My goal is to run the Twin Cities Marathon in 2005! There, I've said it. If I lose five to ten pounds in training, so much the better.

I will start training in earnest in March.

3/21 - 3 miles
3/24 - 4.5 miles -LSD
3/25- 1.5 miles (recovery run)
3/28 - 5 miles
3/29- 3 miles
4/1- 4.5 miles LSD

You have to explain the LSD part to me.

Sorry, long slow distance run.

I have to say that my ticker is a real kick in the pants that I need.

Awesome. I'd love to hear how training goes...how you gradually add distance! How your body reacts....


Go for it.

--4/8 7.5 mile run (ran part of the marathon course)
--4/10--1 mile
--4/12--7 mile run (in the rain)

-4/14- 4 mile- this one made my joints ache. I can't believe I forgot how much I hurt all over when training.
-4/16- 8 mile- Ran at a fantastic pace in cool weather.
4/18- 3 mile- in sweltering heat
4/23- 9.5 mile - Had an epiphany during this run. I realized that I'm so scared of life and yet the best things in life require a "leap of faith". Note to self: embrace life as the adventure that it is and quite worrying so much.

Thanks you guys...I can't believe that you have subjected yourself to reading something this mundane.

I did indeed complete the *hilly* ten miler and ran the entire way except for two potty breaks. (Have I mentioned that two kids have wrecked my bladder? ) The good news is it wasn't that hard. The bad news is that I was really slow. (1 hour 53 minutes ....that is about 13 minutes longer than my pre-baby time).

This weekend: a half marathon. Yes, I'm getting in the races while I have childcare before DH returns to clinicals.

5/29--10 miles
5/30--2 miles

--6/4- 13.1 (Half Marathon with a P.R. of 2:17! I felt strong-like I could keep going
