Game On?

I know it's winter.

I know it kind of sucks getting into the running groove.

I know the dreadmill treadmill sucks.

But...

I know how exhilarating it feels to cross the finish line after you've spent time training.

I know that Runners High is a real thing.

I know that the mountains rock.

I know that I love traveling with my "sisters".

And I also know that shortly after crossing the finish line at the Bolder Boulder, they hand you a beer.



So what do you say, ladies? Are you are in or are you in? Yes or yes?

Should we put our money where our mouth is...and officially register for the Bolder Boulder??

Hi all!!!

Hey all. Here's my update about the plan I have to kill myself to get in shape. :)

So I'm kind of proud of myself because I have kept running during school - now we just have to see if I can make it through the first round of midterms!

It's been interesting running, and every time I go up a level I feel like I'm about to die during the last 10 or so minutes. (I'm on week four - run 2 min, walk 3) Then I do it all again two days later. Sometimes I think about running 6 miles and it seems crazy. Then I think about Allison running 20 miles and I don't feel so bad. ;)

My best run was a few weeks ago. It was in the field house and I was on my game. I stayed strong throughout my entire workout and felt great when it was over. The weather wasn't even horrible, so waiting for the bus to get me home wasn't bad.

I can't wait until Mother Nature decides to lighten up and I can run outside again. The track just doesn't work as well for me.

That's all for now. Good luck to all you ladies!!!!
