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.

Did an easy 3 miles (ha ha I always wanted to say that!) today.  Just ran the whole thing at 5mph and walked .5 mile.  I did lose a couple of pound this last week though so yeah for me.

Ran 2 miles on treadmill, walked .5 miles.  I did the last 1/4 mile at 2% incline.  I'm really trying to get to where I can do hills.  I know 1/4 mile is pretty wimpy but I will work up to more.

Walked .5 mile ran 3 miles.  I was lazy today and didn't speed it up at all or do any incline but I did finish what I was supposed to do.  I will also try my test for 100 push-ups after I rest a little today.  I will update it later with how I did.

 

-Evening update-

My arms are now jello.  I guess I completed the 100 push-ups.  My youngest (21 months) thought it was funny to crawl under me as soon as I went up with a push-up and then I wouldn't be able to go back down again.  He didn't start doing this until I had done about 70 push-ups.  I actually go through the first 50 pretty easily and it was getting quite a bit harder by 70 so it made it that much more annoying.  I had to stop after each 10 at 70 for a few seconds to put him on the couch.  At least he wasn't trying to climb on my back like he sometimes does.  I was very, very tired by 100 and very shaky but I think it counts.  On Monday I want to start the challenge over but do regular push-ups instead of girly ones...we'll see how that goes.  But WOOHOO!  I did it!  And to think that I could barely do 9 when I started.

Did the advanced Windsor Pilates today.  I think this will really help me to stretch my muscles longer and looser and gain core strength.

Walked .5 and ran 4.  Had to do it on the treadmill today because Matt had a race and then has to go to work.  I guess it's just as well because I hate to run in the snow.  I listened to Conference while running.  I hate having two days, Thur. and Fri. where I don't run at all so I don't get to log any miles but I guess it's still best to follow my training plan and I need the rest and to work on other areas to really improve.
