3/8 - Monday's Run

ran 1.95 mi on 3/8/2010 at 6:20 PM with a pace of 15'30"/mi

on the treadmill with an incline of 3 because it was raining outside.

Well, another 5k to train for....

{I have really been AWOL from running for soo long}

Back on October 21st I participated in my FIRST 5k ever!  I haven't done one since :)  Well, my son, Kaleb, is a cross country runner and want to do a 5k here in our little town next month and he wants me to do it with him.

Soo, I have been thinking all day about doing this 5k.  I think I will do it.  it is on the 27th, which only gives me 1 month and 1 day to start training!  I haven't ran since, well, probualy since the last 5k I did in October!

I guess I better get my running shoes on and start hitting the pavement or treadmill.

Week 1 : 1/10 - 1/16

Since I really slacked on the running the end of last year, I am going to try and be better this year.  I am starting this week.... I plan on doing 3 days of walking/ running and 2 days of something other (ie. Wii fit, tennis, ect.)

1st 5k Race !!!

Well, I did it !  I ran AND finished my FIRST 5k race!!!  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I was a little nervous.  I don't have a running partner, which I think all the other runners had.  I didn't "run" as much of it as I would have liked, but I haven't been training for over a month.  My goal was to finish in 45 minutes.  My finish time was 46:17.45!!  Not too far off from my goal.  My son placed 2nd in his age group and got a medal!

Human Race 10k

I am happy to announce that I finished the 10k !  I didn't do as well as I wanted, but considering I took off a month or soo (laziness I think!) I guess I should be happy I finished !!
