5X400
Wow, this is the first time I have done this kind of workout. My husband and I started a new training schedule (Hal Higdon intermediate half marathon) I think we probably ran too fast, about 1:30 - 1:45 per 1/4 mile. That was really tough for me. My husband did better, 1:18 - 1:30 per 1/4 mile. I know that is not very fast for some people, but I know I couldn’t keep that pace for very long. I’ve got a long way to go. Does it ever get any easier?

its good to be back
I’ve been in Indonesia for the past 2 weeks. It isn’t possible to run there and I really missed it. Now I am fighting jet lag but was able to go for a slow run tonight with my husband and niece. It felt really good to get out and move. This is the first day of our 12 week trainging schedule (half marathon) I am looking forward to the discipline of training for a goal again.

strength training
Worked out for about an hour, tried to hit all the muscle groups. Started a new training guide this week for a 10K. My husband and my niece are doing it with me. I must admit I feel like I am going backwards, after training for a half marathon and logging so many miles, now I am only running 3 or 4. But it’s all worth it to have my husband and niece running with me, I hope they stick with it. I am also going on a missions trip to Indonesia and will be gone from October 19th - November 1st. When I return I’m hoping we can all start training for another half marathon.

first half marathon
I did it, I competed my first half marathon (Disneyland) and it was incredible. All the hard work and training paid off. I had a great experience and can’t wait to do it again. My time was 2:24:16 which I know isn’t great but it was great to me. Never having run that far before, I just wanted to finish the race. My body felt pretty good the whole way and the excitement of the crowd kept my energy up. I am a little sore today but oh so happy, the only thing that would have made it better is to have someone in the race with me. My husband was there in a support roll which he did very well, now I am trying to talk him into running, that would be great.

last run before race day
That was my last run before the race on sunday. It was only 2 miles but it was hard. I think I went out too fast on a slight hill, then I promptly started huffing and puffing. That wasn’t really a confidence booster. I now have two days to sit around and build up some energy. I sure hope I can do it, doubts are starting to plague me. Lord help me!

Long Run (at least for me)
My daughter and I ran on the Santa Monica Boardwalk yesterday for our long run, we managed to run 7 miles without stopping. That was definitely a goal realized, I never thought I could do that. The first 4 miles weren’t too bad but I had to do a lot of praying on the last 3, God is so good to me though, He really got me through with a better overall pace than usual. Today I am pretty worn out, recovery is taking longer as the miles add up.

Run - 0.9 hours - 07/25/2008
Ran 4.5 miles this morning after having two days off (not by choice) I just had too much going on to get out there. I wasn’t prepared for today though, didn’t drink enough water before and really suffered for it. Won’t be making that mistake again. Five more weeks until my race, I hope I can do it.

6 mile run
I’m so excited, I managed to run six miles. I am new running and have been following a training schedule. I have to admit I wasn’t really sure I could do it. If you told me a few months ago that I would be running 16 miles a week I would have told you “you’re crazy” But I really enjoy running.

Week 4 of training
It’s starting to get easier, ran 4 miles today and was able to improve my time, not that my time is good per say but it’s good for me. Six weeks until race time, I’m getting excited and a little nervous about being able to go the distance. I have an easy day tomorrow.
