Running Mate Update

I'm so excited!  If you remember this post you know I've been working really hard at getting back into exercising.  It hasn't been easy; I've had to skip (quite) a few days due to some health issues.   But I keep telling myself that I'm going to finish what I've started.

I just finished with week 7 of the Running Mate challenge.  That means that I've gone from running 2 minutes (and admittedly not liking it) to now running a full 12 minutes (and loving it!)!!!  Week 7 has me running three 12 minute intervals with a 3 minute recovery between each run.  When I finish, I've covered 3 miles in about 45 minutes!

Next up, well tomorrow, is a full 30 minute run with no recovery breaks!  And after that, I'll be ready for my first 5k!  So now my search to find a nearby 5k mid-March begins!  Here I go!!!!

  3. I'm thinking about giving it a try, once we get a treadmill I'm not afraid to run on or the snow melts... whichever comes first...

  4. Irish Jig in EGR is on March 20th. I LOVED this race last year! I'm super bummed I can't do it this year since we'll be on our way home from vacation that day. It's a fun race!
