What should I eat for breakfast?

Only 2 days left until race day....I'm getting exited and a little nervous for race day. I know that I won't be able to run the full 3.1 miles but I am ok with that. For now. I think I should be able to run at least half - probably more if I push myself. Hopefully, I'll get a good nights rest and wake up feeling ready to go. I was able to get 2 runs in this week so I'm pretty happy about that. I think tomorrow (weather permitting) I'm going to just go for a long walk since we're running on sunday. Sunday is also opening day for the Cardinals which we're pretty exited about too. We've just got to figure out where to go to watch the game since we don't have ESPN. Ok it's time for me to go now cuz I could just ramble on for ever. Wish us luck on Sunday! :)

Hopefully that's what I will look like on sunday! lol :)

T Minus 6 days and counting....

6 days till 5k day. Our running miles for the last week and a half have been non existent. Between having family here and Riley being in the hospital it just didn't happen. So I'm pretty sure that we will be running/walking on sunday. But at the same time it gives us motivation to keep at the training so that eventually we will be able to run the entire 3.1 miles. There is another 5k at the end of May that I think we are going to do and HOPEFULLY we'll be ready to run all of that one.
I love the warm weather we've been having. I love that everything is becoming new again. The flowers are blooming, trees are showing first signs of leaves and the grass is green. I don't like the allergies that come along with that but I guess that's just part of it. Anywhoo...I hope to get at least 2 runs in this week before the 5k on sunday. Let's just pray no one else gets sick an the weather stays nice! :)

A runless weekend :(

Well the weekend came and went and no runs for us. Boo. :( It was crazy busy and we stayed up super late all weekend and were too tired to go running anyway. But I am bummed none the less because it means that we are that much farther from being able to run the entire 3.1 miles on April 1. This week isn't looking too promising either weather wise. Hopefully we'll get breaks from the rain and we can get out there. But the time with the family has been good. Grandma's suprise party was great. It went by too fast. It was really good to see everyone though even if it was only for a short time. 13 days till race day....

Run, run as fast as you can..

My week has definately been busy as predicted. But it has also been very productive which is great. We got another run in yesterday. I've decided that running before dinner is difficult because I am hungry and all I want to do is get it over with so I can go home and eat. So we have yet to run our new longer route because of that. But I don't know when else we could run since Mike and I are running together. Maybe we can save the longer route for weekends. Yesterday's run started out good but the more we ran the more tired I got and I didn't even think I could finish out our time. But we did. Gotta keep pressing on...only 18 days left till the race. :)

A busy week ahead...

I've got a busy week ahead of me. Mike's family - Mom, Dad, Grandma, Brother & Wife & Kids are coming into town on Friday. So I've got lots to do around the house. Not only do I have the typical cleaning that is involved but I also am trying to get Madison & Riley's room organized. They need it bad. So there's lots to do. Not to mention I am not so motivated to do it since the weather is so nice. I just want to be outside! :)
Today I went and figured out a new course for us to run. It's about 3.5 miles. We were going to run/walk it today but we were running short on time so we just did our 2.5 mile route. It went well, my legs were tired even starting out. So my pace was a little slow today. But after we got home I was glad we went. I felt good. Hopefully we'll be able to get our 3 runs in this week. The 5k is only 3 weeks away.
In other news my compy has been doing some crazy things. Maybe because I dropped it last weekend....hummm.... So Mike is working on putting a new hard drive in it tonight. I pray that goes well and that was the problem. Otherwise we're in trouble. Well, I guess it's really me who's in trouble....

Productivity and nice weather make for a great day! Today was a great day. We spent most of the day outside playing, finishing staining a dresser that has been in our garage 3/4 of the way done since summer, cleaning the garage, and I also got to go for a run. I almost didn't go but it was so nice out that I felt like I couldn't let the opportunity slip away. Today was the first time I have gone on a run by myself. It was nice. I took the IPod and listened to Grits (a christian rap/R&B group) as I ran. It was great running music. It's fun to run to a beat. This was the longest run I have done yet and it felt great. Today I felt like the 5k is actually an attainable goal. Hopefully we'll get many more days like today which will make running more enjoyable. In a nutshell it was a good day - and it's not even over yet! :) Love, peace and hair grease.
