Saturdays are so much fun!!

It was great to see everyone today. If it was not for you guys...well...I would probably be a lazy couch potato instead running right now.
I hope everyone had a good time getting in thier 7 miles today. I did. I was hoping for a little bit of a faster pace but I was happy with 1 hour and 13:45. It was right at a 10:49 mile pace if I was consistent.
I am definitely sore thought. I was actually sore before starting out today from the yard work I did yesterday. I have taken several alieve and am going to see if that helps.
Oh..almost forgot....Several of us are going to get together again at Lakeshore Park on Thursday again. The more the merrier!!Come JOIN us if you can.

Hello all..

today several of us marathoners got together at Lakeshore Park around 5pm. We did five miles and it was GREAT! We are going to try and make it a weekly ritual for those that can make it. We actually got started around 5:10. Come and JOIN us!:)

Today...

I finished my intern hours at the VA Medical Center. I now have to finish up a few loose ends with Jackson State and if all goes well, I am done. Yeah!!! It feels awkward to have some time to rest and hang out. It is hard to relax when you have been going at a fast pace for over four months now with almost no break.
I ran for 47 minutes and implemented some speed work. I went a little longer because of the hills. Instead of jogging down I walked which I took slowly. I also had to make it back home!:)

Running buddies do matter!

This afternoon I kept hoping it would start raining & lightning. It definitely seemed to take forever to get in my minutes today running by myself. I did 2 & 1 for 43 minutes. Probably could have gone longer.
I am looking forward to running Thursday at Lakeshore Park. Those who want to join are welcome to attend. I will be there at 5 pm.

Great Run!

Today was great! I met several individuals today that I was very glad to get to know. Boy, it did not seem like 6 miles today and I credit that to Mary, Pam and Sam. Speaking to you guys took my mind off of running and definitely upped the enjoyment.
I posted in the forum that several of us marathoners are going to try and meet on Thursdays around 5pm at Lakeshore Park. Anyone who would like to join us is welcomed. The more the merrier!

running is fun!

or at least that is what I am going to keep telling myself. Today was not a great run day for me. I ran/walked for 50 minutes, but I mostly walked. My shins? were killing me again today. I stretch every chance I get and I am working through it.

Feet Fleet group run was fun!

I got up the nerve to go to the group run Feet Fleet has every Thursday. It was great meeting other runners. I did five miles (back of the pack but kept going) in 55 minutes and 20 seconds. That is with the stops at the red lights and a several minute break at the water point.
Hope everyone is doing well. I am doing fine but my chins have been bothering me some. I am stopping to stretch them out as needed and doing extra stretches through the day.

Hey! Hey! Why do we go....

...I don't know either. Anyway, I am thinking of going to Feet Fleet tomorrow for the 5 or 9 mile and of course...do the 5 mile run. It sounds like it is for a good cause. I was wondering if any others might show.
Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine is going well so far. I am sorry to miss out on the run on Saturday but I will be at Camp Shelby training with the guard. You guys have a good one.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter.
Well, today I did some weight lifting here at the house and some lunges. Later today I am going to do some abs and maybe take my dog around the neighborhood to enjoy the day.

If this does not work, go to www.runnersworld.com and look for the article above. It is great. I have not finished reading but was so excited about it I had to blog about it. It is so motivating. It is about the first college woman to take on the all male Boston Marathon.

To a foggy morning...

It was so foggy and eery this morning but I did like Robin suggested and laid my clothes out the night before. Monday's are a late day for me since I go to school all day. I don't have to be at school until 8:30am. I keep telling myself I am going to start working out at 5am, but I I don't know if I could get up that early to workout every day.
For those of you who missed Saturdy, it was great. A must see!
