Day 7 - 30 Day Challenge Jog

in

Well I am one full week into my challenge and other than a little bit of musucle pain I am feeling great.  Today I managed to go 1.91 miles in 25 minutes , I know for some of you thats pretty slow but for me thats an acomplishment.  I am starting to feel my body falling into the rutine now, even though I was tired when I came home from work my body needed to get out and jog.  I pushed my self today to I found myself saying internally (and at one point out loud) "you can get to that lamp post, or stop sign without slowing down."

It is really nice to see my track from day to day on MapMyRun, I am starting to see improvements in my tracks.  Its also been really nice to get back out into nature and run next to trees and plants.  Tomorrow I'll be doing my track on the rails and trails paths in Vernon again which should be beautiful, baring the rain doesn't come again.

I continued my trend of listening to another great TWIT cast this time it was Triangulation episode 54.  I will try to get back to listening to some of the books I have from audible, but you'll just have to continue reading to find out which ones.  Thats all for today, I am going to see tomorrow how the mobile posting works I hope it works as well as Squarespace says.

Day 6 - 30 Day Challenge Jog

in

I really didn't want to go jogging today, but I knew I couldn't blow my challenge so early into it, so I got some added motivation today; my wife.  My wonderful wife Carolyn came jogging with me today.  We took it a bit slower than usual becuase the pollen was really getting to me today

I managed to go 1.65 miles in 20 minutes, I am still getting use to the new user interface on mapmyrun so the rout didn't start till I was 7 minutes in so I actually went 27 minutes, but to be honest with my self I tracked 20 minutes.

I didn't listen to anything today beacuse I was having a conversating with my wonderful wife.  So thats all for now.

Day 5 - 30 Day Challenge Jog

in

Today was another rainy pretty Miserable day weather wise, but that wont stop me in my quest to jog.  After work I drove back to the apartment, it was raining the whole time.  I went in and changed and decided to take a look out side again expecting rain, much to my surprise there was no rain so I decided to fire up MapMyRun and go for a jog out side. 

There was an update to map my run today and it added a function that allows the program to stop the time while your are stopped such as at a stop sign, or just waiting for traffic so I decided to turn it on and give it a try.  This was not a good idea.  I ended up checking the app about 5 minutes into my jog, well it wasn't working, so I shut off the function and miraculous it started to working again.  I jogged for 1.79 miles in 26 minutes.  This run included some steep hills which is not what im use to in my jogs.  

I listened to another great pod cast on the TWIT network today it was The Social Hour episode 61. 

I am well on my way to completing my quest, I am actually starting to enjoy my jogs and I am feeling better getting out each day. As usual if you have any comments just post them in the comment section below.  If you have any Ideas for future 30 day challenges you can post them there as well. Thank you for reading.
