A running date!!

Tonight (Friday) my husband and I decided to make our date a running date.  We drove out to Lake Hefner and tried to run around it.  It is 9.4 miles around the lake!!!  We ran about the first 4 miles of it and then walked for about 2 then ran for around 2 and walked the last mile.  It seemed like SOOOOOO long of a trail.  I don't know how marathon runners do it.  It was very beautiful, though, and I did get some quality time with my husband.  We are going to try it again this Saturday to see if we can run a bit further.  Wish us luck!!  I think we must be crazy!

  4. Excellent job! Lake Hefner is beautiful!

    Marathoners do it one mile at a time. That is my matra! You can't think about how far you still have. Just concentrate on the mile you are in!

  6. I came across your blog a few weeks ago and it was the push I needed to get back to working out. I just wanted to thank you for writing about your training. I signed up for the Chicago Race for A Cure in September to do the 5K and I have been wanting to do it for a long time. I am on week two and have been tracking it on my blog. I just wanted to say thanks.
