Alright, I have been looking at Marks blog and admiring his 1/2 marathon training post so I decided to start my own. I will try to not ramble too much or tell you embarrassing information. Just what is happening to us and how our running is going. Posting here will also shame me into continuing to run since it will be here for the world to see.
Jenean and I plan to run a 1/2 marathon in Dec and since both of us have been out of running for several years, (like 25 for me) it is a goal that is both motivating and scary. Since Jan of this year I have lost about 65lbs, but I should lose another 15 to get to the ideal weight. I lost it by going low carb and low cal and some treadmill work, but the last 15 is not coming off easily. I have started pretty slowly to build up longer runs and less walking. I have also mixed in some bike riding on the days that I do not run. So far the bad knee is holding up OK. Some swelling at first but less the past 2 weeks. Friday I biked 7 miles on Scull Creek trail, a nice ride. Sat. I ran 1.7 miles on Clabber Creek trail, hot and at a fast pace but I made it without being too winded. Took Sun off but did some painting for George Dombek so I did get out and worked up a sweat.
Must run this afternoon after work.
