   good 2.23 mi 00:34 15:08 pace

   The weather was beautiful this morning, so I ran every once in awhile. Still having issues with the hills, especially since I gave up running for awhile. Need to get myself back in running shape.

   Since it was my first time using the machine, I didn't really know how the programs worked. Turns out, once you reach your target heart rate, it increases the resistance to "dammit, I want to get off". Finished my workout with some ab work, too.

   good Treadmill 1.24 mi 00:20 16:07 pace

   Used the office gym for the first time. Also my first time running on a treadmill. When I got off, I felt like I should still be moving. Felt good to run again, though.

   It was HOT this morning. And humid. No air was moving and it was a bit suffocating at times. But I can't help but love getting out and moving!

   While the temperature wasn't too high, the humidity was at 98% making this walk a very sticky one. I basically charged through it, though, and feel good that I went. Since last week was a bit lagging, this week I am bringing myself pain and suffering! Or just lots of work outs.

   It was nice to get out again. I actually managed to wake up early and get out before it got too insanely hot, but it was VERY humid. I was sticky the instant I walked out the door. This walk turned kind of weird, though. Not only was it garbage day (the whole neighborhood reeked), it smelled a little like pee...everywhere. And about halfway in, I saw 4 chickens running around in someone's yard. It was very strange. But it was nice to be active.

   I was hoping the weather would be cool enough for me to run a little, but that was not the case. I'm sad to see our nice weather go. Back to walking next week.

    I went to the National Gallery of Art, walked over to the Capital Building, then walked to the Botanic Gardens. My distance is an estimate, but I was walking to and from the Metro, through the sites, and around neighborhoods, so I'm pretty sure this is fairly accurate. I love this city.

    The weather was GORGEOUS. I made sure to get up early so I could go run while it was cool out. Since it was in the low 60's, I decided to run on this one. It felt really good.

    I went out fairly early today (9am, early for a Sunday), and it was already 80*. Started sweating right away, but that was fine with me since I ate crap all day yesterday. I kept my pace quick and practiced answers to possible interview questions for tomorrow. It felt good.

    This was going to be a run, but once I started I realized that right now I either need to deal with the heat or with the hills, and since neither is under my control, I'm going to go back to walking and extending my distance there before trying to run here anymore. Maybe I'll get a job and find a nice air conditioned gym, but until then, I'm going to work with what I've got.

    I wanted to make this a run, but with the heat and very little shade, I just couldn't get myself to run for more than about 6 minutes. It was nice to get out and clear my head, though.

    Decided to walk my usual route today in an attempt to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, it was about 90* out. I got to talk to my friend on the phone while I was walking, though, so I was happy...and out of breath.

    I think I'm getting discouraged trying to use the C25K schedule while I'm working with a terrain I'm still not comfortable with. So I'm just going to start going as far as I can running and see what that does for me.

    I set a nice slow pace for my workout. Worked on arms, legs, and abs. It was way too hot to go running today, and I'm glad I did this instead. My arms have been getting neglected.

    My knee started popping about a quarter-mile in, but it didn't necessarily hurt, so I kept going. It hurts now, but nothing a little medication can't handle. I think I need to just pick a route and stick with it for a little while so I can track my improvement.
