Week Nine

I have been running like crazy!  I started a new job over the last couple weeks where I help pack and move, which is helping tone my arms, and I jog daily.  In addition to my team schedule, Colleen and I have been doing pretty well at going to Alki a few times a week (and it's absolutely wonderful!), plus I have my standard Saturday morning team practices.  Our times went up this week to 40 and 50 minutes, and we're also incorporating hills.  Ouch!  My ass is going to look great, though, which is what keeps me going!  My sister and I sing  "Apple Bottom Jeans" to get me pumped up.  Here's how this week works:

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: 40 minute Hills

Wednesday: 40 minute Run

Thursday: 50 minute Run (small hills)

Friday: Rest

Saturday: 70 minute Matthew's Beach Team Run

Sunday:  30 minute Run

I'm beginning to incorporate more yoga, toning exercises, and pilates into my workout.  My arms are already feeling it from work, so why not?  I did an ab routine tonight after the jog.  Feeling good!  26.2 miles good?

Tuesday was "Recommitment" day, which basically means I was supposed to be at 25% of my funds raised and I ALLLLmost made it.  Look out for a few fundraising events over the next two months as I prepare to collect the last 3+ thousand for the cure!  I love making a difference!  Woohoo!!  Join me, come for a jog, donate today!!!
