One of my best runs so far

I just finished a 4.02 mile run. Yes I have to put the .02 in there. It rained and it was pretty windy during the run. I have been pretty hesitant to run in the rain. But told myself today I was going to commit to running no matter what. I took a different route today and it worked out great. Until I was passed the halfway point. I looked up ahead and saw what seemed to be a pretty big hill. This was my first experience with a decent sized hill. I was a little nervous. Once I got to the hill it definitely was harder to keep my pace. I knew I was going to feel it in my calves later on. And I do. I kept on going, I think I walked about 10 steps the whole time and only stopped at cross walks. This was one of my best runs because its one of the longest that I have done in the recent months. And because I was able to finish it with the uncomfortable weather. I'm more confident that I can handle the rain wind and cold on future runs.

It's Friday...Yay...

So today I have schedule my jump rope workout. Yesterday I had a run scheduled, really its on my google calendar. But I didn't get to my run. We were shooting video and taking pictures at work, so I wasn't able to get out. Also it was raining pretty bad. I'm in Oregon so this is very common this time of year. I will have to get used to running in the rain.

Anyways. So today I made up for my run that I missed yesterday. I ran 3.38 miles. The run went well. I did this in 44 minutes. This time doesn't include stopping points at traffic signals. Still need a fancy watch/hrm/distance counter/timer.

I was happy with the run. Afterwards I felt like I could have ran harder and faster. So I guess thats a good thing. It's getting easier. So I'm still going to plan on doing my jump rope/jacks/ push ups workout tonight. And another run tomorrow.
