   I was impressed with myself for my first half marathon. Before this, the longest I had run was 6 miles. Of course I did 1:1 intervals up until mile 9 then my legs/knees just wouldn't let me run. I ended up walking most of the last 4 miles with the o... read more

     Nice work! My legs gave out too, but I just had to finish. Now it's time to rest for a week ;)

     Exactly! I'm nervous about how I will feel after being immobile over night...hopefully my knees won't freeze up!

   I'm not sure why I bother running. My walking is much faster. I keep being told that it will improve...I'm beginning to wonder if that is really true for me. I meet with my pulmonologist next month. That will be a question for him. But honestly, I... read more

   After almost 3 weeks off due to sinus infection/bronchitis, I decided to ease back into activity with an easy walk. It felt really good to get my heart rate up and sweat a little. It's amazing how that works. You have to drag yourself off the couch to get motivated when you first start getting into fitness. It's really hard sometimes. Then once you get into it, your body misses it and it's like your day just isn't complete without some sort of exercise. I've felt like such a lump over these weeks. I just hope I can get back into it enough to ride 50 miles in 4 weeks and run my 1/2 marathon in 5 weeks!!

     That sucks that you were sideline with sickness for 3 weeks. That's a really fast walking pace, so you should have no problem finishing the half marathon before the cut-off.

     I guess in my profession, I've learned to walk fast over the years :) Thanks!!

   This was a horrible run. I made the mistake at eating not-so-healthy food for lunch. I am learning that I cannot eat that way any more. It just kills me! Halfway through the run I got a pretty severe stitch in my left side. I had to walk through 2 complete intervals slowing me down a lot. Now I know for future runs. No more junk for me!!

If I would have ran all of them, I probably would have done a little better. I need to run first thing in the day rather than the last. But sometimes that's just too early!!

   I finally got to get out and actually do some exercise! Unfortunately after about 10 min my Garmin died so I didn't get to finish the whole thing doing my intervals. So I simply walked briskly keeping my heart rate up to at least get that benefit. It felt good getting back out after such a long hiatus!

   We were still a little slow today. I had times where I was averaging 12-14 mph but I slowed on several occasions to get my heart rate down. The goal was to keep between zone 3 & 4. I spent about 1:30 in that range. I am definitely noticing the difference between the MTB and the road bike. I never realized the gears would be so different!! I was in the highest gear and could only get about 14 mph. I can't wait to get back into my road bike :)

     Lisa P nice job considering you were on MTB instead of road bike. One of these days I will have to come to Cady Way and ride with you.

     Thanks! We ride most Sunday mornings. I'm a little slower than the other people we have trained with, so I feel more comfortable kinda doing things on my own. I don't like holding people back. There are 4 of us. We usually go from Oviedo to Baldwin, stop for a smoothie, then ride back. It's very laid back. Joe and I usually ride ahead then we meet up with the others at stop lights, etc. Feel free to join anytime!
