Ok I have to share... so I apologise...

When I set my goal for this challenge I thought there was NO WAY I would come close to hitting it.... now Im 2 runs away from getting to 100%

For me who has had so much trouble running in the past just the fact ive been able to show some consistency is a MASSIVE achievement...

So I wanted to share... hope thats ok!

Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!

Thanks!!! Just waiting til it starts to get easier

But if I can keep it up maybe that would be a good thing... consistency? Im hoping this has set me up for the entire run training thing going forward...

Never would have thought that was possible!

I understand just when I think it is getting easier... I found running really needs consistency; biking and swimming don't for me.

Well I got told to run 3 times a week for about half an hour for a month and it should get better...

So that was my goal for this month... not sure about better but at least Im doing it... ust dont seem to be seeing any improvements much yet...

 

my sister is a marathon runner and her running group does the 5:1 ratio run..they run 5 minutes walk 1 minute...run 5 minutes walk 1...she has a beeper that she wears on her hat...we did this when we ran together...i was bumming at first...but I did notice my run times were better then when I only ran...I think you are able to give more to the running time after you rest...plus the end you feel you have more then if you were to all out run. I may try this for my next 10k run. see how I do...anyone else hear of this tactic? she had one of her buddies run in a mountainous area...and really thought she would do awful and instead had her PB time...beating times she ran in the flats!? so this has intriqued me! she said runners dont have to do the 5:1...if you are just starting you may want to do 1:1 or 2:1 and work you way up!

I agree, I did my first 8 mile last summer and my friend did it with me and she was a marathoner, she had me walk all the drink stations and I did very well with that, I will be doing the same or even your above method for all my long runs.

I love this concept! even though I know that when you get in the heat of the race...the thought of a competitor passing me during the walk...may not come so easy!  

I totally understand that, but it is our own race!

so true...and just let them wait to the end...when I go BLOWING past them!

HOPEFULLY that is!! haha

I wrote that in my edit!

I am trying to stay consistent but it is not that easy when your kids keep getting sick!  Picked up one with the runs today, they other still with a cold, both home tomorrow, I called my hubby to inform him he needs to come home early so Mom can get her training in!  I am so over the sick kid thing..................

 

sounds like you need Aunt Julie to come visit!

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a tri in July,  (it rhymes)

its my birthday in July

I may have to race a tri

in Hawaii

in July!

ahhhhhhhhh poetry to the ears!

Perfect!

I cut him a little slack, he does the dishes, he cuts the lawn, and cleans the interior of my van occasionally.   He is a keeper, but interestingly my son did notice.  It actually is a non written vow that he doesn't do laundry.  I can say he has only done it on extreme occasions.

durn the freezer is pretty darn baren too! what is a gal to do??

Umm all my suggestions involve ordering in or going out...

Well why didnt I think of that!?? pizza sounds pretty good! will make a salad!

YOU ARE A GENIUS! thanks Cat!

Well the saald cancels out the pizza

IT DOES????? So... I can eat an entire pizza, as long as I have lots of salad? Cool!

Well you eat ALL the salad first...then see how much pizza you can manage...

Salad is rabbit food, I will always have plenty room for Pizza after.  I need a new pizza joint.

Or yuo need more salad!

with some meat in it!  I have a big appetite.

Well that goes without saying... meat goes with EVERYTHING!
