Oh my, I'm so out of shape. 3 around the neighborhood with Clara. I did feel better than I expected though, so that was a plus!

Today was rough. Did VA loop, but with quite a bit of stopping/walking. Got down to 7:30 pace for a bit! That's the fastest I've gone in a loooong time. Averaged 8:29. Adjusting to altitude, losing weight and getting in shape will be more difficult than I thought.

Hard time breathing but effort was good. That's what I'm going to start going off of because my body just can't go as fast as it used to. Kind of discouraging but I'll do what I can! 8:32 average with 6 stops, hoping to be able to run through without stopping here in the next couple weeks.

Good 2.5 run with Clara. Felt better than yesterday! Got a nosebleed towards the end, probably from the dry air.

Later felt my depression getting deeper so I went on another 2.5 mile run. Seemed to help a little.

Took 1900 E to Sunnyside and up to the zoo and back the same way. Started at just over 9:00 pace and finished at just under 8:00 pace. 8:32 average. I'm worried that I'm not going to be in good enough shape by January to start training with the team. But then again I'm less than a week into getting back into shape. Any advice on the best way to get in shape?

VA loop, 7:53 average. Fastest mile was 7:08 (downhill). It's good to know that I haven't lost everything, just need to get my endurance back.

Today was the first day I actually felt good! I was relaxed and enjoyed it! Did VA loop again.

Went to Regionals and got to see coach and the team! Probably ran a mile or more from booking it to cheer the team on.

I'm allergic to something. Have hives everywhere and itch like crazy. It's painful to walk and I kind of limp to avoid putting my weight on areas that hurt, so thought it best not to run so I don't get tight from limping.

Feet have swollen goose eggs on them. Way too painful to walk let alone run.

2.5 with Clara and added on after. Felt good. Walking no longer seems to be an issue, so I'll take that as improvement!

I've been itching to get up on 11th Ave for a while and gave in today. Shriner's run. Maybe it wasn't smart to go so far but I enjoyed it haha. Felt good, I'm getting back into running quicker than I thought I would. 8:20 average.

Yikes, another day of not running. I need to make running a bigger priority. Since deciding not to go back to SUU until the fall (many factors went into the decision, it's for the best) I've developed the awful attitude of "if I miss running today it's not going to be that big of a deal." I'm making it my goal to not miss a day of running for the next 3 weeks (excluding Sundays of course).

I'm catching a cold. Did VA loop, didn't feel very good but it wasn't awful either. Went faster than I did in Idaho.

Core later. Gonna make another goal to do core every night.

2 out and back on Foothill. Felt okay, my cold is hitting me pretty hard. 7:58 average.

On a brighter note, noticed that my pants were loose today so out of curiosity I hopped on the scale and realized I've lost 10 pounds! Was surprised actually because I've had more junk than food with nutritional value. Maybe I should be better about that...

Core later.
