6 + 9 + 3

Posted: March 24, 2009 in Long Run, Running

The 6 I did at home on the treadmill (the original plan was to go 3, but I have this co-worker that’s training for the 1/2 as well, and HE was running 6 that evening! lol). It wasn’t easy, because I had nothing good to watch. Well, what I wanted to watch didn’t work out [...]

3 miles – intervals

Posted: March 18, 2009 in Blogroll, Running

My intervals are for the birds right now, at least that’s what I have come to realize today. SLOW! It will get better, I know it. Or so I tell myself. It was a great day out to run and I enjoyed the sunshine and cooler air. Shorts weather…yay! (I did wear gloves; I have [...]

3.1 and a long 8

Posted: March 15, 2009 in Blogroll, Running

I don’t remember much of the 3.1, because it’s been a few days, but the 8 is still fresh. The first half mile as good, which surprised me, because usually I am struggling until I get warm. The next 2 miles where not fun. First I started with shin splint pain in my right leg. [...]

Pretty Duck

Following is a conversation the hubby and I had after seeing a runner moving gracefully down the road. Hubby: Look, there goes a runner. Me: I wish I was that graceful. Hubby: What do you mean? Me: I don’t run like that. I run like a duck out of water. Hubby: Yeah, but you are a [...]

Some lifting and 4

I rode the elliptical rider for 20 minutes on Monday and then lifted some weights…upper body. I am pretty sore today even though I didn’t really push it. The weatherforcast was 71 degrees and raining. When I stepped ouside, in shorts and t-shirt it was 49 and overcast. At first I thought it would be [...]

4 plus 7

Posted: March 8, 2009 in Blogroll, Long Run, Running, Treadmill

I ran 4 on Thursday (3/5/09) on the treadmill. The 7 miler long run I planned on doing outside. But it appears that I am no longer immune to rain (haha) and decided that I should run the 7 on the treadmill instead of taking the chance to melt in the intermittened rain we had [...]

5k and 6

Posted: March 2, 2009 in Running

I ran 3.1 on the treadmill on Friday, took the day off on Saturday and ran 6 outside on Sunday. The hubby peddled beside me on Friday. We watched a movie while we worked out. That was kind of nice having him there. I am hoping to be able to drag him down there with [...]
