Knee pain...

So my knee is still hurting me! It is my left knee, my right one feels much better. I got new shoes, but plan on waiting until my knee feels a bit better before I run on it again. So very frustrating...I really want to be ready for this half marathon in March!

Week 3...

I woke up Friday morning and my knees were killing me, so I ordered new shoes and can't wait until they arrive (hopefully today or tomorrow). I will get back on the running band wagon, but until then I am letting my knees rest. They still hurt today, but I don't want to take off too much time.

Woohoo...I had no interest in waking up this morning extra early to go running but I went tonight, 3 miles and it wasn't so bad after all!

Week 2...

Monday - took the day off

Tuesday - woke up early and ran 2.25 miles

Day 5

Rest Day

Day 6

Ran 2.15 miles

Day 7 (tomorrow)

I get the day off!

Day 4...

Today was a cross training day so I walked 1/2 mile on the treadmill, did the entire circuit of machines that worked my upper and lower body and then used the elliptical for 1/2 mile. So far things have been good, I actually want to work out and get into shape. I know the holidays are right around the corner so I will try to keep up the workouts and not over indulge...or maybe I will just have to work out harder and indulge on a few occasions :-)

Days 2 & 3...

Day 2

The training schedule I'm following has this as a rest/xt (cross training) day, so I took Clyde for a brisk walk, he loved it. Poor thing hasn't been on a walk in awhile, so I'm sure he will be happy that I'm training and will be walking more.

Day 3

Woke up at 5:20, ran/jogged 2 miles

Day 1...

So, over the weekend my best friend, Sheri, convinced me to run in the Disney Princess Half Marathon on March 8, 2009. This blog will follow my training for the next 14 weeks. My goal is to complete the half marathon (13.1 miles) in under the 3.5 hour time frame that is allotted, and hopefully lose some of this baby weight at the same time.

JB and I did not belong to a gym, so yesterday we went to sign up at one that is close to our house. All my workout clothes are too tight, but I will not spend money on more since hopefully in a few weeks they will fit just fine. This is the motivation I needed to get my butt in gear, I'm looking forward to going to Florida for a weekend with just 3 other girls and getting back into shape.

Day 1

Woke up at 5:30 and ran 2.15 miles in 26 minutes, not too bad seeing that I haven't run at all in the past 3 years!
