Get straight! Go for it!

Whip it good Weigh-in!
Okay, maybe not so good.  Blah week last week yielded blah results.  No loss, no gain.  I'll take it.

I used the same method of weighing in as I did last week, until I can figure out what I'm going to do for a home scale.

I would like to get the Garmin scale, but I just cannot imagine spending that much money on a scale.  It sure would be nice to have it automatically sync to my Garmin profile though...

B210K Third Week Review
The third week wasn't much better than last week!

The weather this past week has just been playing havoc with my running schedule.  I know I should break down and use the Treadmill-o-doom, but I just really hate getting on that thing anymore.  It just feels so much better being outside.

I got Day 2 in on schedule, but didn't get day 3 in.  

I did get a half hour of run/walk testing in on Thursday.  THAT went rough!   I tried 2:30 run / 0:30 walk.  My pacing to start with was HORRIBLE.  I still have to work hard at being able to judge my pace.  I don't think I'll ever be a race pacer!  LOL!

This week is off to a GOOD start, so I'm going to try and keep that positive energy going this week!

We're up to 66 minutes of activity!  

Yesterday I did the Week 4 Day 1 and it went pretty good.  It was much cooler and much less humid than it has been in a while.  So, right out of the gate on my first run segment, I started out too quick.  After several bad start attempts, I finally was able to get into a decent rhythm.  

Extra Effort on B210K W4 D1!
Funny thing about my 1st run for week 4 of Bridge to 10K.  I was on the last run segment and the app tells me 10 minutes left... then 5 minutes left... then... nothing.  

So, I just chalk it up to my just wanting that last segment to end.  Nope!  The app messed up again and never told me I was finished on that last run segment!  So, my last run segment ended up being 23 minutes long!  WHEW!  I ended the running when it finally told me that I had completed my run for today, what it normally tells me after my 5 minutes of cool down.

Yesterday I also recorded my fastest 5K on this watch, at 54 minutes.

My fastest recorded 5K is 50 Minutes back on March 23rd, 2013!

Counting Down!
17 Days until I'm on Vacation!  (I finally fixed the counter over to the left side of my blog posts.)

134 Days until Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend!  The ONE thing I still REALLY want from the Disney races is to get the Coast to Coast medal.  That is a special medal you receive for for doing a race at both Disney World and Disneyland within one calendar year.  So, we shall see what the future holds for me on Disney races.

This world needs more Devo!
I went to school in Naperville, Illinois for 7th grade, at Waubonsie Jr/Sr High (near the famous home of Wayne & Garth in Aurora!).  In gym class, we would start almost each class by running around the gymnasium.  This is the song that they played A LOT! (Maybe every time?)  So, ever since then, I've associated this song with running.





Thanks for Reading!
