Lisa Sabin's - Running And Being

A Little Sniffle Won’t Stop Me

Lisa Sabin — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:30:00 +0000

Phil gave me his cold. I debated whether or not to sleep in or get up and run. I hit snooze and slept for 15 minutes and then decided to go ahead and run. I will take tomorrow off and meet my group for our last long run before the Irongirl 10K. Today’s run started at an easy pace. I felt better and picked it up for the 2nd and 3rd mile. I didn’t feel like pushing hard though.

Starting To Recognize The Early Folks At The Gym

Lisa Sabin — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:30:00 +0000

I don’t know how I’ve been able to run at 4:30 am, but somehow I have. It’s been the only time I can get in a run. I see the same people doing the same thing every day. Every time I go to the gym I hope to get my favorite treadmill. It’s amazing, but I really like to be on the end. I guess I’m a little claustrophobic. I don’t like to be up against the wall. A guy got on the treadmill next to me for a couple of minutes and then moved to another treadmill. I ran next to him on a few days ago. Maybe he has a favorite treadmill too or maybe he didn’t want my sweat to land on him. I don’t know. There seems to be a core group of guys who know each other though. He moved over and started chatting with another guy. I didn’t take it personally. I was just glad to zone out on my favorite treadmill!

Good Run

Lisa Sabin — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:30:00 +0000

I warmed up for a couple of miles. I ran 3 miles at 7:30 pace. It’s starting to get easier. I would prefer running the 5K instead of the 10K. I haven’t run 10K in years. For some reason I tend to do 5K’s, half marathons and the occasional marathon. I’m not quite sure how to pace myself, so I’m working on speed over distance. Every week I lengthen the amount of time I’m running sub-eight, so that hopefully I will run sub-eight for the race.

Quick treadmill run. I really need to throw in some weights, but I’ve just been too busy these last couple of weeks.

Inspired By The Olympic Athletes

Lisa Sabin — Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000

I can’t wait to watch the Olympics tonight. I will watch just about any Olympic sport, however I have a certain fondess for track and field. I thought about the Olympians today as I was struggling through my run on the treadmill. I debated whether to quit at 4 miles or run 5.

I watched television coverage on the TVs at the gym. I had my running mix on my ipod and just when I wanted to quit, Madonna’s song “Die Another Day” came on. The song is 8:35 minutes long, so it got me through the last mile. I’m glad I did it. My 10K is coming up in 4 weeks. I’ve been in active recovery since the Boston Marathon in April. Now is time to get in gear and crank it up!

I’ve got 4 weeks until the Irongirl 10K. Time to start working on my speed. I warmed up and ran 2.25 miles at 7:30 pace. It’s getting easier.
