Day 27

What a GREAT run this morning. Thanks Coach Ann. We did a 5 mile run & chatting w/ her made it go so easy and fast. I recieved my 1st mail in donation today! :) My sweet neighbor gave me a check! Thanks Mrs. Prescott. I am $5 shy of the $500 mark OH YEA!!!!!! I can't wait for the mail tomorrow to see what I get! hhahahahaha

Day 26

It was my rest day so that is exactly what I did. I am looking forward to trying out my new shoes & hydration belt tomorrow! :)

Day 25

Good morning. Sorry I didn't write last night my computer was acting weird. I went to an AMAZING nutrition clinic last night. Now I have been to nutritionist before for Andy (he is diabetic) but this was was specifically for running. It was great. I learned so much & can't wait to implement it into my training. It will take sometime to figure it all out but I am sure I can get it done! :) Yesterday I ran a 5 mile run it was nice. I did the 8-1 intervals and boy oh boy those are huge. I am sooo glad Coach Ann told me about those thanks a million. I was a bit tired I think I over did it on Wed. workouts but live & learn right? I finally got my new shoes from Shu's yesterday and a "hydration" belt hahahhaha I was calling it a water belt. Guess I will learn the running lingo soon enough. I can't wait to try it out on Saturday it is our 6 mile run. After emailing my mentor I have decided not to do the St. Luke's Women's Fitness next week. I kept going back and forth if I was going to do it or not. That is the day of our 7 mile run. Now I have done 1/2 marathons but I think this 7 mile will really set my tone. I am a scheduler and if I get of schedule & skip it I am afraid I won't make it up that week & come the weekend after at the 8 mile I might hit a brick wall. My focus right now is the training for the marathon & fundraising so I decided to stay focused & skip the 5k this year. I think it is the best decision for me. Today is my rest day so I will rest! =)

Day 24

What a great day. It was my cross training day so I went this morning to the Rec Center to finish up my training program with a trainer & then back to the Rec Center for my core training & finished it off with yoga!!! It felt great! Tomorrow I will get the last of my letters out and go for a run! :)

Day 23

What a great day! Wow great ideas for fundraising Jenn & mom! I am sooo gonna ask about the dance & church bulletin. Mom I like the garage sale idea but got nothing left to sell! :)
Had a great workout 2 mile run & 1 mile on the elliptical. Tomorrow the rest of my letters are going out! OH YEA bring in the donations I am 10% to my goal!!!!!!!

Day 22

What a beautiful day it was today. You can tell that fall is right around the corner. My favorite time of year! This fall will be a whole new meaning to me. I am meeting such amazing people in my journey from my fellow runner, the honorees, the trainers and just everyone that is touch some way by cancer. I feel so blessed & excited to be on this journey. I met with my Nampa Women's Women's Running Club tonight & they are so inspiring. I did a great 3 1/2 mile run (I am thinking it was about that distance had to turn around) Felt great & had a wonderful breeze. I need to pick up the fundraising. My letters should be going out this week so I am very excited about that. I know I am on this path for a purpose & I am very excited. I am so thankful for everyone who has donated so far.

Day 20, 21

Saturday was my Coached training & we went for 5 miles. I ran an 8 min/1 min intervals & it was FANTASTIC!!! After the 5 miles I felt like I could do 5 more. I am excited for this interval training. It will help me mentally at mile 20 I am sure. I also was very consistent w/ my speed and they say that is HUGE. Still working on fundraising I am now at 10% of my goal! YEA!!!! I still have a long journey ahead of me but know that with everyone's love & prayers I can make it through it!! I am excited! Thank you!
