keepin on

it's been a crazy couple of weeks w/ being out of town at a mortgage conference in atlanta and then 4th of july weekend, but i'm back on task...next saturday we have to run 4 miles...my weekly runs this week are monday, tues, thurs, saturday (long run)

not to mention, it is H-O-T but that's ok, just more calories burned, right?

4 miles

yesterday was a little over a 4 mile run w/ some walking intervals especially after 2 miles. melissa, ashley, and lj were also there yesterday so that rocks. vanessa has definitely given me extra motivation to keep going, and she doesn't know it yet, but as soon as she beats her battle w/ cancer - we're going to do a race together =)

michelle, darren, megan, andee', and jon-mical were camping in benton this weekend so i got to spend some time w/ them and "attempt" to fish LOL....after all the father's day stuff today, thomas may come help us fish since my attempt was so unsuccessful LOL

today is my "off" day, tomorrow running starts up again =)

lets get it started

last night i went to a discussion at sport spectrum about running and nutrition, although, i'd still like to talk w/ someone about running and nutrition for people that are trying to lose weight as well as meet a performance goal.

tonight is 20 minute run according to schedule...I'm not quite up to running 20 minutes straight yet without stopping, but can for about 12-13 minutes so will do my best to "break through the wall" and get it done =)

I hopefully will start a running class tanya tingle told me about that is tuesday and thursday mornings at 6am...I'm waiting to hear back from the coach first though on signing up and location, etc.

the beginning of usa fit shreveport

today was the time trial for usa fit shreveport...i was sooo nervous - i thought i was going to be sick LOL =) but it was awesome...i knew a few folks there and everyone was so encouraging...we did 2 miles and they didn't give out the official times, but at the mile mark I was at 12:00 and then I think by the time on my phone i finished the 2nd mile in 16 min making my total time around 28 minutes, so yea, i have a while to go (since that should be my 3 mile time) but i have 27 weeks to get better =)

I'm pumped! I'm going to a thing at sports spectrum tomorrow that is supposed to be informational about nutrition, hydration, running stuff, etc.

i can't wait to go again next saturday...it's a lot of great people coming together to do something BIG...I love it! =)

Movin' Right Along

Last night was leg workout and cardio....got back to the gym this morning and did 40 minutes of incline treadmill & bike cardio and 1 hour of back, chest & abs then had a nice whole wheat english muffin w/ egg white and turkey sausage and it was soooo good - i'm glad I didn't have another one w/ me b/c I probably would have eaten it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Me & Boose are going to run tonight again...I'm excited...Saturday is coming up soon! USA FIT!

Time to get to work =)

one step closer

I got 3 miles done yesterday afternoon- i got my timed mile down to a 12 min mile (was a 14 min mile) and I'd really like it to be 10...I'm going to start trying to just try to run longer "times" and not focus on the pace/distance so much...i can't wait to go saturday to the time trial deal and get a real "plan" for the next 27 weeks until white rock marathon. i think that will help me a lot - i'm USUALLY better when I have a set plan of do this and when to do it and what to do.

still long way to go, but i'm gonna get there...i'm headed to work then doing cardio/weights at the gym then meeting boose at the park afterwards for more cardio (either walking or bike riding probably)

I think I've got 2 more folks roped into the whole marathon deal "insert evil professor laugh here" no, for real - i'm pumped...the more the merrier...after all, it's not worth going to the top of the mountain, w/o good people to share the experience w/ you - i'm excited

it's gonna be a good day, one step closer... =)
