8 & Counting...

Oookkk I know I know.... I'm terrible at blogging.  I'm trying to be consistent... but life keeps getting in my way.
ANYWAY, let me give you a little update on my training.  My long runs on Sundays are up to 8 miles.  This Sunday I have 9 miles on the calender.  I've been doing most of my runs on treadmills.....Ugh.  I need to get off those things, but I have to either run in the AM before work & it's too cold to run OR I have to run after I get off work after 7PM and it's too dark out to run alone outside (esp. in this town.)  I think it's supposed to rain Sunday, so I may do my long run on Saturday outside - it's supposed to be about 45 I think, that'll be a good temp for a long run. 

Our 'team' (I think that's what I'll call the 3 of us running the half-mar...even though we all run at different speeds & will probably separate shortly after the gun.)...anyway- Our 'team' + my husband booked a hotel room in Dallas a couple days ago.  We're not going to rush back here after the race, we're staying an extra night to relax & celebrate!! We also just bought our bright pink shirts (in recognition of Susan G. Komen as the Official Charity of the Dallas Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon!

My running partner saw an Ortho Dr. today to get her knee looked at.  Hopefully, she's still able to run on March 14!  I'll let you know.  My shins are still bothering me just a little, not enough to stop running and it's not getting any worse.  I still ice them and use a foam roller after I run and that seems to help.

I'll be back!!
