Reached the big goal!

Even after completing a marathon I still could not run a full 5k without taking atleast 1 walk break. Well yesterday at the 5k in Swainsboro Ga (for the first time) was able to run the entire race without having the take that little rest walk. I usually always do 7:1 Galloway ratio's whether im just training, doing a 5k or the marathon! so now im on a mission! Even though im slow I feel like a reached a big goal. =) I also got 2nd place in my age group and got a really nice trophy. The best part of all was getting to help my mom run in the last .25 of her race and she also placed 2nd in her age group. That's the first award she has ever received..ever.. of any kind! So she is really excited about all of this and THAT makes me really happy! =)

IM BACKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so I took a little break from running. I'm back and training for my next marathon that is in less than 8 weeks. The Run 4 Missions 5k was this past weekend. I had my 2nd fastest time but I was actually really proud of the consistency of the pace. I tried to hold a 7:1 ratio. EVERY run I do now regardless of low long or how far I try to run 7 minute and take a 1 minute walk break. This is my goal for the marathon. I want to chill and actually enjoy it without killing myself.

Kona Hawaii June 28th..... ohhh yeah =)

I DID IT!!!!!!!!

I cant believe it but I am officially a "MARATHONER". I had a few "issues" along the course but still made it in 06:24:33. THANK GOD IT'S OVER!!!! however, I look forward to the next one! =)

=(

My running is at a complete stop. I either got the stress fracture running chickamaugua or either on the first 2 miles of running zooma. Either way, I can't run! I am having to take 6 weeks off and this is week 4. I think the mental side of not running is the worst part. I need to move! All the junk I used to could leave behind when I ran is piling up on my shoulders. I guess I can unload at Disney. I will be at the start line and who knows how it will turn out. I have a feeling that I will finish it even if it causes me more damage but it's been such a goal that I have worked so hard on that I just have to do it. I don't care about the time at all. Just the finish line. Either way, I miss the running club. I miss my buddies. Miss the energy from everybody... Hope to see you all soon!~

oh yeah, I have lost 6 pounds in the past month on the stress diet! It really works! Stay stressed all the time, forget to eat, work all night and before you know it... weight loss!

theres too many side affects to mention that go along with this diet but it's working pretty well... =P

Chickamaugua Half Marathon

Great race! 2:40:37 was my time so I was satisfied with that. Zooma half is coming up this weekend and im bound and determined to atleast do it in 2:37. That's "the goal".

Chickamaugua was a pretty big race. Lot's of folks freezing our butts off but within an hour everyone was peeling of the gloves and jackets. Bartram Marathon is in 2 weeks and Disney Marathon will be before I know it =O

The knee.... grrrrrr!

Damn this knee!!!!! That's about all I have to say!

I do good to run 2 miles before it starts feeling the size of an elephant leg. My question is, how the hell am I supposed to be ready to run the Disney Marathon. =( oh well I guess that's just "one of those things".

My next race will be the Jim Herrin 5k. It seems like every 3 or 4 months I have to start all over with running. It's a bit discouraging but I guess as long as I do get the chance to "start over" then it's ok.

Zooma half and the Disney will both be here before I know it.

druuuuuunk times!!!!

9:30ish Vodka and redbull
10:30ish Smirnoff and some nasty rasberry that made me think bad thoughts!
then between 11:30-12am I downed almost an entire bottle of rum. The first drink was mixed, 2nd was mixed... after that was 2 shots of straight rum... now for the timeline of only 30 seconds apart...
"Why not just drink it straight and save the calories of pineapple juice"
