| I'm a cross training master!!! :) Haha, I wish. But yesterday I went out and bought a suit and goggles and I went swimming today! I was really nervous because I had no idea what I was doing. It was only my third trip to the gym, 1st to the pool, so I didn't know where to go, and what to do when I got there. So I just kind of watched the other girls to figure it out. I ended up swimming about 20 laps, resting for 20-30 seconds between some of them, especially towards the end. I lost track though, so I was wondering how else people keep track of their swimming... do you just swim laps for a certain amount of time? I would like to know some way in which I could see improvement week to week that doesn't involve counting. I don't have form of any sort yet, but my brother told me for the first few trips to just concentrate on my breathing and that will be more than enough to work on, then when I feel comfortable with that I can work on my stroke. I saw people watching me and wanted to yell out "Don't mind me, I'm just a runner!" Haha.
All in all I had a lot of fun! I could have gone longer but today was really just a trial day. I think I could use swimming as a low-impact workout the day after a long run, and maybe one other day a week. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Time to watch my Baltimore Ravens!

Today is my day off so I have no run to post, but I'm looking for a little advice. These are my Saturday runs planned until my marathon:
this saturday (10/25): 18
11/1: I found a 15k in Mississippi I really want to do (Lake Caroline 15k)
11/8: 20
11/15: 14ish
11/22: 7ish
11/29: race
To
look at it like that is kinda scary. But anyway, do you think the 15k
would be too much? I really want to do it. I realize I may struggle a
bit to go fast because of my 18 but I want to try anyway. I really want to aim to get as close to 7 minute pace as possible, although that will be really hard. Or do you
think I should take it a little easier that week? I could run that race at an easy pace just to get a 9 miler in, but where is the fun in that :)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

6 really easy miles at San Luis I baked these last night... the best muffins I have ever made!!! People couldn't believe there was no butter or oil in them!
Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.
12 muffins
350 degree oven, 25 minutes
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup white sugar (or half it with splenda)
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup applesauce (I used a lunch box sized prepackaged cup)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup all purpose flour (or half and half with whole wheat)
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips (I used mini dark chocolate chips... awesome!! I'm sure you could use carob as well)
Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add sugar and mix until well
blended. Add in egg and applesauce, and beat together. Without
stirring, add the dry ingredients to the bowl. Once they are all added
together, stir the dry ingredients a bit, then incorporate into the wet
ingredients; you could just use a separate bowl, but why do more
dishes? Stir in the chocolate chips.
Spoon into medium sized muffin tins, well greased or lined with liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degree oven.

| woooo!!! 18 down! 1 long run to go! a friend of mine met me at mile 3 and ran 9 miles with me, so that was nice to have a little company. was able to push the last 2, probably around 7:30 pace for those. power gel = my heat and soul and i came back and still weighed over 100, which means i did a great job drinking and eating along the way! (during my last marathon i always came back under after my long runs, and that scared me).
heading out to the tailgate and game. go noles!!!
