Hi all,
Well, I was not able to do a proper timed mile on Tuesday at the track, but I did make the pleasant discovery that I now have FOUR speeds: walk, fast walk, jog and (slow) sprint! How fun is that!
It's those little things that make me happy. Well, actually, that's not so little, now is it? When I started this whole business in January, I most certainly did NOT have four speeds. It was more like two: go and stop. So that's progress, and a good way to see it.
I've got to figure out a way to convince my husband that we need to go to San Jose for the half marathon down there. Literally my whole training group is going to be in that one, and if I do the Cowtown, I will do it alone. Ick.
This weekend is a long run/walk (12 miles!), so hopefully I will be able to complete that well. It will be interesting to see how long it takes me to do. Two weekends back, a trio of us would walk for 8 minutes and then run for 1, which I was able to do consistently for the whole time. Now, mind you, "the whole time" was for 5 miles. But I still felt pretty good at the end, so I am going to try to do that again for this long workout.
I'll let you know how it goes!

Wow, that sure is some progress. Don't worry too much about the weight - Body Mass Index is a better indicator of how you are doing, since muscle is more dense than that other stuff. When exactly is the cowtown race? Depending on the date, we may be able to watch or even *gasp* participate. We haven't been training or anything, but at least I have been working out and the Mrs. is staying in pretty good shape.
Maybe.
I'll see you, husband, and the little one soon at the paaaaarty!!
