Well I booked the hotel for my half marathon. We belong to a time share that book 11 months in advance and to get the room we wanted we kind of had to book it as soon as it became available. So We are almost a year away from the Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disneyland but my room is booked. *GULP* A friend of mine posted that she did her first 10K today and she did it in like an hour! I would love to have 10 min miles. If I could get 10 min miles down then I could do my half marathon in a little over 2 hours. I can officially register on Aug 6th. Scared out of my mind but also SUPER excited. The excitement of completing this is out weighs the fear. www.rundisney.com has a training calendar for beginner runners who have been running less than 6 months and right now that is me. It is similar to the C25K as it is only 3 days a week but every other weekend you have a pretty long run. I told my BFF after a certain point we may have to start meeting up and running on the weekends. She thinks it may interfere w/ her bike ride time if she is going to do the STP again next year. I think she will rock the STP this year and realize that it is easier than she thought because she has had all the saddle time she needs to do it. Plus the Tinker Bell Half is in May so a whole 2 months before the STP so she will be fine. However I have promised to participate in that next year if she does this with me. So we will see if she does it again I will also be trying to get saddle time in. If this is the case I will have no choice but to become a morning person so I can get my run done & then go for rides in the afternoons.
Tomorrow is Week 6 Day 2 of my C25K and it is the one where they have me running for 10 mins. Then Day 3 is the day they expect me to run for 25 mins. I have yet to do this even though I was suppose to for Week 5 Day 3, because we did a 5K instead and then I didn't Run for 3 days and we walked the 5K so I that is when I did my fastest mile yet it was still not running for a straight 25 mins. I am curious to see how far I will be able to go in the time.
Oh! And I have something random and exciting to share. I was doing allot of house cleaning, like deep cleaning, we're talking picking up and moving furniture cleaning. Anyways it wasn't very long ago that cleaning would cause me to have pain in my hips and I am extremely pleased to report that I HAVE NO HIP PAIN!!! I always knew the hip pain was related to my weight and even though I haven't lost that much yet it is enough that I am noticing a lack of pain. :-D
