It's HOT out today!!!

No running today......just walked on my treadmill for a half an hour.  Tomorrow I'll finish up Week 3 of the C25K program.  I really hate this heat.......especially this early.  I'm going to have to try and get used to it with running outside.  I'll probably be doing that early in the morning or late at night......I prefer winter. 

I don't have anything else today......Have a good night! 

Hi Theresa and Tammy!

Week 3, Day 2

is complete.  Today was tough.....but I made it through it.  It's strange....one day I feel like running is pretty easy....the next day I feel like I'm gonna die.  I guess it just takes time.....and depends on how my body feels, I guess.

Went to ASR and paid for my Beginners program.  I guess I missed seeing you there this afternoon Roger.   How are you feeling by the way?  Back to normal?  Or sore?


Off to bed early for me.  Have a great week!!!!

Week 3...day 1

Completed week 3, day 1 early this morning. Then I got in the car on my way to Lake Geneva. Rob & I were at the finish line when Roger & Tammy crossed it. How motivating! I can't wait for March!!!  Rob says he is going to start running too.....we'll see.  That is totally up to him.   No pressure from me. 

Happy Mother's Day Theresa!
CONGRATS to Roger & Tammy!

Beginner Running Program

Last night was the informational meeting for the Beginner to 5K program.  I am really looking forward to it!  There were about 35 people there.  All ages and sizes.  I think it is going to be a fun group to run with.  We'll start the program on May 25th.  We'll run together every Wednesday.  We'll get an email each week with our schedule/training program for the week.  Our goal is to run a 5K on July 27th.  I'm really excited!!! 

Hope your week is going good.  Happy Running!  Tonight I'll finish Week 2 of the C25K program on my ipod. 

Roger - I'll see you at the finish line on Saturday! (unless it is raining...I might melt in the rain)

Week 2, Day 2......complete

I was a little worried as to whether or not I'd make it through today's walk/run.  I'm sore from all of the moving yesterday.  Maybe girls shouldn't try to move big oak tables, wooden trunks, antique ice chests, etc by themselves....lesson learned.  BUT I did make it through....and without shin splints too!  Tammy gave me a little tip the other day about stretching my calves by standing on the edge of a step.  And that has really helped.  Thanks for the tip!

Tomorrow is the meeting for the Beginner to 5K program/training.  I guess 25 people are signed up.  My friend Amber says she is going with me so it should be fun to have someone to run with at my beginning level.  And I'm looking forward to meeting some new people to run with too! 

I'm still trying to figure out if I'm going to be able to make it to Lake Geneva Saturday morning.  I have to be back in Milton by noon.  Will I have enough time Roger? 

Have a great day.  Happy Running!!!

18K steps today.......

and I didn't even exercise!  I took the afternoon off to help a friend (that is going through divorce) move into her new house.  WOW.  I'm tired and sore!  Started at 11 am and it's now 7:35.  I'm beat.  Nothing left in me for exercising.  So I guess I'll run tomorrow.  I think I got plenty of exercising in with taking 18K steps!

Have a great night....and week!  I've gotta take a hot bath and get some sleep!

Got my 10K steps in but......

Not a lot of energy left at the end of the day today to exercise.  Spent the day cleaning, grocery shopping, running errands, cooking for the week, laundry, etc.....and then it got to be 6:30 and I decided it was time to exercise.  I only spent about 15 minutes on the treadmill and I was done.  I checked my pedometer and I was at 10,461 steps.  So.....I guess I'm OK with that. 

Tomorrow is Day 2 of Week 2 of C25K.  Looking forward to that.  I'm also helping a friend move tomorrow afternoon........maybe I should get up in the morning to exercise??  We'll see how that goes. 

Have a great week! Can't believe it is May 1st already!
