Day 196 (164 days to go)

Hi,                  Friday, April 23rd, 2010

I walked/ ran 2 miles on the treadmill outside until it started raining :) 

I walked/ran 6 miles this evening. I was feeling great except that my left groin area was holding me back with a bit of pain. I am happy to report that my shins are managing and my left quad isn't hurting anymore :) I tried my husbands idea of walking the curves on the track and sprinting the straights and this worked well except I didn't give it a shot until halfway through my workout. Happy about my pace for the distance :)

Total: 204 Miles!

Day 177 (183 days to go)

Hi,                           Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Oh yeah! I rocked it out today on the pavement no less :)

8 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes at a 18:45 pace :)

I tried to concentrate on endurance instead of speed today and get myself out on the concrete since ultimately that's where I'll be running the 26 miles on race day in October! I also was still recovering from shin splints because of running too fast last week and now instead of shin splints I'm feeling pain in my front right quad.

Total: 162 Miles!

Day 172 (188 days to go)

Hi,                      Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

:) I broke another record today!  2 miles in 24:54 which averages out to a 12:27 minute mile :)


I liked the skinny feeling of my legs in my jeans and feeling a bit motivated I got on the treadmill during the kids naptime and fast walk/jogged another 6 miles in 1 hr. 25:14 :) and it felt great!  This is a 14:12 minute mile pace.
I fast walked at a 4.0 and then jogged the last .10 of each lap at a 5.0 for the full duration of 6 miles!

Total: 150 Miles!
