moderate training

I ran 5 miles yesterday from Dan's apartment to work (I had to go in to the office yesterday for a few hours... bleh). Then I took the short route and ran the 2 miles back to his apartment up the 16th street hill. Both runs felt good and I'm not sore at all today.

We have our gigantic meeting at work this week and I'm pretty sure I won't get to run during the week. I'm going to attempt to get in 1 short 3-4 mile run before the weekend, and then maybe an 8-10 mile run on Saturday or Sunday. Then maybe a couple 3 mile runs next week.

Then... I get to see you in Texas!!!!

So proud of you, Jess!

That's amazing!!!!

I ran for the first time since the 10-miler on Friday. I ran 3 miles. I also ran 4 on Sunday.

I think I might be in trouble ;-)

On another note, I'm really enjoying Born to Run. It gets me pumped to run :-)

So my goal is to run 10 miles, walk .5 miles, then finish the last bit on sheer will.

How's your sister's and her boyfriend's training going?

inspiration

so, the marathon movie inspired me. quite honestly, it made me feel lazy and weak because im doing a 1/2 marathon... not the full thing...

so i ran.

i did my least favorite run (see tuesday, april 28 blog). its not terribly long- 5 miles- but its really hilly. its a gorgeous run, but ive never actually been able to run it in its entirety. within the 5 miles, there are 4 unbelievably steep hills. i usually can convince myself that i can run 2 or 3 of the 4, but never all 4. its all usually done at my lovely 10 minute mile pace.

SO today i ran it all. like all 4 steep hills. and i did it in 45 minutes (9 minute miles?????) What?!

i wish i had a spare hour and 43 minutes everyday to watch the marathon movie before all my runs.
