Still Truckin’ Along
November 2nd, 2010 § 2 Comments
I haven’t forgotten about this blog, I promise! I just don’t feel the need to document every run like I did in the beginning, and of all my goals on my list, the running is the one I am focusing on the most right now.
I’m on W5D2 today, and I think I’m going to repeat D2 again before my 20 minute run. I have since started running outside, and honestly, it’s been harder outside than on the treadmill, so I am just working on building up endurance. Since going outside, I have to say I’ve really begun to enjoy my runs. Because it’s finally cooling down more and more, often times my runs are done in 65 degree weather, which in my opinion, is perfect. I really enjoy the fresh air, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the cool breeze. I really don’t want to have to get back on the treadmill, to be honest!
My mom has committed to flying down to Houston to watch my girls the weekend of the Half Marathon. She and the girls will drive up to Austin, but they three will stay at their own hotel (definitely with a pool!). My mom is awesome enough to let me have a grown up girls weekend, but also bring my girls so they can see their mom run the race. (and Auntie Steph) Of all my supporters, they are probably my biggest. Everyday after school they come home and ask “Did you run today?!” It’s cute. I think they’ll be excited to see us run the race and cheer us all on.
I’m thinking about signing up for a 5k in the near future, seeing as I am nearing the end of the program. Maybe the Turkey Trot in Dallas since we’ll be up there for the holiday? Not quite sure. I’ll keep you posted.
What are you talking about? We’re not letting YOU have a big girls weekend, you’re letting US have a play weekend!! I might even see if grandma wants to come along (like I’ll have to twist her arm, do ya think?)
I think that will be awesome!
