Slashing through seven miles
I guess I’m officially, if it wasn’t official before, in taper mode. We did 7 miles during our run tonight. And a WET seven it was. Had pretty heavy down pours for around the middle three miles, but the temperature was just about right. I wasn’t cold when it was raining, and it wasn’t miserably…

Doing More Running
Ok, why can’t I remember to post more? Who knows. Since I last posted I’ve completed a “12” mile run and a “9” mile run. The courses were a bit short and we ended up with 11.33 and 8.60, but, oh well. I’m glad I was able to finish them and without excruciating pain! I’ve…

Second Week of YMCA Training Done
I’ve finished up the second week of the YMCA Mini Marathon training program. All I have to say is UGH! Monday’s run was a quick two miles. Not bad. Wednesday was use being timed and put in to pace groups. I was, somehow, one of the first dozen or so to finish. Since I’ve run…

Joined YMCA Training Program
I’ve finished up the first week of the YMCA’s Mini-Marathon training program that I randomly decided to sign up for. Part of the decision was based on having a $50 coupon to the YMCA, part based on wanting to be more social (in running and life..), and part on having a structured plan. With the…
