BROWN SANTA 5K!! 38:40 my best time yet!!
I mostly walked and ran just a tiny bit.
I walked really fast. The course had a lot of hills.
It was fun! I am excited about March 1st.

4.5 miles 56:23

I ran/walked the trail around the Costco shopping center.
For those who want to know - one lap is 1 1/2 miles. I found the manager of the place and he told me. So we did three laps, 12.5 minute miles when is better then I did on Monday.
I am doing the Brown Santa 5K this Sunday with my firefighter friend and her station. I am doing it just for fun (and walking) just to see what it is like. I have never run in a race or even been to one to watch. I have to know what to expect. I am doing the fun run and not the chip time so I will time my self.
I am taking tomorrow off. If you are running outside tomorrow bundle up! It's gonna be chilly!

TREADMILL walk/run
3.1 miles 41:28
I ran a lot on the treadmill but my time does not reflect. What's up with that?
Anyway I am running on a trail tomorrow with my firefighter friend.
Wish me luck!

3.1 miles 41:42 My best time yet!
I went with a friend who is a Firefighter (so in good shape) and a runner.
She helped me a lot. She does 30 seconds hard run 90 seconds race walk.
We did that twice during our walk/run until I could not do it anymore.
Feels good to run again!
I downloaded Pinks new song. That is a good one to move to!

I Did It - I am freezing

And my time is.... about 46 minutes. I was able to run most of it. I think I'll be able to do better after a few more runs. I had shin fractures a few years ago from running and I didn't want to kill myself on the first day.

It was dang scary running in the dark on Beckett. I hated running past the park! But when I stepped outside I had the most beautiful view of Orion. God gave me a great gift there!

Teresa - are you running at the gym or in the hood?

Ready to RUN

First of all - Hello again ladies...I am glad to be a "true" part of your group now. :) Yesterday was the first time in a few weeks that I got out and walked/ran (not sure on the distance) but did it for about an hour. I still need to work on the running with a stroller part of my "training."

Saturday 11/15 3 miles

OK  so I finally did it.  Walk/ run and almost puked in 40 min.   Yea!!  I'm so excited I pushed myself to try.  But for lunch I had a huge Philly cheesesteak  sandwich.  No my best choice as of yet.  Next time I will take it lighter on the food before attempting to kill myself.

SATURDAY 11/15

Walk/Run 3.1 miles 45:38
It was windy and chilly and very hard for me today. My lips are chapped, my nose is running, my throat is dry and whine whine whine.
But I did it!

FRIDAY

Wed/Th

Ok we're doin' it... I got up at 5:30 this morning to workout without Jon being home! Yay me. I am tired at this point, but he is finally home tonight. I am planning on running on Monday morning. Jessie - I can't see your post about your time, but I did see Teresa's at 48 min. Kandi? Oh, and Mandy's gonna join us. She is brave. That baby is still teeny, and she started running last week!

Tuesday 11/11

Did you guys work out today? V and Z are at school, and T just went down for a nap. I'm gonna go do my thing. March sure seems like a long time away.

I just checked out the race - did you guys know it's going to be on a Sunday morning?

The websote has a counter at the top of the page that says the race is 109 days away. That's like, a third of a year!

Should we invite other people to join us?

Great plan

This is a pretty great running plan to get started with.

What's your time/goal?

Hey ladies -
Let's kick it off by logging your 5k time (outdoors), and if you have any personal goals that go along with it.

I want to lose 10 pounds from last Monday so that I can be at the weight I was post-Zander. I hope I can do that in about 16 weeks.
