Wow, I barely even remember how to log on. 

 

I finally decided to take drastic action to make myself go running, because I have a 5K in March.  I had to sleep in my running clothes and crank up the volume on my alarm clock to rouse myself.  I still have some training to do, but I've also been doing a lot of running around with my friends so I suppose that counts, even though it's mostly sprinting for a few feet, stopping,  panting, and repeating the process.  I am really not good at freeze tag. ;-)

 

I am thinking about starting to blog some of my other sports on here too like gymnastics and horseback riding.  At least now I know the trick to making myself go for a run.  Those shorts actually make pretty good PJ's.  ;-)  I will attempt to go running this weekend or maybe on Monday morning.  LOL  

 

By the way, this was a treadmill run with a movie, and I did a pattern where I ran .1 miles and then walked .1 miles, over and over and over again until I got to about 1 mile.

Awesome job getting yourself up and onto that treadmill!! I definitely agree that blogging your other activity would be fun and helpful. You run around for over an hour at the Thursday group, and gymnastics and horseback riding are also great exercise.

Great blog entry comeback!

Welcome back! All forms of exercise are good.

Hi! Good to "see" you again. You asked about my goals for Chicago. Funny you should ask, because I am considering, given that it is on 10/10/10, running it in under 10 hours! Or maybe with 10 people.

Seriously, I don't really know yet. My marathon "pace" is 8:10 per mile, but I haven't ever run a distance race at anywhere near that pace. Hopefully as I get closer, I'll have a better idea about what is realistic. Newport will help!

Hey everyone I have decided I am going to start blogging my other sports too (horseback riding and gymnastics).

auntieem-- under 10 hours -- good goal!!!!! LOL ;-)

Don't forget our bike ride today. Approx. 2 miles. :)
