Now you have a base hill time. Record your time on the hills, and try to beat those. STG has hills on it.

I ran the same course today as i did monday. It went pretty well and i ran it in 15 minutes. Which was three minutes faster than last time. And of course that hill still sucked haha.

Ran 2 miles again.  Next week i'll up the milage 10%, or so my sister says haha but i guess i'll listen she's awesome at marathons.  It was really hot and i was sweating way bad.  I had a hard time getting myself to go, I was in a bad mood.

I ran in the morning. It felt pretty good, halfway through I got a lot more energy and the rest was easy. I ran the whole thing in 20 min, w/o stopping. And I had heartburn the whole time, which sucked (note to self, no chip and salsa and eleven at night haha). I think I'm getting better cuz it doesn't hurt my leg muscles as much. And yesterday I won the lottery and made it into the STG Marathon, YAY!!!

Ran today. Was pretty easy but I had a hard time breathing, stupid allergies. But other than that it was good can't complain. Didn't sleep very well RLS kept me awake. It sucked but I got over it. Just trying to get ready for the STG Marathon, any tips would be appreciated cuz this is my first time haha.

Do you have a training plan to follow yet? If not go to halhigdon.com he has training plans for all levels. I always use his plans and I love them. Plus the plans are free.

Ran 3 miles this morning.  It was nice weather.  Felt good at the beggining but slowly got worse and I threw up at the end.  But it wasn't extremey difficult.

Ran 4 miles today.  From my house to Washington elementary.  There were steep hills on the way up there but the way down was better.  I walked about .2 miles of it.

One word... SUCK.  This run was horrible with a captial W haha.  I was really tired and had a hard time waking up.  First half was good but my calves burn so bad that I can't run and have to take a break and walk.  I walked about .5 of it.  I also need to relax my upper body more cuz my arms start to get tired.  I think these are all habits left over from spriting, I mean I was trained to do it for 3 years.

I just read in Runner's World that a good trick to relaxing your upperbody is pinch your thumb and index finger together like you're pinching a piece of paper. This helps you to not tighten up too much. Also every 5 min or so shake your arms out. Good Luck!

Was a good run.  Can't complain about much, still need to relax upper body.  Walked about .3 of it.  I was sweating like a pig, which is normal.
