Gettin’ ready

Well, just a little less than a week to go. We leave for Chicago later this week. It still hasn’t sank in yet that I’m running a marathon. Weird. Anyway, I haven’t posted anything in a while so I wanted everyone to know that I’m still here.

20 miles! I’m done!

Well, I didn’t get a chance to post last week, but I did 18 miles. It’s basically the same route as this week but instead of turning left at mile 16, I turned right and ran 2 miles home. This week was a milestone in my training. That being that...

16 miles

That’s right. Six-freakin’-teen miles. Did intervals of 10 minute run and 1 minute walks. Wore me out. So much so, that I will end post here.

Running again

Well, I had to take a little time off from running. After my 14 mile run, I think I hurt myself a little. I didn’t think much of it at the time and went ahead and ran my 10 miles the following weekend. I couldn’t move for the rest of...

Nick showed me a new site called MapMyRun.com that lets you map out your runs, track your training, and other various features. I just got a newsletter from them and the also have MapMyTri.com, which is a lot more suited for me. The great thing about both these sites is...

Run for Their Lives 5K

I ran the Bank of the Ozarks – Run for Their Lives 5K Saturday. It was a pretty fun race. I’m still not a fan of running. I only do it because it is my weakest event in triathlons. And the only way that I will continue to run is...

Little Rock Marathon

Well, I did it! I finished my first Half Marathon Relay! It was a beautiful day, but it was freezing. By the end of the run, I was stripped down to a short sleeved shirt, but after the finish, I was freezing again. It probably took me a mile to...

Little Rock Marathon

Well, the day is almost upon us. Matt and I are doing the Little Rock Marathon: Half Marathon Relay on Sunday. Both of us have to run about 6.5 miles. Shouldn’t be too bad. We both can run that and have done so before. The only thing that scares me...
