DID my 5 miles, this is slow down wek to get me ready for the 9 miles next week Holly COW. I did it in a pretty good time I figure in 65 minutes . I am flabbergasted when I did my first 5Miles it was in 80 m inutes I have taken 15 minutes off of it what a huge improvement I would say. The longer I run the faster I get WOOHOOO.

I am finally past the draggies from my TOM last week I am energized and ready to go to the next level. By the end of next month I'll be doing 10 miles How exciting don't ya think so long as I keep going.

My new runners are totally awesome and my body loves me for them. I just wanted to tell you all how stoked I am LOL.

Well I braved the wind and rain and humidity last night to get in 2.5 miles. I was aiming for 3 but my hip was a bit tender so I decided to cut it short. For some reason the first mile is always the hardest for me, but somewhere around 2 miles I really get my stride and feel like I could go on and on. I love that feeling!

Well I did my 10 miles this morning. I ran 20 freakin loops around the pond because of traffic being much heavier on a Mon as opposed to a Sun. (I run right around a elementry school) It was boring but you know what my time was 1:28:58. Seriously I couldn't believe it, but I guess since it is kind of like running on a track with only one short incline per loop it really does make sense. That and the whole no running for 3 days prior. I missed you all this weekend have a great week.

Sarah you are so awesome. You never let anything stop you. What an inspiration.

Betty, How are you?

Great job Reveal.

Hello all!

This weekend I moved onto the second week of Couch to 5k. I did it first on Saturday. I found that I was quite a bit more out of breath jogging for 90 seconds at a time as opposed to the 60 seconds on week one. I did it again on Sunday and it already seemed easier. I'm not sure if it was just the day or what.

I'm sitting here pouting because you guys are all out there running and doing so great! No running for me this week again. I have to have one of my knees x-rayed because I may have fractured the knee cap during my white water adventure. Bummer. I did ride my bike to work today though and I have been swimming. I'll be running with you as soon as I can!

Diana--I cannot believe you are still cycling and swimming. Amazing!!! Hope to hear good news from you visit with the Doc.

Yeah Betty, you will blow them away!!! Hope you get to feeling better, your body has been thru quite a bit this last week or so with the extra miles and stress of finding a new job. Take it easy.
