2 more days!!!!

I've been able to keep up with training the past week. I took Friday off from it. I ran for like 3 miles on Saturday and went for 4 miles on Sunday. Monday night I worked out on the elliptical machine for an hour. Today I'm gonna do some running and see how that goes. I basically do a run/walk. I haven't really gotten adjusted to doing a continual run, I tire out pretty fast. I'm nervous, but I suppose it doesn't really matter if I finish last in the race tomorrow...at this point, I just care about crossing the finish line. Today I did a run/walk of 4.64 miles in approximately 1 hour and 11 mins.

Countdown...1 week!

I have one week before my first race...I'm feeling a little nervous about it. I've been making decent progress I suppose. On Monday I did a run/walk of a little over 4 miles. Tuesday I was on the ellipitical for about 45 mins. Wednesday I ran a little under 4.5 miles in about 1 hour and 15 mins. Today I'm hoping to hit the elliptical machine for at least 45 mins. I hope I can time myself and do a little better before I have the race.

Gotta Focus!

Although I've been exhausted a lot lately, I've been able to squeeze in some training. I did 40 mins on the elliptical on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I went 60 mins on the treadmill and covered about 3.40 miles, Thursday I did 45 mins on the elliptical. Friday I used as my off day and was able to go out with the ladies from my softball team :) We went to Hogs & Honeys and took a ride on the mechanical bull. However, my knees feel really messed up from it because after I was thrown off the bull and landed on the inflatable padding, some guy wanted to get up and ride the bull...he jumped over the gated area and landed on the padding...which made me fall to my knees...needless to say the bouncers threw him out of the club. Saturday my knees felt sore so I did about 45 mins of elliptical. Today, I tried to run outdoors...I'm still not used to it. I probably did about 2.5 miles in under an hour. I have about 11 days to run 5 miles...I'm so nervous! I guess I'll just have to do better tomorrow.
