Sept. 28

I'm not really sure how far we ran today, but we ran to JPJ, ran a lap around the track, and then ran back to Mem Gym. We were jogging for a total of about 25 minutes. I'm not usually a fan of running on tracks, but I kind of liked the mixture of track and street route. I'm pretty worried about Monday though, since I have no idea what a "tape workout"is other than it involves running on the track and that I will need to be bringing plenty of water.

Sept. 26

Today we ran a 2 mile loop to the law school and back. We did this in speed intervals, with each member of the group taking turns to decide at what pace we would run for how long. I forgot to start recording until we had already started our jog, but from where I started recording I ran 2.24 miles in 20 minutes and 11 seconds. I enjoyed this workout, but sometimes I fell behind when we had to sprint. I'm not a good sprinter in the first place, so forcing myself to sprint in the middle of a jog can be rough.

Sept. 24

Today we ran on the lawn. We ran hard for 1 minute and 30 seconds and then jogged the rest of the way back to the starting position within another minute 30 seconds. We did this 4 times for a total of 12 minutes of jogging. I made it back to the starting position in time each time, and sometimes with a good amount of time to spare. We then went on a long cool down jog from the lawn back to Mem Gym.

Sept. 21

Today I ran 2.5 miles in 21 minutes and 20 seconds. I really enjoyed the route we took today, which took us to the law school and was a little more scenic that the routes we've run in the past. After our run we ran 5 hills. It was kind of terrifying because the hill was steep and wet.

Sept. 19

Today we did there and backs. We ran for 1 minute and thirty seconds then turned around and tried to make it back in the same amount of time. We did this four times. I hit "bingo" 3 out of the 4 times. This was an improvement from the last time we did there and backs.

Sept. 17

Today I ran 2.07 miles in 18 minutes and 37 seconds. I felt really good during the first mile but slowed down during the second. I've noticed that my mile time is getting faster. I just have to work on building endurance so that I can keep it up.

Sept. 14

Today we warmed up with a lap around the tennis courts and field. Then we ran 4 1:30 there and backs. I made it back in under 3:00 2 out of the 4 times. We finished with a cool down lap and stretching. Running felt a little harder today because I'm congested from a cold, but I felt good after the workout.

Sept. 12

Today I ran 2.5 miles in 23 minutes and 6 seconds. This was the farthest distance I have run in a while. I definitely slowed down in the last half mile, but felt pretty good for the majority of the run. I can already see that my endurance is improving.

Today I ran 2.15 miles in 19 minutes and 15 seconds. I used an app called Map My Run to record my workout. I found this route much easier today than the first time I ran it and was able to keep up with the rest of my group pretty easily. I even had enough energy to run back to my dorm after class!
