andee's running

Well, it's the first day of March and therefore my Utah Valley Half Marathon training schedule begins - not quite sure how I feel about it.

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill today:

#1 = 10:56

#2 = 10:00

#3 = 9:55

#4 = 10:52

Felt good the entire time, but did push myself a bit harder than normal.

Ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill and then walked .5 to cool down.

mile #1 = 10:56

mile #2 = 10:00

mile #3 = 10:16

Was surprised at how good I felt today.  Had to jump off  few times to help the kiddos, but all in all it was good.

Really had to dig deep and find some motivation, or maybe it was just knowing how guilty I would feel later on today - isn't guilt a wonderful thing?

warm up mile #1 = 10:56

mile #2 = 10:09

mile #3 = 10:00

cool down mile #4 = 10:14 (not much of a cool down/easy mile, but my kids were NOT cooperating and I had to go take care of things, which meant running faster than I wanted to at that point)

Planning on 6 miles Saturday. 

Met the ladies at 6:30 and ran the first 4.25 with them.  Tried to talk any of them into adding on with me, but no takers. :(   Added on to make it a total of 6 miles!  End of my first week of official training for the half in June and it feels great.
