Running, running, running...

So I am planning my next couple half marathons. I figured I have to do the mini that is here on April 25th, even though there are a few miles that go through Iroquios park (very hilly) I think it will be a fun run, especially going through Churchill Downs. The other run is in Chicago, on my birthday, JB has decided to run with me so I'm super excited about that!

April 25th, 2009

August 2, 2009 (my birthday)...JB said he will run this half marathon with me, I'm so excited. It sounds like a really good time, they have bands playing at every mile marker, I can't wait!

Finish Line

I did it!!!

13.1 miles! My first half marathon. I went into this thinking I will just run the Princess Half Marathon and enjoy the experience, but didn't think running would get into my blood. While I am not a die hard runner and probably never will be, the experience of a half marathon was amazing and has made me think about which one I will do next. Maybe the Country Music Half marathon in Nashville? It sounds like fun to me!

Last long run day until the race...

9 miles!!! I ran the first 8 and then felt a bit achy in my knee so I walked the last mile. I wasn't about to start having knee problems again before the race. I really hope it doesn't hurt tomorrow when I wake up.

Straight to Eight...

Yep...8 miles today!!! It took an hour and 44 minutes, and I feel great.

15 days left until I get my tiara!!!

Yesterday was supposed to be my 7 mile day and I went to the gym with all the intentions to run 7 miles on the treadmill (it was dark outside) and I got there about 7pm and got about 5 miles into my run and felt great, but then realized I was the last person there and the gym closes at 8...so only 5 miles for me yesterday. Tomorrow is my "early day" from work (I get off 1/2 day every other Tuesday) so I guess I will have to spend some time at the gym to make up for this.

The count down is officially on...only 20 days before the race!

6 miles...

I'm on track...I ran 6 miles outside yesterday. The weather was beautiful!!
