Goal Type:

Unknown

Running Accomplishments:

Completed a half marathon (mostly walking).

Short-Term Running Goals:

Jog a 5k in under 37 minutes. Lose a few extra pounds along the way. Make it to the top of Mount Timpanogas and hopefully back next year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay within 10 lbs of my husbands disgustingly low weight.

Personal:

I am a mother of four kids ranging in age from 15 to 3. Thus the extra weight that I need to lose. I am a military spouse who has thus lived all over the place. We have been married for 18 years.

I'm a Wogger. Meaning I walk/jog. I would not call it running and I only joined the FastRunningBlog because my husband ArmyRunner made me and Sarah threatened to try and convince me also.

I actually jogged for 4.1 miles and then walked .9 miles along the Provo River trail. My longest continous run in my life. It was painful and slow but I did it.

just did a brisk 5 mile walk in order to give my shins a chance to heal.  They feel much better this evening.  I know I must be getting in better shape because this walk seemed quite easy.

I wogged 4 miles up in provo canyon.  I took Jordan in the stroller with me. pushing an extra fifty pounds in front of me up hill wasn't easy.  Down hill it was a breeze.  Starting next week I get to bring him along most of the time.  Yipee!!!

2 miles in the morning walking Jared to school.  It seemed a lot easier pushing the stroller up our hill than last school year but it is still not fun.

2 miles jogging .  did the first mile with jared in about 10:30 minutes but it just about killed me.  Once again I wonder why I am doing this to myself.  I did the 2nd mile in 12:10.  Ted thinks I can do a 5k next month in under 36 minutes but I am not so sure I can sustain the pace yet.

5 miles easy on the provo river trail.  Pushed the stroller.  Jordan gets bored on these walks.

walked down to the school, jogged 2 miles and hen walked the hill by by house.  Pushing the stroller up near rock canyon park is quite a work out.  Either my back will get in to great shape or I'll end up in traction.

walked to and from school in the morning then jogged a mile with Jared in the afternoon.  After that I jogged all out as fast as I could go at the awe inspiring pace(ha, ha) of 10:08.

just took an evening stroll up the hill from my house and back down.  Did a loop around windsor street. A stroll is better than nothing I suppose.

Just a mix of jogging walking near the waterfall.  jordan likes to get out a run with me occasionally but he stops every time he sees anything interesting.

Ran a practice 5k to start out today.  Thank you sarah for watching Jordan and making this possible.  I ran a 36:36.  The first mile was only a 12:27 because I am really slow til I get a little warmed up. the next  mile was 11:39 and the 3rd was 11:35. then I sprinted(for me) the last .1 in 55 seconds.  I walked/jogged the rest after i caught my breath.  Sarah said I don't need to run the race on monday because I already met my goal.  My crazy husband says I should run a sub 35.  ( as I said CRAZY)

I convinced my neighbor who just moved in and is getting used to the altitude to walk with me by the lake.  A nice easy walk which I needed because my calves and shins were pretty tight from yesterdays work out.

Yes I said 8 miles.  I do not know what on earth possed me to wog 8 miles, with a stroller, ending with a mile straight up the hill to my house.  Averaged just under 15 minute miles but I am paying for it now.  My legs feel fine and I knew I would be tired but I never knew that my back could feel so sore and still retain the ability to walk.  Stupid aren't I?  I should have given myself a couple more weeks pushing the stroller on average walks before trying anything so ambitious.  I am ever so grateful for painkillers!!

I only had about 50 minutes to work out while Ted was getting ready for work.( He watched Jordan so I didn't have to push the stroller.)  did 14 min. miles on the hills. 2 hilly workouts in a row.  I felt good this morning all things considering but this afternoon my shins and hip are sore.  Too many hills I am sure.
