My First 10K
6.2 miles never hurt so good. So, my knees don't hurt much anymore, at least not during my runs like they used to. But now my calves are starting to kill, especially around miles 3, 4 and 5. Though the pain was horrible, I never gave up, and finished my first 10K...in under an hour.

Another longest run so far this year, 5 miles
5 miles, 9:30 AVG mile, 47:43 total time running, 692 calories.
The first mile or so was hard, for some reasons I was breathing hard, and not feeling it today. But at mile 2 and throughout the rest of the run I was breathing great, nice and slow. I didn't feel out of breath. In fact, I felt like I could go another 5 miles. My legs were a different story. At mile 3 my left calf started hurting a bit, and the pain never went away until I got home and laid down. The good news is ... MY KNEES DON'T HURT ANYMORE. They usually start hurting a few hours after my runs, and it stays with me for 2 or 3 days. But the pain never came back after my run 2 days ago. Anyways, Have A Great Day!!
This is how many miles Ive run so far this year.

4 Mile Run Today!!
I had a great morning run today, and my farthest run this year... 4 miles. My stupid iPhone 4 Nike GPS app said I went 4.39, but it wasn't so when I doubled check on MapMyRun. I couldn't ask for better conditions though... 50 degrees outside, no wind, and the sun was coming up over Sunrise Mountain as U2's song "Beautiful Day" was playing in my ears.
And the best part... I reached one of my goals. I am under 180!! I'm not fat anymore!!

Upper Body Work Out and Running Update
Check out this low cost production of my upper body workout.
The last time I went running was Feb. 17th. It was a great run, but the 2 or 3 days after my knees were hurting again. So I took 3 weeks off. Today was my first day back, and I took it easy. I didn't want to hurt my knees again. 2 miles in 17:35, 8:45/mile, 281cal. This next week I plan on running every other day. And my goal for Monday is 4 miles. Wish me Luck!!
