Well today I made my first real attempt at running and I ran 2 miles straight plus about a mile walking. Hoping to run 2 miles a day for the next couple weeks and eventually get up to 3 miles in one shot!
My ultimate goal is to be able to run 10 miles in one shot by September 1st!

okay, not the fastest I can, but just as long as I finish my 10 miles, I’ll be happy! I haven’t ran more than 5 so this is definitely a challenge. I’ve been training and have signed up for a race in May. The hubz has even bought me a pair of real running shoes. I’m all set! Can’t wait!

which is 8 miles. I am pretty excited! Hopefully it will motivate me to train harder. I’m in school and work 25 hours a week so I defiantly need something to push me.

I should be posting on the half marathon board but oh well.
My official training starts in just a week. It’s an 8 week program.

I didn’t train for this one at all, so my time was way worse than I wanted it to be. I crossed the finish line in an hour and a half without stopping once! I wasn’t proud of the time, but that was the longest I have ever run for, and I did it without having run a step in a few months. Now to shave off a half hour or so!

Wow, the last couple of months have been so hectic for me I totally forgot about this goal :[ I haven’t ran in such a long time, I have to start over. I guess over the summer I will have ample time to start back at 2 miles and and increase my distance by 10% each week. Here we go again…..

working towards it. Getting better each day on running 2 miles. Should be able to run 3 miles mid of the month

I am about 8 lbs above my ideal weight goal, which is 140. When I ran a marathon several years ago, I weighed 133. Of course, I am older now and will probably never be that way again, so 140 is fine. Anyway, taking care of this goal will probably take care of goal 42 as well.

I bought a $6 training manual and I have my “running journal”. I think running journals are boring, but the training manual says it’s necessary, and I see their point. Statistically, I am less likely to miss a run if I have to account for every run.
Now I found a use for the journal a friend bought me a couple of years ago.
My official training start date is June 22, 2008.
I have to get my base training done before I can do real training.
I am training for the training, then I will be training for the marathon, lol.

A good goal...

I did it once. I haven’t run much in the last several months, and I haven’t run 10 miles in 3-4 years. I’ve gained a little bit of weight in the stomach area so I think having a running goal will help me shed a bit.
