Must Run Tomorrow...

Too many weekends of gluttony in a row... must run tomorrow. This is to serve as the motivation to get me to run tomorrow morning.
My brother got married this weekend at the lake and it was very fun. The outfit I wore was so freaking tight that it gave me a stomach ache. Sad.

The beginning

Hello ladies,
I ran 3 miles yesterday! It felt pretty good but it is still hard to imagine running much more. Plus, it was on the treadmill, in front of the tv.....I think I need to get myself outside. Ann, are you using this Hal Higden method? Do you like it? I need to find a program I can stick with.
Having dinner with your parents tonight---can't wait to hear the details about the new house, it sounds wonderful (walking distance to ice cream, namely).

Hi!

Hey guys, look at me....I'm blogging!! I'm feeling very motivating already just by typing. I haven't done anything much yet but I'm getting geared up for the exercise. And, by "geared" up, I mean that I want to go out and buy running clothes. Where are we running? Chicago? I'm up for anything. We can discuss in detail over Thanksgiving---not too far away actually!

My first run/walk

According to the Hal Higdon 5K training, I'm supposed to go for a long walk today - which I will do at lunch. Clearly my training program is more gradual than Corie's. Half marathons are sort of like long walks, right?

Corie's First Run

Hello Ladies!
I did my first run yesterday. It was a two mile run, interrupted by a visit to the pool to see Mike and Finn. So basically I ran 1 mile sat for 10 minutes and then ran the other! Pretty lame, but it was a challenge and I felt good when it was over.
