WE DID IT!

Mike and I completed our first 1/2 marathon!

We finished in 2:41. I know for sure I could do it in at least 1/2 hr less but at mile 5 my knee gave out! I have never had knee problems in my life.

Under training

I quit running after I ran 9 miles THREE WEEKS AGO. This was bad for me. I ran 7 miles one weekend, 8 the next then 9 then quit. This is NOT good! You REALLY need to gradually work up to at least a good 10 miles before completing a 1/2. This I am certain of!

Carbonation

I am sure giving up carbonation for three weeks helped me! My breathing was great, I never felt exhausted or unable to catch my breath. Was it because of no carbonation or was it because I drank more water? I don't know but it worked!

Things I think hurt my knee...

1. Not properly training for the miles on my body
2. I need new shoes
3. Not stretching and warming up prior to race
4. The slant of the roads didn't help, I'm sure

Other than my knee

I felt GREAT! No exhaustion, No blisters, No pain or soreness anywhere but my left knee.

My Plan

I will take a week or so off then begin my triathlon training. I will do the complete training after the triathlon for my next 1/2 marathon! I plan to finish Chicago 1/2 marathon in 2:10!

Indy Race

What a great race! Incredible! So many people out there cheering us on! The weather was beautiful, running the Indy Race Track was so exciting! I have so much more to say but I will have to add more later since I need to go visit with my family!

CoffeeBreak.. GREAT JOB! I checked your time and see you beat your goal! LESS than 2 hours! woo hoo!! WAY TO GO!!

more later!

I did NOT run/walk the 13 miles I had planned on doing Sunday morning.

I am NOT upset because I biked on Saturday and felt so good and strong that I decided to stay rested for my race this weekend!

Today I am going to go buy myself something to wear at the race.

I pray it doesn't rain in Indy on Saturday!

edit

Here is what I bought, I am not sure which top I like best!

IT'S THURSDAY!!

Weekend is almost here! I have to work again this weekend but then I have three weekends in a row off! YEAH!!

Work

Going great! Business is picking up for me so that makes me happy! AND my days go by faster!

Allergies

My hubby and my son are miserable with allergies. I went to the store late last night to get Visine Allergy and Claritin and the only people in the store (at 10PM) were 6 of us at the allergy aisle!

That's all for now!

10 More Days!

I have not run in 10 days! I think I am finished with my training. I am going to swim, bike and maybe take a few 4-5 mile runs and call it good.

I have not had any carbonation in 9 days! I don't even miss it...(well, maybe a little bit!)

Busy at work right now.. more later!
