May 25-May 31

Saturday, May 31 - RAN AN ENTIRE 4 MILES!!!! I did not stop once and kept on going. When I felt like I was going to stop, I looked up in the sky and said this is for you (Russ). It gave me the strength and motivation to push even harder! :) Our coach goofed on the mileage, I had thought we were running 5 miles today, but it was supposed to only be 4...we all ran 4! Next week I will run 5 miles which should be fantastic!! :)

Friday, May 30 - Break day before my long run on Saturday. Had a nice pasta dinner for my long run tomorrow :)

Thursday, May 29 - Had an awesome 2 1/2 mile run!! I felt like I could have kept running, which I should have done, but ended up back home sweating and hungry! Looking forward to Saturday's 5 mile run!!! I really believe that I can do it!!! :) YEAH :)

Wednesday, May 28 - Break Day, didn't feel too well and had a meeting until 5:00...running everyother day so I don't get burnt out! I'll make tomorrow a great run!! :)

Tuesday, May 27 - Had an awesome 2 mile run around my neighborhood. I found an awesome little route that I can easily make longer as my runs get longer. The only problem is there are a lot of hills around me, but it will be fine! I'm so excited that I got my very first donation today!!! Thanks a bunch Linda (my mother-in-law)!!! It really made me even more motivated to run today!!! I felt great!!

Monday, May 26 and Sunday, May 25 - Memorial Day weekend! Went up to Maine to celebrate our 1 year wedding annversary...I skipped out on my training for two days...I'll make up for it!! :)

Week of May 18 - May 24, 2008

Saturday, May 24 -Got married on this day last year, except it was on the 26th...Great Memories!!! :) **Ran 3 miles with the team in Grafton. I'm very excited about going through this whole process.

Friday, May 23 - Break Day before run tomorrow morning!

Thursday, May 22 - Tried running at the gym, but going round and round the track is NOT for me...Won't be doing that again. Ran about 2 1/2 miles

Wednesday, May 21 - Break Day!

Tuesday, May 20 - 2 mile run...wow it is much easier running with a group. I found it easier running 3 miles (on Sat.) with a group of people then 2 miles alone. In need of a running buddy!!!

Monday, May 19 - Break Day!

Sunday, May 18 - Went for a 7 mile bike ride with Derek! :)

First Training!!

YEAH, so I ran 3 miles, yes that's right 3 miles! At the one mile marker I was feeling so great that I decided to run 3 miles instead of 2. I felt great during the overall run, had some awesome breathing...no huffing and puffing. Love running with other people, def. very helpful! I'm excited and feel that I can really accomplish this! :)
