9 mile 11 hours ago

run/walk with the group. Not as difficult as previous long runs, though those last 3 miles were hard. I think it helped that I had done a maintenance run, and, I was one of the timers to keep the 3:1 run/walk ratio. It was easier to keep going knowing when the end was coming (a walk break). I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Even though I am not fast, I am doing it.

So it's official 2 days ago

I’m registered for the Royal Victoria Half Marathon on October 11th at 7:30 am.

-Leg press, Explosive lunges, Squats, Chest Press, Shoulder Press, Bicep Curls, Roman Chair, Plank, Pushups…lots.

Tuesday: Boot Camp

Wednesday: Ran 3 miles

Thursday: Ran 3 miles

Friday: 1 hour of weigh training

Saturday: 3 mile run.

This is totally ridic!



I am currently training for a half marathon 3 days ago

I just found out that there’s a half marathon in Lake Tahoe in 10 weeks. I am currently training for this event, running five days a week. Monday’s and Wednesday’s I ‘race’ a normal 5 or 10 k, Fridays consist of Farlek running, Saturdays consist of Hill(s) training, and Sunday’s are black-out, long running days. This is week is my second consitant week, and my long run is at 5 miles. I up my long run by 1 mile a week, which give me 9 weeks to get my mileage up before the marathon in September. I’ll run around 14 miles this week. I think its a good start considering its my second consistant week of running.

So Totally PUMPED! 3 days ago

Had some kind of a major breakthrough this morning. Did ten miles in 113 minutes. I know that’s slow, but you have to consider that I started off training with not even being able to run a full minute. :) I think I can definitely pull this off by next year’s race. Maybe even consider doing the full marathon instead?

more hills 4 days ago

I’d taken this weekend off from running, because my hip has been bothering me. Today was my first day back, and I ran hill repeats with my running group.

It was a different hill than last time (shorter and steeper), but it went well. I did about 4.5 miles if you include warm-up and cool-down.

Got behind on reporting my training because I was out of state for a week. While traveling, I was still able to run about 2 miles a day. Since being back, my training schedule went like this:

Thursday, July 2nd – 5 mile run
Friday July 3rd – 3 hour bike ride, 5 mile run
Saturday, July 4th – 3 hour bike ride, 2 hour hike
Sunday, July 5th – 2 hour climb, 2 mile run
Monday, July 6th – 2 hour climb, 1 mile run
Tuesday, July 7th – 5.5 mile run

4 mile run/walk with the group on Sat July 4, then tonight I did an approx 3.5 mile run/walk in my neighborhood. Going very slow but still going!



For my wife 2 weeks ago

I don’t really want to do this, but my wife plans on doing one this November, so I told her I’d run with her. In our other races (shorter ones, only 5k’s so far) I go at my own pace, which is much faster than her, but in this one I’ll be with her the whole way.

My plan is to only train enough for a 12k (7.5 miles) at my pace, which I’m hoping will translate into enough training to do 13 miles at my wife’s pace.
