Friday!

Today is Friday. Too bad it is supposed to rain all weekend. We have been having great weather (50's-60's). Jim also was supposed to race but it looks like we will be postponed again.
Yesterday was a great day. I ran my furthest distance ever-3 miles! I rewarded myself with a new pair of Nike running shorts. I also had two other runs outside this week. They went ok but I need to up my distance when outside. With practice, I know I can.

Spring is getting closer

The past few days have been beautiful-mid 50's. Yesterday I did my first run outside. I only ran a mile though. I need to push myself more outside and know that I can do it. I kind of psych myself out. Today is a new day and I'm going to try again. Wish me luck!

PR!

Last night I ran the longest that I ever did in my life-31 minutes. It ended up being about 2.6 miles. I was very excited. I slowed down two times when I was getting tired and once I felt up to it went back to normal speed. I think I could have kept going but oh well!! I'm proud of how far I have come.

Ready for the weekend!

This was a long week after only working Monday and Tuesday last week due to the snow. It was a great week though. Jude went to the doctor yesterday to follow up his tongue surgery. All is well!! I also had a good running week. Both Monday and Wednesday I ran for 20 minutes straight!! I would like to run today but I do not think it is going to happen, so tomorrow I am aiming for 22 minutes.
Tomorrow is Jim's bday dinner with Adam and Courtney and Sunday we will celebrate with the family.

Week 5 day 3 complete!

Last night I completed the long 20 minute run without stopping. Well I did have to stop for about 10 seconds because the stop on the treadmill came off when I was adjusting my ipod, so I had to start the treadmill up again. Anyways, it went really well!! I think I could have kept on going. Yeah me!! Today is going to be an off day since we have an extended day at school-boo!! I think tomorrow I will do 20 minutes again and start week 6 on Friday.
Let's hope this school day goes fast!

Where have I been?

Long time, no post. I have been keeping up with my running, don't worry!! I was at home from Tuesday the 9th until today due to the snow storm we got. Jude also had his tongue proceduce on the 11th. All went well.
My great friend Kelly had her son Stephen on Valentine's Day at 5:08 am. I can't wait to meet the little guy.
Yesterday I did week 5 day 2 of C25K. I'm not sure if I'll do day 3 today or tomorrow. This is the big run of 20 minutes without stopping. It will be tough but I know I can do it.
Here are some pics from Jude's first bday party.

Happy Birthday Jude!!

Today is my little man's big day. I can not believe he is one already. We had a two hour delay this morning so Jude got to sleep in and have breakfast at home. It was nice to be able to do this for his birthday. We do not have anything planned for tonight. We will probably just sing again.

Tonight I am starting week 4 day 1 of C25K. I will update tomorrow.

Weekend recap

On Saturday I was supposed to go to Becky's bach. party but it ended up getting cancelled due to snow. Unfortunately, I drove the whole way there. The roads were horrible and I ended up driving for 4.5 hours. It was scary. I was just happy to get home.
On Sunday we had Jude's 1st bday party. It was great. He was such a happy boy and had a blast. I need to post some pics.
Yesterday I finished up week 3, day 3 on C25K. I will start week 4 on Wednesday. I also am going to try to get Jude's pictures this week. I must make an appt.

Happy Friday

Yeah, it's finally Friday. The weeks have been dragging lately. Today, we do not have a lot on the agenda. I plan to run after work and then go pick up Jude. I decided to start back with the Couch to 5K plan. I started on week 3 and will do my second workout tonight. I should be starting week 4 on Monday.
I think we are just going to stay home and relax tonight. Tomorrow is Becky's bach. party and Sunday is Jude's bday party. I will have to post some pics. My little boy is getting so big!!
So this weekend is going to fly by. Oh well! In two weeks we have a long weekend for President's Day. Jude is getting his tongue surgery on the 11th. Hopefully, he will recover easily so we can enjoy our long weekend off together.

New day

Well it's Tuesday and so far, so good this week. Last night I had my second workout on the treadmill. I did walking/running intervals for 25 minutes. My stomach was still a little full from dinner so it was pretty low impact. I'm thinking the best time to exercise is going to be right after work once Jim gets home. The past two weeks he has been working 10 hour days so I have been having to work out later than I would like to. Oh well.
Oh another note, I'm planning on doing my first 5K in April. I wasn't going to follow any training programs but I think I'm going to look at Couch to 5K and see if I could start on week 3 or 4. I will keep you posted.

On Sunday, Jude took 2 steps. My little guy is getting so big.

Treadmill is ready to go

Today was my first workout on my treadmill. It went ok because I was trying to use a program and the speeds and intervals were a bit off of what Im used to. I need to start off slow again and build up my distance. I ended up running a mile at a slow pace (12:00). I think I could have went faster but the computer was adjusting the speed and intervals as I was running. I liked the feature because it will make it easier when I run outside, but I never ran on a treadmill with an incline of 4%. I will make sure to adjust the #'s in the program before starting. After the timed mile, I did walking intervals for 10 minutes. So far, I like the treadmill. I'm making a goal of 5 days per week. Wish me luck!!

Is it Friday yet?

Wow! This week has been going slow. Jude had to go to the doctors again to check his ears and he still has an infection. I do not get it though because he is so happy and shows zero signs of being sick. I'm hoping this new medicine clears it up. We go back to the doctor next Thursday.
This week has been a no go for exercise. With changing semesters and the doctors I have been busy. I am looking forward to the delivery of my treadmill on Saturday. I also have decided on my first 5K. It is in mid April in good ole Shippensburg.
Well I must get ready for my first class. Hasta luego.

Long time, no post

Well, I just found this blog that I created a long time ago. Life is going well. I'm back to work. Jude is 11.5 months old. He is such a sweet boy. I have recently made some running goals and hope to run my first 5K this spring. I have not picked a specific race because there is not much in my area but I plan to pick one shortly. I have been researching.
