Hey all! I ran 2 miles today as planned. I ran really slowly because I’m still a little nervous to reinjure my knee, but it was a good run. I had to mow before the run (while it was still “cool”) so I was a bit zapped from the start. I walked twice during the [...]
Set back… but it was amazing!
Hey all! It has been a while since I ran and even longer since I have written. All was advancing well. I took my week off and then learned the Sunday before leaving the country that I would be gone an additional 2 weeks (and this is not a place that I could run or [...]
2nd Run, a little more fun.
Today I had to get my run in right after lunch. I was a little off on my eating so it was actually about 30 minutes after my mid meal. I stopped at a park that is currently under construction in Rogers. They have put in the walking trail and covered it in soft gray [...]
Running doesn’t welcome you back! It disciplines you for leaving!
In the future, I will post my time, distance, pace and all of that jazz, but not for this run. Yesterday, I “ran” for 31 minutes. I was going to try and run for 8 minutes and then rest for 2 and do that for 3 cycles for 30 minutes. I wasn’t worried about the [...]
Week 5, Day 1
5:30 A.M. Time: 28:53 Minutes Distance: 2.36 Miles Pace: 12:14 MPH: 4.9 Route: House to HWY This run was on May 7th. It was a good run & we had a great pace. The first part of the run stinks for me. It is such a struggle. I think by the end of these runs, [...]

My First 5K
Our first 5k was April 21st. I’ve been super busy with work, so I’m just now posting about this. This was a very very interesting experience. We had 2 goals. #1 Run the Entire Way. #2. Run it in 40 minutes. FOR US, these are big goals. We just became “runners” & this was our [...]

7:45 P.M. Time: 28:15 Minutes Distance: 2.3 Miles Pace: 12:15 MPH: 4.89 Route: House Out & Back There is again a horrible climb right from the start, but on this run we decided to go easy in the front and finish strong. That is exactly what we did. I liked it much better because my [...]
