Sucks. I only ran 3 days last week.

Going to have to “make up” for that by doing every single day this week.

It rained a couple days and was cold and I just wussed out. I ran this evening and will do it the rest of this week too.

I hope it doesn’t rain!!

 So here is what I am doing this week.  I know it’s Wednesday, and this is my first run this week, but I am supposed to do this 4-6 times this week. So if I run Thurs-Sun I will be at 5. I’ll likely have to skip one of those days due to rain anyway. So I will get 4 runs in this week. I’ll just make em count. Tonight was fairly rough. And cold b/c it was breezy.

Andrea had to do a short film for her film class, and I was lucky enough to be the actor in it.

My niece is quite possibly the most genius person I know. Check out this chat:

Just got back from run #2. It’s kinda chilly out there. Says it’s 56, and a little breezy.

I’m going to try to figure a way of updating that I am doing the running, without necessarily having to do a full post every time.

We shall seeeee

Ok take two on the ol’ runnin’.

So the Capitol 10K is coming up once again – just shy of 8 weeks away – how the heck did it sneak up on me like that??

And I have to run it. So, gotta get back into running on the quickity quick.

Since I haven’t been running AT ALL, I needed to find one of those Couch to 5K,10K plans. So I chose this one:

I started it tonight. Went to the local middle school track just now, and ran/walk my first mile.

Here’s my schedule for this week:

Walk 1/2 lap, then jog 1/2 lap, walk a half, jog a half for 1 mile. Now no matter how good you feel, go home.

I am to do this 4-6 times this week… so 3-5 times left.

I’ll try to get this blog a crankin too
