2 weeks from today.......

is our 5K.  I'm excited.....and nervous. 

Yesterday Amber & I were talking.....yesterday's program was run 4 min, walk 2, repeat 4X.  That seemed easy.  We felt like we didn't run enough.  But....I said.....we have to trust that our coaches know what they are doing when preparing us for our first race. 

Tonight's group run is going to be our toughest yet.  40 minutes of running.  Run 8 min, walk 2 min...repeat 5X.  The weather is perfect outside this morning......so tonight should be a nice night for a run!  I'm looking at this run as the same as our 5K.  Run 8 min, walk 1 or 1 1/2 is kind of what we are thinking we are going to do for our race.  So tonight will be the test.......are we ready for this?  I know we are.  We've followed the program pretty much 100%.  I feel like a 12 week program would be really good and I'd be more prepared....but since that's not the case....we'll be ready in 2 weeks.  

Theresa, how is the running going?  I see you are going to the Kettle bell gym....are you running too?  I am thinking....and Amber too.....we need to work in some weight lifting into our program.  After we get through this 5K training and see what the 10K training program is like.....we'll have to put a plan together to add that in. 

Tonight is our informational meeting for the 10K training.  I'll be out of town on the day of the race......but Amber is going to run it.  And then we're going to do a 10K in October in Madison.  Remind me to sign up for that Amber! 

Have a great day.  Happy Running!  I'll let you know how tonight's run goes.
