Jordan and I are both officially in for the Wine & Dine Challenge! Time to get serious again. Woo hoo!!

Dusting this neglected training journal off a bit... After the Star Wars half last year, I ran pretty regularly for about the rest of April and then slacked off...big time. I blame the Texas heat. Tried a bit to pick it (running) back up in the fall, but not super consistently and I was so...

Off to a good start! Trashed: 5 pairs of shoes 3 old sheets 38 random unmatched Tupperware pieces 12 kid plastic restaurant cups In the donate pile: 4 pairs of shoes 19 misc. kitchen doo dads 3 kids placemats 3 kids divided plates 4 framed prints 3 Halloween costumes 5 books 3 small storage...

Stumbled across this thread while procrastinating last night. :) I just happened to start purging my kitchen of unused stuff 2 days ago, so the timing is perfect! I'm in for an ambitious 2020 items as well. Most of our stuff isn't that bad, but between my craft room and the garage I know I...

Y'all. Something crazy happened tonight, more or less by accident. (At least at first.) I ran 5K through my neighborhood...in 30:39! Jordan and I were running together for the first half to 3/4 mile or so while chatting, then he pulled ahead. He warms up and then does run/walk intervals...

We're back home now (boo hoo!) after having SO MUCH FUN at our first runDisney race, in spite of it being so incredibly hot and humid! Jordan finished in 2:21 and change, and I finished in 3:21 and change, and stopped for a few pictures. I'll come back later and write up a race recap. We're...

Random question for those of you who have done runDisney races before...what is the size of the bib? I'm decorating our shirts and want to make sure I allow enough room at the bottom so that the bibs don't cover any of the design.

I'm starting to panic a little bit. Basically nature is trying to kill me. LOL, sorta. My last 2 runs last week were more or less successful, although they both felt much harder than they should have. The 6-mile run on Friday I know I was going too fast. I still have a hard time hitting EA...

I'm still alive! LOL! Things have been crazy busy around here (or maybe just crazy...) so I haven't been around to update. But I have been running and mostly following the plan. Shortly after my last update hubby and I went on a week-long vacation, but the day before we left Jordan and I did...

Just printed our waivers and now I'm in a bit of a panic since the waiver page says everyone needs a picture I.D. I just looked up the race policies and in one sentence it says parents sign the waiver AND pick up the bibs for their minor children, but then the next sentence says everyone needs...

Welcome! Looking forward to following your journal!

Congratulations on a great race and a new PR!

Another week down, and another week closer to Star Wars weekend! I can't believe how close it is getting! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Thank you @DopeyBadger for the amended chart for this week! I followed it for Monday and Wednesday, then was out allllll day yesterday and...

I'm way overdue for an update here, courtesy of the kids and me joining my husband on a business trip to San Diego last week. We left the morning of Saturday the 19th and returned late this past Monday night. I'm generally NOT a spontaneous person but we decided the day before that the kids...

Thanks! I figured it was a small enough difference that it probably didn't matter. I'll most likely just stick with rounding up since it looks like that odd number only shows up once more during the entire training cycle. The rest are all numbers that work with the Garmin. Today was 4 miles...

Yesterday was another speed workout. It was supposed to be 3 intervals of .375 miles with .25 recovery in between, with a mile warm up and cool down. While I did figure out how to set up an interval run in my Garmin, as far as I can tell I can only set intervals in increments of .05 miles, so...

Great job on the weight loss and yay on almost being done with C25K! It sounds like you've got a fun weekend planned. Don't let the 12-year-old not coming get to you...12 can be a hard age. My 4th son just turned 13 last month, so I have lots of experience with 12-year-old boys, lol. I'm...

Sounds like you had a great first race! Congratulations!!

Cute hat!

Today's run: 4 miles at EA (15:47). Splits of 15:28, 15:33, 15:41, and 15:38. Still can't quite get slow enough. Still trying.
