In addition to running I walk quite a lot, especially on weekends - I have a dog and walk him twice a day. I also do a core/strength class once a week. Maybe I should also add swimming. I'll think about it - thanks for the suggestion! :) How much cross-training do you do? Or plan doing?

I plan to run a half in September too! Here is a training plan I want to follow (kind of). One long run, one short run, and two medium runs per week. Started week 1 already! :)

I am running in Lansing, MI! :)

I officially started training for a half in September! I have 15 weeks and use a 12 week plan. Just did a first 3 mi run! :)

Thanks! I love UP, and especially Lake Superior shore! :)

Good job! I like running in the morning too! I just hate to get out of bed when everybody else is asleep :) I am glad you enjoyed the pictures! I speak French, so pronunciation was not a problem for me, but I know what you are talking about! :)

This is freat! Amazing how you get hooked up... :)

Thanks! It was so beautiful, I thought I 'd walk it with a heavy camera. Cannot believe I did this damn hill twice! :) But it was worth it! And they have pretty medals too!

Thank you, @taeliesyn, it ti! And their medals are awesome! :)

Time to start training for a half! :)

I did a 10 k today! I was concerned it might be hot, but it was actually pretty chilly and rained all morning; stopped right before the race started. The Mackinaw island where I raced is beautiful this time of year with lilacs blooming everywhere... No cars are allowed on the island, one can walk, bike, or ride a horse…

Running in hot weather is VERY difficult for me!

The Mackinaw island where I raced is beautiful this time of year with lilacs blooming everywhere... No cars are allowed on…

Well, 10k is done! I was concerned it might be hot, but it was pretty chilly and rained all morning, but stopped right before the race started. The Mackinaw island where I raced is beautiful this time of year with lilacs blooming everywhere... No cars are allowed on the island, one can walk, bike, or ride a horse carriage,…

Thanks! Running in 30 min! Will report :)

Last run is done before the race this weekend!

2.5 miles done tonight! Last run before the race this weekend!

I missed some running since we were camping for the long weekend. Did a lot of hiking instead! :) But this morning I did W9D3! :)

Yogurt/cottage cheese/cheese Eggs Nuts Hummus Vegetable stews

Yeah. The key word is "spreading", not eating it with a spoon... :)

Try some natural almond butter! ;)

I used to love it sooo much! Knew it's a danger and stayed away from it for few years. Tried it recently. Where did the magic go? It became way too sweet for my taste now.... :(

I cannot believe you did two 10k's and a half in one weekend! This is so impressive! Now I am not as scared of my 10k next Saturday! :)

Ouch! Get well soon! :)

W9d2 is done. It was hot and humid today so I went to a gym. I am still a little bit congested so just did a lazy 3 mi.

Awesome! :)

Keep it up, girl! :)

I was sick all last week - got a really bad cold, had a fever and could barely get out of bed... It was miserable, but it's over. I am back to running - did a slow 3 mi today! As summer is here I started morning runs again. W9 D1 done at 6 am :)
