oooooooooo THAT was GOOD!
Just got home from my run... and yes.. I am officially calling it a RUN.. if I RUN more than I WALK then thats a RUN in my book :)
5 MILES again today! 11.5 Minute per mile.... 58 minutes total ! and tons of FUN!
I am happy with this time cause it includes my walking warm up, two short walks with stretch time in there, and a cooling walk home :) yippe!
I have posted my "run thoughts" before.. but its been a while.. so.. Here are my Interesting Run thoughts from today :) (yes these are the thoughts that ran through my mind as i was running :)
thats enough for now.. that was just the first time around.. the second time around went great..I ended up seeing the workout ladies again.. and this time instead of doing leg lifts they were doing army crawls.. :) .. I clapped and yelled "way to go! .. you are INSPIRING ME!" and they .. strained to look and try and figure out who i was.. the lady with the funny dog :) .. and they did inspire me to keep running to the corner another 1/4 mile and finished strong!
So this is what I am thinking..
so.. Girls.. do you anyone who has done this before? if so.. please advise :)
Tomorrow is Legs! YIPPEE!
UPDATE
well.. I have spent the last few minutes of ultra quiet in my house ( the kids are asleep :) ..to research if there are any races close to my birthday.. and so far no luck.. I guess running it on my actual month of birthday is out of the question.. this is the closest one i have found.. Marathon to Marathon it seems small from the pictures.. and might be just the one for me.. but i will keep looking :) .. in the mean time.. there are three 5ks in town and just might do 2 of them! .. one is for Autism Speaks-fun raiser, another sponsored by a club at our university where i always run (its a charity race too) and the other is just a Mayors fun run but it is chipped timed!..will see:)
I also read about running a marathon.. and though its seems impossible.. i just wonder if i could actually do it...

- Oh its so nice and warm! windy but that's ok.. atlease its warm!
- ok....silly ipod.. get on my arm straight..
- OH cool.. It has a stopwatch... cant believe I have had it this long and never realized it has a stopwatch! .. cool.. ok.. ... hum.. oh.. neat I it DOES work.. opps.. better hurry.. times a wasting :)
- oh.. its so nice and warm.. ..
- ooo.. so much traffic..
- should i go around to the right or to the left? .. oh.. right. :)
- huh.. what is that on the sidewalk..
- sidewalk chalk.. words.. on cool.. "Up .. it .. keep" .. .. oh.. no wait.. its backwards.. OOPS.. almost ran into that guy.. teaches me to run backwards, trying to read at the same time" .. oh.. now i get it.. it said "Keep it UP" .. cool.
- hum.. wonder if I COULD do a marathon
- people would think i was crazy to try
- I am just a mom.. i have no business doing a marathon
- wonder if hurting my shoulder is Gods way of saying I should do a marathon
- HUM..
- oh.. look at that cute puppy! (NO SU.. )
- wow.. almost half done!
- oh look at those ladies working out together on that field.. I will hollor at them "way to go! keep it up!!! " .... yeah. you dont know me.. I am just a crazy girl..
thats enough for now.. that was just the first time around.. the second time around went great..I ended up seeing the workout ladies again.. and this time instead of doing leg lifts they were doing army crawls.. :) ..

So this is what I am thinking..
- i have decided to try a marathon... wouldnt that just be NUTs! who am I to run a Marathon?
- I need to decide if i want to do one using the 16week plan .. and if i do.. do when do i want to run it.. this summer BEFORE i am 40 or hold off on the 16 week plan until it will actually end in Sept. and then run a race on the MONTH of my birthday......
so.. Girls.. do you anyone who has done this before? if so.. please advise :)
