Week 5; Day 5

Behind. Sorry. Running and sugar-free has been a struggle for the past couple of weeks. We have maintained about 2-3 runs each week but we haven't been meeting our goal of increasing a mile every 1-2 weeks. Boo. We're supposed to be at 6 miles tomorrow. I don't think that will happen. We haven't been able to run together at night for the past few days and I'm not sure if I want to do the long run by myself. We'll see.

My little brother Quin is marrying the fantastic Barbara Hansen in two weeks. I was hoping to be at 8 miles by the wedding, but I think 6 miles will be more accurate. I WILL BE AT 6 MILES BY THEN. I must. So check back to see my progress. :)

Week 4; Day 6

Todd and I ran 5 miles on Saturday! We found a new route and it was glorious!

Week 4; Day 3

What an interesting past few runs I've had.

My wonderful husband decided that he wanted to join me in my quest. So, he joined me on my 4 mile run Saturday, 3 mile run Monday, and my 4 mile run yesterday. I am pretty impressed with him. It is nice to spend that time in the evenings together.

Sugar Free Week 5

I've done great this week minus the 4th of July binge. I couldn't help it! There was such fried gloriousness at the San Diego County Fair.

Don't worry. I ran 2 miles that morning. :)

Week 4; Day 5

I ran three times so far this week. Not too shabby, but still shy of my target. I'll be sure to make it four runs tomorrow.

I ran 2.6 miles this morning. I got up at 5:30 since it was unbearably hot and the babe was still sleeping. I ran 1.75 of those miles up hill. Thus, I was okay with ending my run .4 short of 3 miles.

I'm Back

Making and keeping habits/goals is hard.

Sorry for the wait. I have been avoiding blogging since I don't have much to report on.

Last week was a big struggle with running. Not much to report.

But, this week I got back on the wagon (slowly), and am ready to jump back in! I am adding an extra two weeks to my training. I have the time since the 1/2 marathon isn't until November. So, I don't need to be at 5 miles until next Saturday. I know that to many of you 5 miles isn't a big deal.

To me, 5 miles is a HUGE deal. I'll keep you updated on the progress.
