One More Time

Tonight went for 2 miles without a walk break. Walked about a 1/3 rd and ran the rest. YEAH!! My pinky toe hurts i guess the callus softened. Time to harden that bad boy up!!!

Sickness + Not being able to breath = Unmotivation

So i decided not to blog about running for a few days, because i was doing the same ole thing 3+ miles....and that's boring to write about.. THEN I got sick this last week and it has followed me into this week. So needless to say I haven't been running much. Oh yeah and my Brother-In-Law got married, I was in the wedding...So no running that weekend. Tonight was my first night back and it wasn't pretty. I took it easy still being a little stopped up. I ran the first mile all the way but took walking breaks for the last 2 ...id say about half and half... so that's it...And Now I Begin Again. I feel like i have digressed... BOOO

Breaking the Mile / Breaking 3

The first mile is always the hardest for me. It feels like my joints take forever to warm up, but after the first mile or so they get to going and i don't feel so bad. Does anyone else feel that way? This morning I woke up and ran 3+ miles. The past few times i have ran, I have ran for 3 miles strait and stopped. Which is good don't get me wrong, but i need to push it further. I think I need to shoot for 4 or maybe 5 miles to get past the 3 mile mark. I think i have a mental block in my head saying you are going for 3 and then you can stop!!

I Need To Run More

I have decided that i want to get in shape to run the half marathon at next years Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon (oh and i want to lose some weight too). That is a little over 13 miles and right now I am doing around 3 miles most evenings, just 10 more miles and I'm there!! This Blog is to help me on my journey to that 13 mile goal. If anyone else ever reads this encouragement is welcome! Tonight I didn't run :( but worked in the back yard till almost dark.
