Week 5, Day 1

Run for 5 min., Walk for 1 min., Repeat 4 more times

• Treadmill speed: 5 miles/hour during the 1st cycle
• Treadmill speed: 5.5 miles/hour during cycles 2-4
• Treadmill speed: 6 miles/hour during cycle 5
• Distance: 2.49 miles
• I figure I'd have fun with the speeds and push myself to see how I felt.
  
• 5 miles/hour feels a little too easy now
• 5.5 miles/hour was ok for the first cycle but then it got a little harder
• 6 miles/hour was very tiring but I just wanted to push myself hard - maybe it's to make up for missing a run
• My legs definitely feel tired and I'm sweating like crazy.
• No tv shows to watch while running today. Instead I listened to Simple Plan's new CD that's out next week...there was a sneak peek on mtv.ca. I wanted to quality control it since Aidan wants to buy the CD when it comes out.
• Does anybody have Cashmere Mafia on PVR and could burn me the first episodes. I'm really curious about that show. I was going to watch season 3 of The Office while I was running but I couldn't help myself and watched it all while I was sick this weekend. Oops.
  

Week 4, Day 7

• Day off
• I still didn't run to make up for yesterday; still recovering from a cold.

Week 4, Day 6

• I was supposed to run today but I was too sick to.

Week 4, Day 5

Walk, bike, or exercise for 20 min.

• Today I shoveled the driveway for 40 min. I think that counts.
• This cold should be going away soon, but in the meantime, does somebody want to trade noses?
• One great advantage of having two vehicles...less snow in the driveway to shovel!
  

Week 4, Day 4

• Run 5 min., Walk 1 min., Repeat 4 more times
• Treadmill speed: 5 miles/hour running; 3 miles/hour walking
• Distance: 2.34 miles
  
• I have a cold but I ran anyways. Overall, it wasn't a bad run.
  
• Another snow storm today...sigh.
  

Week 4, Day 3

• Day off
• Had to work late again. Didn't get home until 9pm and then I had to watch the season premiere of Lost so I didn't run. I'll juggle things around so it all works out.
  

Week 4, Day 2

• Day off

Week 4, Day 1

Run 5 min., Walk 1 min., Repeat 3 more times

• Treadmill speed: 5 miles/hr

Week 3, Day 7

• Run 4 min., Walk 1 min., repeat 3 more times
• Treadmill speed: 5 miles/hour
• Distance: just over 1.5 miles
• Knees weren't too bad. Legs were tired but my breathing was good. Sweating like a pig though. During the last 30 sec. of the last cycle, I upped the speed to 6.3 miles/hr, just for good measure.

Week 3, Day 6

• Today I was supposed to run but I switched with tomorrow and took a day off. I was enjoying being a couch potato too much. Plus I figure my knees could use another day to rest.
• On a sad note, Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th president of our church, passed away tonight (Sunday, January 27th, 2008) at age 97. I will always remember him as the prophet who brought so many temples to the world and raising the bar for missionaries.
