Great job on 8 miles and great job on everyone's achievements! God Bless!

Good Morning everyone!
I ran my first 1/2 marathon today...my time was 1:52:37 (an 8:36 pace!!!!) My goal was to run it in under 2 hours, so I'm SUPER happy with how I did.

No run today. After a 7 miler yesterday followed by P90X leg workout, my butt is still sore! So - did Kenpo X and some Wii Fit with the kids.
Shuntae, if you can already run 4 miles, you have enough 'base' to be plenty strong enough to train for a 1/2 Marathon by October. Kechie has already given you some good advice. Go for it!!0 -
Awesome runs everyone!
Today is my rest day.
I'm getting stuff together to start P90X tomorrow!
Question for those of you with P90X and running experience....
Do you adjust your running days to better coincide with the other workout for the day?
ie~ not running on the same day you do plyometrics or the leg routine?
Or can you flip flop the P90X workouts...ie~reverse chest/back with legs/back to better fit with running?
Thanks as always for the advice!

On my first round, I did the 'classic' routine, and fit my running in whenever, usually on a stretch or yoga day. This time I am doing the 'doubles' schedule, substituting the cardio X work out with my running. When you do that, you do leg work outs on running days. Seems to be working well so far (it is easier doing the legs after the run then having a 'down day' than it is to do legs one day and try to run the next).Awesome runs everyone!

When I am training for a half or long race, I typically just cut out Plyo and Kenpo and sub in a run and then run on Yoga days. It's up to you, if you want to do a double or not. I am also biking/ swimming so I just have to watch that I don't overtrain. HTH!0 -
That is awesome that your girls ran with you! I want to get my kids involved with it more!
It was so fun! I'm so glad that they really enjoyed themselves. I added a pic of me w/ my 10yo and our medals! :bigsmile:0 -
Well, I ended up doing sort of a tri today. I am really working at fitting in my swimming for the Olympic tri. I swam 2,000 yds, my longest swim yet! (that's over a mile!) Then came home, hopped on the bike and biked out to the park where my dh had taken the girls (about 8.5 miles). I couldn't find them so I ran the trail there, I think it's around 2 miles. So... there was my tri! Then did some fishing.
Fun times! 0 -
Dang Jess, I don't think you work out enough, I'm going to ask you to tone it down... haha yea that was definitely sarcasm. Thats awesome... I'm moving to sacramento soon and I can't wait to be able to start biking, I'm going to become a hard core biker/runner, I could never give up running! I don't think I can become a swimmer though, I'd seriously drown, I took swimming class for my major and I was the one in the shallow end haha
I've been getting grad gifts together today so I'm going to run this evening, why do I keep posting BEFORE I run?!! I don't know, I'm weird I guess but yea I'm just going to do 6 or so. Happy Running all!

Hello! I am not new to MFP, but I am new to this blogging thing. I have been reading this topic lately and really love all the encouragement and advice going around. Ya'll are awesome!
I have been running for 4 years now and have 2 half-marathons under my belt, several 10 and 5 ks. My heart wants me to move up to the marathon, my head won't let me sign up--I'm too scared to commit!
Right now I am working on my speed--I've been consistently a 10-minute miler forever except in my 5ks. I am also slowly adding miles every month, just in case I talk myself into that November marathon.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the group!

Welcome to the group Jodi! And you should definitely sign up for the marathon, I ran my first one a couple of weeks ago and it was GREAT! You can do it, it is very mental but it sounds like you have ran enough to be able to do it. Welcome! :happy:

