Holy Cow! We Have Reached Week 9!!!!!!

Yes, I know, I have not been keeping up very well... I will try to do a better job!

Monday 6/14... Week 9/Day 57... Run 25 minutes

Rest... We ran yesterday... we are changing up our routine this week because we are headed to Tampa at the end of the week and it will be hard to try to run on Saturday and we have a 5k on Sunday 6/20!

Sunday 6/13... Week 8/Day 56 ... Rest

Ran 25 minutes... ran the last three with Todd...

he always gets mad because I have the watch and I run the other direction in circles around the DQ or out on the sidewalk that runs along the main road... then he challenged me at the end... I beat him...

or at least he let me:)

Saturday 6/12... Week 8/Day 55... Run 25 minutes

UGH!!!!! It was HOT!!!!!

Todd Jr ran with us today and bailed halfway through... under the guise of needing a restroom break... interesting that he decided not to rejoin us!

Honestly... I never knew I could sweat this much!!!

We made new running purchases today.

Todd got these...

And I got these...  

They are Nike Avant and they are very comfortable... the only problem is they did not have the right sizes in the store so we had to order them... just hope they will arrive before Saturday.  We got them from Finishline... so far this store has been very helpful and most knowledgeable... Foot Locker... SUCKS!!!!

Todd and I are both having a "small" foot issue. 

My right heel is beginning to split and Todd is having the same issue.

Gotta start being diligent about applying lotion and keeping socks and shoes on... not so many sandals/flip flops!!!!

Friday  6/11... Week 8/Day 54... Rest

Absolutely!!!!

Okay, well, I did not run.

However, Todd Jr., Grady and I did Pilates... Todd Jr is a mad man... he can out do anyone!

Thursday 6/10... Week 8/Day 53 Run 25 Minutes

Ran over the Hathaway Bridge and back... but added some distance on the middle...

Probably close to three miles...

Todd did 26:39

I did 35:33

I struggled up the first half.

However, Todd did let me "borrow" his ipod.

Thank you sweetie... I ran to the 80's Movie Hits... if only I had done this back then...

Wednesday 6/9... Week 8/Day 52... Run 25 minutes

Friday 6/4 ... Week 7/Day 47... Rest

Thursday 6/3... Week 7/Day 46... Run 20 minutes

Ran the Hathaway Bridge.

Todd ran in 22 minutes!

I ran 26:39... took 3.5 minutes off my last time over the bridge!!!!! 

I was booking it down the last down hill.....

felt light headed, but so glad I had done it!!!!

Happy!

Wednesday 6/2... Week 7/Day 43... Run 20 minutes

So glad I took yesterday off... my shins did not really bother me at all!

Ran a solid 20 minutes and really worked on my stride... desperately trying to lengthen it... even had a good little sprint at the end...

I asked Todd, while we were walking after the run, if doing this made him happy. 

He laughed and said, "Not while I am doing it!"

And then never really answered my question!

Let me tell you though... I think he is enjoying it... and I am soooooo proud of him and I so very much appreciate him doing this with me... even though he forbid me from stealing his ipod:)

RUNNING!!!!

So, we have reached the point in our training that we are no longer running/walking... it is all running baby!!!!!

Tuesday 6/1... Week 7/Day 42... Rest

Todd is a champ and walked for 35 minutes.

I wore the WRONG shoes for my shift at work on Sunday and my shins are still paying for it, so I bowed out today.... not happy with myself... also, my head still hurts... waiting for a call from the Doctor for a CT scan.

Monday 5/31... Week 7/Day 41... Run 20 minutes

YeeHaw!!!!!  I ran the 20 minutes... which I knew was no problem... I have been able to for about 2 weeks, but the only challenge is running in our neighborhood... gets a little boring... thinking about "stealing" Todd's ipod the next run:-)  I even decided to run through the DQ parking lot... one of the other ladies we see walking/running in the mornings, told us last week that they offered her a free biscuit and gravy as she ran past the drive thru... that is truly disturbing... what are they thinking???? Also, my shins were hurting... but, I DID IT!!!!!!

And of course Todd did it, and beautifully!

Sunday 5/30  Week 6/Day 40... Rest

You can say that again!

Friday 5/28... Week 6/Day 38... Rest

Thursday 5/27... Week 6/Day 37... Run/Walk 35 minutes

Todd and I ran the Hathaway Bridge!  It  felt amazing... RAN the whole way... Todd did it in 22 minutes... it took me 30 minutes and 4 seconds....
