I realized I’ve been so focused on the 10k and bees that I failed to post my week 7 & 8 C25k experience. Here’s the recap. Week 7 is considered by many to be the hardest transition week for the C25k as there are no more interval runs and I must say, it was certainly […]

This past Saturday was the 2010 Miracle Miles 4 Kids 10k benefiting the Family Care Network, and my first ever 10k. First, I want to thank the people who sponsored me to run and the generosity each showed in giving to this cause: LEVEL Studios, John, Christie, Rodney, and Traci. I was great to not […]

No, not that really bad movie from the 70’s! However, it did occur right outside our backdoor, so it felt like the movie. Looking at the pictures, what are your thoughts? Luckily, there are people who come and take care of them. Due to declining bee (honey) populations, I wanted the bees to be taken […]

Quick review for week 6. I know some of you get the daily updates via Facebook as well, so I’m sorry if this is a bit too much information about my runs as well as the fact that this is just a recap of what gets posted. Tuesday was interesting as it was a slight […]

I’ve made it over half way! The Couch to 5k program is supposed to take you from the couch to running in a 5k in only 9 weeks. For some of us non-normal sized people, 9 weeks may be a little aggressive, but Basketball gave me a little bit of a head start. If you’re […]

I’ve decided to switch to a weekly recap of the Couch to 5k training, hope that keeps down the chatter between Facebook and such. I’m using a new program RoadRunnerGPS with my BlackBerry and it’s charting each run if you’re interested, link posted after each day. In my last post, I commented how week 4 […]

Cold but nice run tonight. Completed my longest distance and longest interval of running; 3.3k with a long interval of 4 minutes! While really cool, it wasn’t supposed to be 4 minutes, only 3. The plan this week is 90 sec run, 90 sec walk, 3 min run, 3 min walk, alternate for 20 minutes. […]

Had a nice outside run tonight. It’s an interesting difference being on the road vs the treadmill. I really felt like my pace was slower, yet I once again hit 3k for my run total. This is the last day of 90 sec jog, 60 sec walk alternating for 20 min. Cardio felt pretty good, […]

For those not following me on Facebook, here’s my original postings for the Couch to 5k, which I started on the 21st. day 1 in the bag. 60 second jog alt 90 second walk for 20 min. Harder than I thought it would be. Total of 3k. day 2 of Couch to 5k, 3.1k in […]

Due to the weather outside, I decided to use the gym tonight for my run. Me and treadmills normally don’t get along, as I often stop the belt which throws me off stride and I end up holding on for dear life. When I started running, I was encouraged to look into forefoot running. I […]