duffyzmom~I also did a Relay for Life this weekend! Did you run during it? I tried but the track was very crowded, so I just walked...a lot! I estimate I walked a total of about 15-20 miles in the 14 hours we were there...All for a great cause!
It is funny, my calves have been really sore all week, but after all the walking yesterday/this morning, they feel good now!
Congrats to all on the various races this weekend! You guys rock!:bigsmile:0 -
Good evening everyone!!!
Today was supposed to be my long day but it just didn't work out. I was able to run 3 miles before it got too dark so I'm glad with that. I think I'm getting my first signs of shin splints anyways so I'm not all that upset that I didnt go longer.
Congrats to everyone's run this weekend and Happy Running!0 -
Hi Everyone
I would like to join this thread. I did my first run walk tonight.
I use to run about 6 years ago. I started out with the couch to 5 K and I am doing something similar to it this time.
I love running and always wanted to get back to it but I have gained a lot of weight. It is a vicious circle you have to run to lose the weight and you can't run because your carrying too much weight around. I have tried to get back into running several times over the years but I think I take things too quickly and I get burned out. I am going to build my endurance and not push myself too much this time.
Thanks for letting me ramble.
Take care

Haha, that cracked me up! :laugh: I know, I get called the Energizer bunny often. I'm really getting in to the swimming now that I'm feeling more confident in the pool. It took a while though, I used to be just a runner, then started biking, and figured I may as well swim too. :bigsmile: I love the triathlons though, they are so fun! Hope you had a good run!

Ran a 5k saturday and finished in 28:10 a minute faster than last time....I know that if I completely quit smoking i can shave 2 minutes off my time, so today I have decided that I am REALLY quitting this time! My friends are amazed at the fact that I can run like I do and still smoke and everytime I pick one up I wonder why I'm doing it...so wish me luck guys! Today's gonna be a 4.0 miler!0

To all of our racers this weekend: WTG!!!!!:drinker:
Your times are motivating and inspiring! Erin (Tiddle) - you rock!
Welcome to our newbies!
I had a good weekend. Had a nice 13 mile long run yesterday. I'll definitely take a rest today. I'll probably just hop on my bike with my 3-year old and pedal around for as long as she lets me!

You can definitely do it!! I'm almost 5 years quit and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Seriously. It is hard, no doubt, but completely doable! Good luck!0 -

Congrats on your decision to quit!! I'm a smoker too...but for today I haven't smoked a cigarrette (it's been a couple of months since my last cig). You can do it!! Good timing on your 5k!! I don't smoke and I am wayyyyyy slower than that :laugh:
No running for me. I am sore!!! All that weedeating yesterday, plus my 3 mile run has made me a sore lady today. So, today is my rest day (which it usually is anyway lol).
I ran a lot more than usual this week. Normally I run 3 days but for some reason (lol, like its such a mystery) I ran 5 days this past week. I guess my slow speed has me scared for my first 5k in August. I don't want to be laughed at lol
Anyways, have a great day everyone and Happy Running!0 -
Good morning!
Had a surprise party thrown for me on Saturday. YIPPEE!!! My long run yesterday was a little sluggish....had way too many toasts the night before! :drinker:
Did complete 10.6 in 1hr 37m -- hoping to complete my 1/2 in under 2 hours -- hopefully I can record a time like Tiddle! WTG!!! That's an awesome time!
Today is a rest day for me....Hope you all have a happy Monday!0 -
Easy 5 for me this morning. Mondays are always tough because I tend to eat horribly on Sundays! Congrats to all the weekend racers-makes me want to sign up for one soon!
Thanks for the warm welcome.....

Cool :glasses: - I did get my 7 mile Long Run in during the Relay for Life. I walked about 3 hours during the day but at Midnight I did my 7 mile run. The track was not crowded at all at this hour. I had seen at least one person doing their run during the day and then in the evening there were quite a few that were running. My guess is that like me they had long runs scheduled for Sunday and just couldn't imagine after being up all night feeling up to it. I definitely did not I took at least 3 big naps yesterdy.
No run for me today. Mondays are a day off. I am cleaning out the garage with kids and then will do Burn Circuit 1 from Chaleane.
Welcome all the newbies and Congrats to all who ran races this weekend. :drinker:0
