1/2 Marathon

So ladies....I am thinking we should all do some web browsing and look up various 1/2 marathons for the fall. I think if we pick one and commit then we'll really be able to do this! Plus then we'll now how far out we'll actually need to start doing long runs - and we can all get on the same training schedule - but we wouldn't need to be doing that till the summer! So we have plenty of time! I just know that once we sign up - we're in and we have to do it! :o)

So I didn't get to run yesterday because I had class from 9 am - 6:30 pm :/ but I did get to go to the dog park on Monday with the dog I was watching for a friend. We for 20 min - I am not sure of the exact distance because the mile markers are odd - or I am odd and haven't figured them out. Anyway - getting back into running has been an adjustment to me - two miles used to be my "off" day - but now that is about how much I run - I am going to stick with running 20 min for awhile and just get a base back -- but I know I'll need to increase soon!

I am thinking of getting a gym membership. It is $50 a month - there is a free gym at the school but it looks like a jail, there are never any girls there, it smells and it is dirty. aka not very encouraging to work out. My friend Abby is a member at a gym that has great classes, and equipment that you type a code into and it tracks your progress/tells you what to be lifting and if youre doing the lift correctly - it sounds wonderful. Best of all they have a lap pool! So hopefully I could train for triathlons again too! I really miss the pool - actually, if any of you have pool access, you may want to try swimming laps once a week! It is a great break from the pounding of running - but still a really great workout! I have some old swim workouts from my Team in Training days that I can post later!

Love you all and happy running! ps send me the running mix!!
