My Magical Journey to Running the Half Marathon TR Link! p.107

[that's nice]

Thanks Just another day around here.

I'm not really sure at this point. I will probably just try to increase my speed. I'd like to be running 3 - 4 meals each time I workout. It's too early to begin officially training for the half so I haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to do. Once my husband returns from deployment this summer, I'll start doing some longer runs outside on the weekends.

Well I would say keep at it! Don't want to reach your goal, take a break, and have to start over again.

I'm sure this isn't advice, you already knew that!!!!!

Happy Birthday to YOU! Haven't posted much but I've been following your progress - you're doing so awesome!

Make sure you celebrate today - you know, go for a run or something

That's pretty much what I'll be doing - very shortly actually!

Yeah, Tim. The initial goal was just to be able to run for about 30 minutes so this program helps with that. Then I'll continue doing that and increasing my speed until it's time to start training. I want to get more miles under my belt.

Came over here from Jordan's TR!

It's so awesome you're going to run the marathon! Keep up the great work!

I think running 1/2 hour sessions is a great goal. For me, I wouldn't feel the need to go over that, unless I was training for 1/2 or something. It seems like once you get there, it would be a great time to start working on speed.

but who the heck am I to talk? I can't even run for more than 60 seconds yet!!

Happy birthday Carissa
I was due to go to the gym tonight but now they're issueing severe weather warnings for blizzards etc so don't think I'll risk driving. Did go for 2 hr walk/stroll with my sister on monday-only problem is we end up at a coffee shop so we consume any calories we burn

 

[DisMomAmy]

Congratulations on the 25 minute run!! You are doing so great!!

And Happy Birthday!!!

But don't eat the whole cake...

At least you walk to the coffee shop!

Thanks Amy! We're actually going out to Macaroni Grill for dinner. I have my meal picked up - pasta with veggies, tomato basil sauce. It's low cal and no meat (if I can't get organic meat, I've decided not to eat it). And I will let myself have some of the yummy bread. They have some lemon pound cake that we'll get for dessert (we don't normally get dessert, but this is a special occassion) and one slice isn't too high in calories. I was going to make cupcakes at home, but this way I won't have any leftovers!

It is so amazing that you are training to run in the half marathon! That has always been a dream of mine, it sounds like you are doing awesome! Keep up the great work....now I have to get caught up on trip plans!

And of course....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful day that started with receiving a fruit arrangement from my parents. My birthday presents from Chuck, purchased at his first port call, are on their way to me. They were bought while he was in Dubai so I'm very anxious to see what what he got me.
