New Goal: Wenatchee Marathon Relay, April 16 2011

New Goal: April 16th is the Wenatchee Marathon. I volunteered to do a 6.5 mile leg. That may not seem like a big goal, but it is. I want to jog the whole 6.5 miles without walking. I have never jogged that far before. I am not close to being able to do it either. So. I think this sounds like a great goal. :) Plus, it will keep me motivated to exercise!!

Last week I started going to Mom's house most mornings to exercise. I went Monday Tuesday Wednesday, and took the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving. Then I went back yesterday (Monday). I took today off because Brody had his 6 month check up.

Here is what I did yesterday:

Total time: 35:15
Total distance: 2 miles
Total calories burned: 201
10 minute walking warm up @ 2.8 mph
3 minutes @ 4.0 mph (jog)
3 minutes @ 3.2 mph (walk)
3 minutes @ 4.2 mph (jog)
3 minutes @3.2 mph (walk)
repeat the last 2 three times.
Cool down walk.

Just a note:
3.2 mph = 18:45 mile time
4.0 mph = 15:00 mile time
4.2 mph = 14:17 mile time

Oktoberfest Half Marathon

I can't believe that I stopped posting the last 2 weeks of my training for the half marathon! I am so bummed I didn't record what I did.

When I went to check my time for the half marathon, I found out that my chip didn't work. So, I don't know my actual time, but here is my best guess based on the pictures (the estimate is from the time the race started, not when I actually crossed the start line):

Oktoberfest: October 2, 2010
3 hours 8 minutes
(Average of 14:35 per mile)
