Goal Type:

Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Started running Jan. 26, 2009.  I've ran 6 days a week since and have only missed 2 days.

I no longer hate to run.

 May 9, 2009 ran I-Drive 5K in Orlando FL in 29:58

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run a 5K in 30 minutes.

I have just decided to train for a half marathon.

  • July 11 Farmington Festival Days 1/2 Marathon

Long-Term Running Goals:

Continue to run even after my races and be an old running woman.  After my half I just may decide on a full marathon but right now just the thought of the half is daunting.

Personal:

I am married to Matt (Twinkies) who loves to run.  I have been the supportive wife watching him run his races and calling him crazy.  We have 4 kids.  Our oldest is 7 and our youngest is 1 1/2.  I homeschool our two oldest boys.  I have decided that I really want to lose my extra fat and get back into shape.  I have always hated to run but I think I am finally past that.  I hope to someday actually say that I love to run.  I would be proud to call myself a runner.  Most of my runs are on the treadmill because I'm unable to leave the kids home alone while I go out for a jog.

Man am I sore from my run on Sat.!  I can totally feel all the new muscles I worked from doing those hills.  It's tough to even make it up or down my stairs but I still had to do my run.  I successfully added my 1/4 mile making it .5 mile walk and 3.25 mile run.  The last .5 mile I ran at 5.5mph pace instead of the 5 because I was tired of running and just wanted to finish.  Hopefully my muscles will feel better tomorrow.

 I'm on my last week for the push-up challenge and hope I can do 100 girly push-ups at the end of this week.  I think then I might start over and try to do the manly ones...we'll see.  I'm only on week 5 of the sit-ups.

I haven't lost any weight this week which is a bit frustrating but maybe part of it is from all the new muscles weight I've gained.  I'll just keep trying to stay consistent with my workouts and eating good foods.

Weight: 157.00

Nice job. That's a great start for the week.

Hey that is a good sore right! I find that if I haven't been sore for a while I miss it (maybe I am crazy though)

Good luck with your push ups and with the diet... I have been trying to lose the same ten pounds for a 2 years now!
