Goal Type:

5 K Finish

Running Accomplishments:

I've run a few 5k's, 10k's and one 8k. Those have been in the last few years. I began walking seriously about 5 years ago and did really well, walking almost daily at least 3 or 4 miles and 6 miles once a week.

I have been active my entire life, playing tennis and teaching aerobics when I was younger. But have slowed down the last few months. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I would like to run a couple of 10k's and 5k's the summer of 2012. I want to do these with my family. I would like to run the 5k's in under 32 minutes.

Long-Term Running Goals:

To keep moving, walking and running 5-6 days a week.

Personal:

I'm a mother of 5. Grandmother of 2. Married!!! Acorn is my motivation for joining the blog. All my children are very active. I think we are all (including spouses) hoping to run a 5k together this year.

I walk/run with a friend of mine on Tuesday mornings. We have a 3 mile route that includes a pretty steep hill. We run about 1/2 mile to the hill. Walk up the hill as fast as possible, then we catch our breath and begin to run for about a mile. Then we walk down a short hill and run to the finish. I love that run because we also talk about all our frustrations and then they are gone!!! That's my report!!!! PS I love exclamation points!!!!

You've successfully completed your first entry. Nice 3 miles today! You've always been very enthusiastic!

I know you love exclamation points!! They are everywhere!! That sounds like a great walk/run. Exercise, socializing with a friend, hill work, and decent miles. What more could you ask for? Great job.

I was hoping to walk today after my meetings and before cooking class, but I got home too late, so I got on the elliptical at 9:55 and did a so so workout but got some miles in. Then I stretched for 15 minutes. My SI nerve is giving me fits today. But I just worked through it. Stretching helps and I start with a PT next week to help strengthen my core. I am glad to be able to post something today, and I made Honey-lime chicken Enchiladas in cooking class. It was a fun day.

Good job on the elliptical! Sorry you're still in pain, I hope the PT gets that fixed.

This morning I ran the 3 mile route with my friend. We jogged the whole thing except for the hill!! It was great weather. 37 degrees when we started out!! We ran for 40 minutes so I thought that was pretty good for me.

Osa Bear,

Yes. I am with ACorn and hope "Dad" catches up. I am really looking forward to reading a Race Report that includes all the family members.

More hills! I like the way you do a variety of activities (walk, run, power walk).

Osa Bear,

Hi.

Glad you enjoyed the walk.

But...did you have Cooking class tonight? What did you make if you did? Love to hear about that too!! I know...a running blog. But what you made last week sounded great.

Hope you are doing well.

Ran three miles this morning with a friend. (Walked the hill of course) Cold. Should have worn an extra layer.

Tonight did a quick 2 miles on the Elliptical. Hot. Should have opened the window.

Osa Bear,

Hi. He must be amazing to watch! I feel like I am flying when I do 1/4 mile repeats. And your son, he runs Easy pace at a quicker pace than I do my repeats. So to me - he has got serious speed! And he runs faster than many, many people!

Hope you are doing well.

Osa Bear,

Hi. Have no idea if you will see this. Just wanted to say hello! Have not heard from you. Hoping you are sticking to the walking/running...and COOKING! Often think of you. Be well.

From PRE on Fri, Mar 01, 2013 at 20:04:47 from 99.50.213.11

Osa Bear,

Hi. Hope all going well with you and your family. You'll have to tell me sometime who that is you are holding in your arms. Talk to you soon.
