Running Log 8/25

Yep, running is awesome! I feel great while I'm running and I always want to run more.

I'm glad that someone believes in me! Right now I couldn't even imagine myself running a marathon. But I might shoot for a 10K at the end of November.

So far I haven't found any running books on audio. I think eventually I'll just buy one that isn't audio, but this is more difficult since I will probably have to have a friend read a lot of it for me. One of my friends is interested in running though, so maybe it won't be a problem getting her to read.

What are friends for? I 'm sorry .I forgot you can't read books well. I 'll check and see if there are any audio books at my library and write back.Talk to you soon.

I took my friend out running tonight and I may just have a reader! She had fun, even though she could barely run a quarter mile at a time for now... well, more like jog. But still, pretty good for a first timer!

I only went 2 miles and then at the end (it was a cement trail), I turned my ankle the slightest bit. Not twisted, but it gave a tiny twinge of pain. So tonight I iced it and I am crossing my fingers it will be good still in the morning! No more running for me until next Tuesday. And then I'll do Thursday evening again too probably.

Fantastic about your friend> I am sorry you got hurt. I didn't find an audio book on running but I found another book that Both of you should read. It is called The Complete Book Of Running For Women by Claire Kowalchik.It talks about training, Nutrition, and Injury Prevention. Have great weekend . Take Care.

Thanks! I will look for that one. I need all the injury prevention I can get.

This morning my ankle was a little sore, but by the end of the day just walking on it, it feels fine. I'm not running again until Tuesday. Too smokey out here anyway with all the fires right now.

Fires? Is everything okay? Is your house safe?

Yeah, our house is safe luckily. One of my aunts had to evacuate though.

I hope everything goes well for her.Send her my best wishes.

Thanks, will do. Apparently, school is starting late there and everything since they're all still evacuated.

Thanks for the best response.,

People who run the mile in the Olympics run the entire mile under 4 minutes. It sounds crazy to me too though!

I have at least gotten under 2 minutes for the quarter mile now though.

If you can run for 10 to 20 minutes, you are well on your way to being in great shape! You'll be running a 5K in no time if you wanted to. Or at least you'll be in shape. I haven't been able to lose my little belly, but I hope eventually it will go away.
