10 minute miles!

I can’t sleep. I dozed off for maybe an hour around 10-11pm before I was woken up by the guys upstairs studying with loud music. Having tried all sorts of sleep aids I just went for a run to see if that would drain some of my energy. 1.6 miles later and I’m still wide awake.

Today I ran out to the covered bridge and back. Something is going on with the inside of my calves. It’s not shin splints but it feels about the same.

The run was about 2.7 miles.

I went for a short 3 mile run yesterday. On the way back I practiced some sprints. Today my legs ache from the run and the earlier motorcycle ride.

I went for a 3 mile run this evening around the neighborhood. That’s 0.5 miles more than my last run. At this rate, I should be back up to 10 miles per day at a reasonably fast rate within a month.

Early this morning I went on a quick run around the neighborhood to limber up and get back into the swing of daily running. With no class until 2pm, this term should be filled with many early-morning runs. The run was about 2.4 miles long.

Last night I did about an hour on the tread mill at the gym. 20 minutes of running at 5.5 mph with between a 6 and 3 degree slope (varying). 5 minutes of walking at 3.5 mph. 10 minutes of running at 5.5 mph. 10 minutes of walking at 3 mph on a 15 degree incline. 5 minutes of walking at 3.5 mph on a flat surface. 100 side steps in each direction at about 2 mph. Walking backwards at about 2mph for 5 or so minutes. Emily S happened to be working out at the same time I was there.

Afterward I did some quick chest and arms weights and some abs.

My extreme treadmill time was designed to start getting my legs and core warmed up for the impending snowboarding season. It doesn’t matter that there isn’t any snow at any of the resorts. I still have to get ready!
