A whole lot of running today

Today I ran a lot, but almost none of it was recorded properly.

First, my boyfriend woke me up around 7:45 saying that my little dog had escaped. His tie-out wasn't attached properly so he ran away. The little dog thinks it's a game. He thinks its funny to run around and have me chase him. I would normally walk around leisurely until he decides to come in, but today it was 0F and windy, plus I had class! I spent roughly an hour running through snow banks, up hills, and over ice chasing him. Sometimes I sprinted. Sometimes it was a nice easy jog. For an HOUR. Yes, an HOUR. I didn't catch him. So I left to go to my next class, leaving the poor boy outside in the cold (it's okay, though. My boyfriend stopped by on his lunch break an hour later and caught him. He's safe inside right now).

I was in a horrible mood by the time I got to my second class. Thankfully, that class was Personal Fitness and today was running day. We ran a timed mile where I clocked in a 7:43. Best in the class! I ran an easy half mile (un-timed) to recover. We went back out to the track a few minutes later where everyone did their own thing. Some people walked the entire time, some people walked half the time and jogged half the time. I chose to do intervals. I did two laps easy followed by one lap sprinting. I lost track of how many intervals I did, but it came out to be roughly 15 minutes of intervals.

I wish I had times and distances for everything. Oh well. It was a good workout on an otherwise awful day.
