Anybody Home?

Hey girlies...how's the training going?? It's been pretty quiet around here so I thought I'd check in.

What training plans are you doing?

How is running going?

Tell me about your best run so far!!


I'll start. I know it's different because I'm training for a marathon along with the BB, but I'll still play along.

I'm going to join a marathon group in February so I'm not exactly sure what plan I'm going to be using...but I need to be able to run 6 miles by February 16. I'm going to try and bust out 4 on the treadmill tonight. I'm planning on doing my first 20-miler a few weeks before the Bolder Boulder. Right now 20 miles sounds absurd. I get tired driving 20 miles.

Running is going okay so far. I thought Spring was right around the corner and then we got slapped with a cold snap. The cold makes me want to curl up on my couch with a cozy blanket and eat Tater Tot Hot Dish while sipping cocoa and watching Oprah. Not exactly on the training plan. I've started monitoring my heart rate while on the dreadmill so that gives me something to think about as I grind out the miles and it almost motivates me to get to the gym. I'll perk up when it gets warmer.

My best run this year was on January 6 - it was a beautiful afternoon and I ran outside. I thought I was going to die because I felt so out of shape, but it felt glorious to be running outside on Real Live Ground.

Now it's your turn!
