Can We Run It?

Apparently We Can!

2008-04-26T15:55:00.000-07:00

It is finished and it was so much fun! I'm already gearing up for next year :)

UpHill Battle...literally

2008-03-02T12:11:00.000-08:00

Ran the 5K and 10K courses at the Race Judicata, way too many hills!!!!

Treadmill miles are HARD

2008-02-28T08:21:00.000-08:00

2.75 miles on the treadmill before work. In a moment of weakness I signed up for a PAIR of races this Saturday, 5K followed by a 10K! I may not be able to walk or think after that :)

Short Run Before Work

2008-02-23T18:12:00.001-08:00

4 miles before work on Friday, never got around to it today...

Never thought I could do it...

2008-02-18T14:50:00.000-08:00

But I did! TEN miles today with my friend, K.

Sixes All Around

2008-02-16T18:11:00.001-08:00

We both did 6 miles this morning.

Pushing ourselves

2008-02-09T11:53:00.000-08:00

Hubs ran 5 with a friend of his, I ran 7 with another friend. Yay for us.

Lesson Learned

2008-02-07T17:45:00.000-08:00

Did 4 miles at 4:30, hadn't eaten since 11:00. I was sooo tired/hungry/lightheaded at the end. I will make sure I have enough energy from now on.

Up to 4

2008-02-05T19:44:00.000-08:00

3 miles last night on the treadmill, 4 miles today on the greenway.

That's dedication!

2008-02-01T20:35:00.000-08:00

Three miles in the snow this morning!

Praise the Lord!

2008-01-31T09:19:00.000-08:00

I just did a PAIN-FREE TREADMILL 5K. Thanks to prayer, a snow day in the county where I work, and an angel knee brace i borrowed from a friend. I am headed out to buy one today! I also learned a new stretch for the outside of your knee.

Update

2008-01-29T20:06:00.000-08:00

Did the 5K on Saturday, just did a quick 2 miles before bed. Serious knee pain, not sure what the next move will be. Dr. Google says take at least 2 weeks off, but how do you do that when you are trying to increase mileage? Grrr.

Ouch

2008-01-24T18:59:00.000-08:00

3.2 miles yesterday, but I definitely have some sort of knee issue :(

Harder than it should have been...

2008-01-22T06:00:00.000-08:00

I set out today to run 4 miles, but for some reason, nothing was in sync. It was cold, but I had on too many layers and felt weighed down. My knee started to hurt, which has never happened before, by the end I was sort of limping. That had me really worried b/c I am supposed to run a race this Saturday. All in all, I ran 2.2, and walked .8.

Chugging Along

2008-01-19T20:32:00.000-08:00

2.5 for hubs this morning, 3.2 for me tonight. All on the treadmill, lest we freeze our tails off!

Running With a Sore Core

2008-01-18T08:07:00.000-08:00

Last night I met with some girlfriends and we worked out our "cores" with various sit-ups, stretches, jumps, and turns. Then this morning, I met a friend for my first outdoor run. It was cooooold. We ran 2, walked 1...and then I really noticed my "core". Ouch!

Made it 5K

2008-01-15T07:06:00.000-08:00

3.2 miles for me this morning. (and further than hubs has gone :)

Not To Be Outdone

2008-01-14T10:23:00.000-08:00

3 miles for hubs last night!

A Little Further

2008-01-13T11:22:00.000-08:00

2.52 miles yesterday for me!

Deja Vu

Taking Advantage of Nap

2008-01-03T11:34:00.000-08:00

AP's nap that is. I found time for a 1.5 mile run during nap time. So far, we have both been running on the treadmill, which is harder for both of us.

Can we do it this year?

2008-01-03T10:43:00.000-08:00

If you've been reading this for long, you know that Hubs ran the Music City Half Marathon last year and I.....well, I did not. I had been training with him, but got completely distracted by a little thing we refer to as AP:) We are attempting to train again, starting from GROUND ZERO. We are going to attempt to blog our progress here as a means of accountability. So here goes....
Me - 1.5 miles last night
Hubs - 2 miles on Monday
