Owwwww.

I am going back to running tomorrow! My toe is feeling not too bad, and I was looking at my run date. I gotta get back into this pretty quick, as it is I am going to be cutting my training pretty close to the actual run date. I got my calender out, and if I remain injury free (definitely watching my feet a little closer when getting up so early in the morning!), I can do it all. I am SO determined to do it, partly because SO many people think I'm just not going to do it. Out of the 5 people who had agreed to do the run with me, only 1 person hasn't cancelled on me. I can do this! I WILL do this!

Hey All!
So I am super proud of myself!
Yest at my track workout - which I missed last week - we did a timed mile and a half. guess how fast I ran it? And i want to tell you - we first did a mile warm up - then we did 4 400s, each progressively faster and finally an 800 - so I ran 2.5 miles before we did the timed 1.5 mile. So did you guess yet??

12:10 - 12:10!!! that is like almost an 8 minute mile (well I think at the mile marker I was at 8:12....) but still - whoo hoo! only 30 seconds to trim off my mile before I get to the 7:40 mark that I want! yeah! yeah! yeah!!!!!

bida - Congrats!!! :) Thats awesome!

I went for a run today, first in like over a week :( But I did it! I did week 3 day 1, it felt good. Not TOO hard, I am believing that I can do this 5km after all! :) Oh plus - I lost 6 pounds in the last week.. :)

I am fully back into training, it's going pretty good. I am amazed at how much my body is willing to take in terms of how long I am running for these days. Some days I feel like I can totally do it.. others not so much.. heh. I guess the truth is.. I AM doing it.

I've been taking a break, I hope to restart the C25K program soon though, sometime after all these midterms and projects are up... Yay, I missed the runner's thread...

Good Luck on your WORKOUTS GIRLS! Its a new month!

Hey all!
So i'm debating running a half marathon in a month - I really doubt that is long enough away to actually train for one - but I wonder if it will help jump start my fitness goals - since I will have to do these runs.

hrm.

last night was 4.25

1600 warm up
1600 at 5K pace 2 minute break
4X400s with 30 second break each faster
1600 at 5k pace
1 lap (400) cool down.

Didn't really run today, but got in some machine cardio... felt good! I missed it! Is that weird? LOL

Dreamer - heck no it's not weird! I feel like I get a high when I run.

bida - what kidna training are you doing? And with who?

Do you gals run outside or inside? I'm running outside and wow.. it's cold and wet these days! I got soaked thru my BRA today, and I was wearing bra, tank top, long sleeved shirt and semi waterproof jacket. But I'm still doing it despite the rain.. I'm kinda proud of that :) What do you think I'm going to need when it gets colder?

RUNNERS!

Okay, sorry for the enthusiasm there. I have just taken up running with my sister this year. We were going pretty well until about six weeks ago. We've had a bit of stress put on us and the habit sort of fell out.

I'm just looking for motivation, and posting here will keep it on my mind to run more often. :D

*note to self* RUN TODAY!

hello runners
 

I ran my second half marathon on Sunday 21km and it was great:carrot:

Keep on running!!!!!!!!!!!!


Take care,
regards from Uli

whoo hoo uli!

i run in socalifornia - so it doesn't get too cold here - in ny i used to run inside after a while - but I didnt'' really train in the winter - went to the gym but... :)

and it never rains here unless it is january - I know - sad life for me!

runners...what cha doing???

i ran five miles on sat and then went hiking with some trail running - not a lot - but I mixed it up - on sunday - a most beautiful LA day. I could see all the way to the ocean from my hieght - including LA downtown - which is a bit unusual considing it is LA :)

I'm still running! Tomorrow I am due to run 2 miles with no walking breaks.. I'll be interested to see how that works out, I'm pretty sore from work today. My goal is to get at LEAST half way there and then maybe walk for 90 seconds or so if I'm really sore or its too hard. Being a beginner sucks!

I need to get my *** in gear and at some point tonight run 5 miles....
get our asses in gear people! Good luck aimee! u can do it!
