Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

Plan was to do 5 miles at PMP (planned marathon pace), hard to do when you don't know really what your PMP is. I tried for 7 to 7:08. Was going to do them outside and then the wind picked up and the clouds came in and it began to rain. So I had to TM it. Still have quite the headache. Husband is painting our basement and now my head hurts more and my joints are in pain. The new shoes have caused a change in muscle use that I am certain I will adapt to soon. Nothing like the zeroes however. Ran 3 mile warm up at 8:49, 8:27, 8:00 (2.5 to 3 % incline) pace then ran 7:08, 7:08, 7:05, 7:03 (0.5% incline) and a 6:50 (0 percent). Done. Two mile cool down at 8:06 and 7:53. 7:08 feels more like my pace, felt real easy but I am feeling quite lousy so maybe I am better than that but not sure about a whole 26.2 miles yet. Time will tell. Not sure what my goal is for Ogden--- 3:05 to 3:08? Dare to dream. : D BTW pushups 10 12 7 7 9 = 39. A long way from only 2 two weeks ago!!! Sit ups I still need to look at the right way to do them. Allie? Pull ups, probably on 1/2 of one. Haven't tried yet. Am I missing something?

Dare to dream Julie! I don't think you are far from tapping into a sub-3. Anyways I am getting interested in this challenge--so are the pullups underhanded or overhanded? And do you just do multiple sets or what? Can the situps be crunches instead?

i do the pull-ups underhanded, but i am not sure which way is "correct" for the challenge.

sit-ups: SLOW crunches with a 1-2 second hold at the top works the deep core muscles (this is nan's idea). it takes forever just to do 50, but it is really effective. focus on bringing yourself up with only your core muscles. don't rely on the neck and shoulders, and make sure you aren't using your arms to pull up your head.
