I’ve been asked a few times if I’m still running or training as I’m not posting much running info. The answer is YES!

It’s true, it’s been a little crazy. I was going to start off saying “It’s obvious I’ve been busy as I haven’t posted in over a month,” but then I looked at my post history and it’s not so obvious… at least not yet. I’ve tried to keep the posts coming, and I’m sure if [...]

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 [...]

There’s been some questions about my C25k experience and methods. Instead of answering each independantly, I’ll make one post and refer to it. I hope this helps. Q: What the heck is C25k? A: C25k is the shortened version of Couch to 5k. The idea is a training program to take non runners from the [...]

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 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 [...]

In the words of the video game StarWars™ Pod Racer, “It’s a new lap record!” 3.4 k! I modified the run to push myself a little and get ready for next week, 3min run, 90sec walk, alternate for 20 min. If you add it up, the run would actually end at 18min. I decided just [...]

Quick update tonight. 3k total. Felt good but pace really slowed at times. Looking forward to a strong run on Sat.

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. [...]
