3 Mile Run

Well, last night kicked off my 10K training. I only have 4 weeks so I jumped into the middle of the training program which is fine since I have done way longer distances before. I just don't want to be completely unprepared for this race like I have been the last two races I have done. The exercise last night was nice. There were times when I thought I was going to have a shin splint attack but I was able to walk it out before jogging again. I basically just jogged when I felt like it and walked as I felt like it. I'm going to really listen to my body and watch my Heart Rate of course. I ♥my garmin.

This is a combo of walking/jogging. Obviously. I'm a slow poke!
My race schedule so far is:

October 20, 2013 - Springfield Marathon Weekend 10K 
November 16, 2013 - Jingle Bell Run 5K for Arthritis 
April 5, 2014 - Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon 

Here is the link to donate to my fundraiser for the Jingle Bell Run. I do have arthritis so I really support this race and organization. Please donate!!!


I will start my Half Marathon training on January 12, 2014. I will be doing this training plan. I have the app for this training program on my phone. I purchased it a long time ago and never did it. This time I am going to. I really want to do a sub 3:00:00 half marathon and I want 2014 to be the year I do it.

Random Pet Picture of the Day:

He has to be different. He cannot sleep in the bed the way you would think he should. He is a rebel and he'll do what he wants.....

At least he got the pillow right.....
