    Hey Nighttime Runner's Club Friend!

    This week is Week 4 of my Road to the 10 miler!
    Schedule was:
    Monday - It turns out I was in the wrong training class so I only did 2.5 miles - should have done 4, but that's okay...10 minute pace...easy run

    Tuesday - Strength Training - 60 minutes BodyPump Class

    Wednesday - 3 mile interval training - 10 minute warm up then 4 miles at race pace then 90 seconds jog, repeated three times then 15 minute cool down...Did this one in a weird summer storm - double rainbows in the sky - fantastic! **Must tell you funny thing happened - I was running with another girl in the training and we passed a young girl jogging in a very...um....less than supportive bra - looked like a porn video :noway: we both looked at eachother and broke out laughing we almost had to stop! Girls! first rule of running - wear a GOOD support bra!!

    Thursday - XT - Cross training day - did 45 minutes on the Elliptical at 70%THR

    Friday - REST!!

    Saturday - 6.5 miles scheduled. Found lots of new courses in my area on www.mapmyrun.com - great site!!

    That's it!!

    Special applause to all the beginners! Keep up the great work!!

    I know I haven't officially introduced myself and I'll get around to that, but I've been dreading doing the 20 minute run on the couch to 5k and tonight I did it and FINISHED IT!!! No walking for me, ran at my usual pace. I'm so excited!! I can hardly believe I did it. And I only felt like I was going to die the last 2 minutes or so!! I did end up getting another side stitch, but ran through it and it went away. I'm so pumped!!! Just had to share!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    Anways, back to your regularily scheduled programming!

    Congrats!! That is wonderful progress!! Breathe through those side stiches....Deep breaths... and if that doesn't work what helps me is do a couple of pretend coughs, pushes on the diaghram..

    Hey Great time!! 53 minutes is awesome! Good Luck! Do you have a goal time for finishing the 5K?

    Pointers for the race...when the race starts your adrenaline will soar through your body, you may experience dry mouth - just find your pace as quick as you can which is difficult if it is a crowded race. I usually find someone who is running the same pace and fall behind them...a man with a cute butt preferably!! JK!! (okay maybe only kidding a little bit! :laugh: )

    lastly, treat yourself to some guilty pleasure when you are - because you DESERVE IT!

    Great idea on the "visual aid" lol

    I would like to be under 23 mins, but that maybe pushing it a tad. The last few times I have run aroud 3.5 miles, I have clocked right at 25 mins. Cross your fingers there is no wind!! hahaha

    Tune in Saturday morning about 9am CST for the results HAHAHAHA
