the schedule this week - 3,3,3,7.

thursday we are going sea kayaking and then riding the train up the coast. 2 things i've never done - should be fun! i'll share pictures when we get back. and, i'm looking forward to catching up w/all of you.

ran 3 tonight w/some hills. it was one of those amazing runs, that don't seem to happen often enough. i felt great and pushed myself more than i usually do.

pace: 8:55 (a tough 3 mile pace for me!)

Week 1

today was the starting day of my training for the chicago marathon. i can't believe it is here! before i know it, i will be lined up w/44,999 other runners ready to tackle the 26.2 miles.i ran 3 today. i'm supposed to run 3,3,3, and 6 this week. we'll see if i can get some miles in while on vacation. it would be nice to run by the ocean. i may have to run on the treadmill at the hotel. we'll see how it goes. more importantly, i'm so excited to see my sister and my nephew!

pace: 9:02

slow week

i haven't been running much. everything is so busy. we leave for cali. next week and i've been busy going to the homeschool conference for 2 days. we have been enjoying some time alone. 2 date nights. last night we walked 10 miles (does that count?). 5 miles to the restaurant and 5 miles home. i loved it.
next week (or, the week after - we'll see how it works w/vacation) i'm planning on starting my training for the chicago marathon! i can't believe it's already here. so excited to run it with my sister and my friend amanda!

will catch up with all of you soon...
