This week was a good week for training - the weather once again stayed nice and cool!
Monday: Cross Training
Tuesday: 2 mile run
Wednesday: Cross Training
Thursday: 6 mile run
Friday: 2 mile run with my hubby, Cross Training
Saturday: 8 mile run with gel once! :)
Sunday: my day of rest!
Today I had my 8 miler again and last week I was completely dead from it! I guess when I look back I had reason to be with no food in my system and not taking a water break! So today I carried only one gel pack and about 5 miles in I took it right before stopping at the Fitness Center to rehydrate. First off all- it all comes back: those gel packs are gross to me. I have had them before biking in college. YUCK! But after I got it down and hydrated.....it really helped! About 10 minutes later I felt like I had this HUGE burst of energy! So my last 2 miles were at Jenny/Lindsey speed! Yes for those of you who watch Little Einsteins that is "Super Fast"!
I decreased my time by 10 minutes from last week! YAY!! I have come to realize I will not break a 2 hour half marathon, but if I can keep up a 10 minute mile and finish in 2:10 I will be satisfied. But wait if I take enough gel I might be SUPER SUPER FAST!
Also David took Jackson out on the bike trailer with our neighbor Johnny riding his bike too while I ran and that was fun to periodically see them and they were checking on me!
Have a great weekend! David and I are going to see that movie FireProof! It's a date! Thanks Traci and Andy for keeping Jackson for us! And thanks again Sarah for watching him on Thursday for me to run! You guys ROCK!

Glad your training is going well. Not sure who Jenny/Lindsey speed is, but I don't think you have any reason to discredit your speed. I think you will break 2! See you Tuesday at MOPS!
8 miles!! You're crazy woman!! I ran two miles today and was surprised that I actually made it through that. I can't imagaine ever running a 1/2 marathon! That's really cool! Good luck! And p.s...I had never used a sewing machine before this class either, so this is all totally new to me! :)
