Add Luca

Well add Luca to the list of runners, even though she is actually a stroller. :)

Slacking!!

I am going to be the first one to admit that I have been slacking as of late. As I was telling Martha, I just have to work exercising into my schedule on a daily basis and I have not done that. I may not be able to run the whole thing but I am going to run as much as I can and walk the rest. I am trying to stay motivated but I just get so bored running. I think I might be in trouble. I think things will change once the weather gets nice. I think I am suffering from the winter blues a little bit. Good luck everyone!!

For your aches and pains

My bootcamp trainer recommened this foam roller for my side-knee pain. It relieves muscle tension. . . so far it has helped me - it is painful, but as Colette says: "A good hurt?"

Another recruit!!

Kevin Birusingh has decided to run with us!!! woo hoo. I heard Martha is trying to race the clock--so much for my piggy back. Maybe I can convince Kevin to hang back in case I need a lift. Probably not. Maybe he and Martha should race:)

Just Checkin In

How is everybody doing with training? I feel the blog enthusiasm dwindling a bit.

I wish you were all here to run with me :(

picture me signing at the top of my tone-deaf lungs:
"alllllllll byyyy myyyysellllffff"

SMACKING!

Well, my only motivation for the three mile run last night was the girl next to me. I could not wait to get off of the treadmill and tell her that her music was too darn loud and if she smacked her gum another time, I was going to lose my mind. I wonder if she had any idea what she was doing? Oh well. I made it....barely though.

Are we dedicated or what?

If anyone is questoning Colette's or my dedication I just need you to know we did our run in the rain today. Cold Iowa January rain. We rule!
