3 mile nights

I am beginning to sound like a broken record...but we did 3 miles again tonight.  Took us 47 mins, doing one minute of jogging and one minute of walking.  Hopefully, I'll sleep better tonight.  I'm ready to go deep.....

5 mile morning

After almost a week off, Jenn and I did 5 miles this morning on the cedar river trail, in about 1 1/2 hours. Slow for us, but it felt just right today.

The Wild Thing 2011

Oh, my goodness, I had so much FUN today!!!  Jenn and I participated in my first loop run, at Lake Padden, just south of Bellingham, WA.  We did 13.1 miles in 3 1/2 hours which is pretty fast for us, considering we stopped after each loop to complete a task before continuing on.  We jogged more today than I ever have in a race.  It was great!  The trail was a nice, rolling track, with lots of pretty views.  I didn't have my camera with me on the trail, so here are the before and after pics. 

 On the road, appreciating the early morning clouds.

 Pee stop!

 Dressed up Divas, pre race

 Our task list, we did 5 laps, so we did the first 5 tasks listed in order to get our 'offical' time.

 Pre race, silly faces...we were ready to go!

 After the race, Diede and Jonathan came to meet us and helped take pictures while we cooled down.

 One of our tasks was to write down why we run.  Jenn's is in blue and mine is in orange, in the lower middle of the page. 

After the race, Jonathan offered to cook for us, and who were we to refuse???  We enjoyed a very relaxing hour or two hanging with them before heading home.

Great race, Jenn!!  It's our first qualifier for Half Fanatics.  We have much to look forward to this summer.

3 miles goes fast...

....when you are walking one minute and jogging one minute.  We did another quick 3 miles tonight and shaves 2 minutes off our time from Tuesday.  Whoot! 

A quicky

Jenn and I are getting close to our next race, so we did a quick 3 miles tonight.  And by quick, I mean 3 miles in 47 minutes; running one minute: walking one minute.  It was good.  It still takes me a while to warm up, but I like how I feel afterwards!!!

Finally, a long one

I've been slacking on getting in the long training sessons this summer.....mostly due to my being out of town so much in June. But that's about to change. And it's overdue. Jenn and I did 9 miles tonight, with a big hill, in 2 hours and 20 mins. The last three miles were hard (mentally) and I once again relied on my friend's strength to get me home. Thank goodness for her!

6 Miles

Whopps, I forgot to log my latest trail effort.  Tuesday July 5th, Jenn and I did 6 miles on the cedar river trail.  It was the day after 4th of July and we both were forcing ourselves to go.  But, as always, I'm glad I did.
