Just fyi. I did the 1/2 and basically quit. i've run 2 times and biked 1 since the race. Not what I was hoping for. I'm paying for it today. As stress enters my life, as it often does, I'm finding it hard to handle. I feel like taking a long jog right now. If I want to have another good year at Glenwood, I must start my exercise regimen. And I think I will have to go back to morning workouts even during the school year since I will be home schooling. YIKES!!!

Most importantly, I need to get organized. Lay out your outfit the night before, move your desk and get ready to slip slid away the pounds and stress!!!!

Ran the 1/2 in 2:32. Not awfull. I felt good up until mile 13. Just so you know Juli, you are not a superstar. Don't try to pick up the pace until the LAST mile. I started at mile 12 and it really ruined mile 13. I guestimate it added at least 3 minutes to my total time. Oh well. Live and learn.

Now what is the next challenge? It was Harvest Days, it still is. I still haven't broken 10/mile pace for a 5k. That is goal number one. but wouldn't it be great if I did 9/miles? I think that is a lofty goal though, so maybe I will shoot for 9.5.

Get on your bike with the girls today. And go for a walk with a houseparent or alison tomorrow. Do one of those Friday, walking at the zoo saturday, rest Sunday. Monday you are back in the game!

Plan your workout with runners world to run a faster 5K.
