Week 5 day 2

50 minutes running done! oh yeah ran 3 miles yesterday too. I said from the begining I am not doing this for weight loss, but I have been at this since March and I have still not lost a lb. even though I am 70 lbs over weight. I changed my mind. I am going to start a proper nutritional diet and counting calories. I do want to be smaller. I think I will wait until I get back from Puerto Rico. I don't want to give myself any unnesacary guilt trips. I also realized today what kind of trainig will go into a marathon. I am just not sure if I have time to put 20 hours a week into training. I haven't decided what to do about that yet.

I ran 7.1 miles so far this week, training only half done for the week.
The fact that I get myself up every morning before 6, just to go run makes me realize that I am a strong person with self discipline. I am happy to know that.
When I first started training, running 2 miles was hard...now when I have 2 miles left I know I can finish. I also feel like I should pick up my pace, but when I do, I start to get a side ache and I don't go as far- I need to read more about this. At the pace I run now, I feel like I could go forever. I am not sure if it gets my heart rate up, but it hurts and I sweat. Sweating is good right? :)

Week 4 Day 4

35 minute run-ran 33. Got home to soon. There was a note on my door- otherwise I would have ran on by for the extra 2 minutes. My neighbor wants me to do here hair for prom. Fun!-That is what the note said...

Week 4 Day 2

2 Mile run- done...It hurt to run today! I knew I could because I have done it so much, but it hurt every step of the way! I am going to have to do some pilates.

Week 4 Day 1

30 minute run- done.
Felt good, felt like I could go on forever. I love that feeling, almost like your getting bored running. 3.1 miles- hey that is my 5K in the bag! I actually ran by one of the houses that we looked at when we were looking for houses. I didn't realize it was so close to this one-I am so glad that we got this one. It is such a great house!
Hey Al how is training going for you?
We should buy some shirts and think of a good name for our 5K and design our shirts. Then we could put numbers on them and take pictures. 6.2 is Reay Lane down Austin Road, past Carey Lake then down dog alley past the school and onto main, and buy a milkshake at that little resturaunt across from Grandpas- what do yah say?

Day 4 Week 3

OK, I didn't realize that I haven't posted at all. So for a break down. Last week in Idaho I ran on Monday the 27th. Then I traveled, snacked and slacked the whole rest of the week.
This week I missed Mondays run, but then I ran on Tuesday-3 miles. I rested on Wednesday and slept in this morning. This means I will have to run tonight. I called Al to see if I could back out, but she wouldn't hear of it! This girl is crazy! She wanted to do a 10K on Saturday after her Friday wedding. We decided to do our own little 10K on Thursday before Allison's wedding on Friday, instead. We will give the money to the Humanitarian fund rather than for a t-shirt. So fun! I am glad I have Al to encourage me when I want to take a break!
