Isaac: I want to kiss your open eye.

Me: No! Let me kiss your open eye.

Isaac: *shrug* ok

*my lips touching the eye lashes of his open eye* (I really thought he would close his eye!)

Me: Ewww you weirdo! You were gonna let me do it!

Isaac: Ok my turn!

W9D3

I am a graduate! On to OHR!

C25K W9D1

Holy Cow! I am in (on?) the home stretch! Sorry I have not updated, it has been a bit crazy. I really can not believe I am almost finished and that I can run 30 mins straight! My first mile I did in 13.48! My best time yet, I did push myself a little to hard the 1st half a mile but I recovered quickly. My next mile took my closer to 15. These last two weeks have NOT been easy. Physically I know I can do it, but it is a lot of mental games. I just have to push the negative thought out of my head and try to concentrate on my music or my breathing. I try out little mantras that seem to help a ton. Today's was "Why would you pick failure when success is an option." Last week was "I do today what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't." They seem silly but they really do help!

Anyone just starting C25K, the first few weeks my mantra was "There is nothing wrong with your lungs" and "Do not stop unless you are injured or puking."

C25K W8D1

Only 5 runs left! That is crazy! I can not believe a ran 2 miles today, I ran two, 14 min miles. I know that doesn't seem that great but, it is my best time yet! I got a chance to go to an actual running store on Sunday, they measure your gait and watch you run in different shoes to see what would work best for your foot. I picked out a pair of Asics, and my ankle pain is gone! They made for a really nice run this morning! I also finally got my new iPod. After dealing with apple I can say I will never buy a PC again. They were awesome. That will be a story for another day.

Now it is time to start thinking about whats next. I am not actually running a 5K, so I think I am going to start "One Hour Runner" it is another running program that gets you up to running for an entire hour instead of looking at distance like "Bridge to 10K." I haven't fully decided yet, I still have to do some more research. Anyone out there have any ideas?

C25K W7D3

Sorry I haven't updates but my runs haven't been anything special. I did have to delay a run by 1 day this week. I haven't had to do that since I started. I got up extra early, got dressed and had my earphone's in, but when I reached the end of my driveway it started DOWN-POURING! I didn't have enough time to get to the gym and still get to work on time so I ran the next morning. That has been my excitement of running.

I did notice that now that I have hit two miles my ankles have been killing me. I am planning on stopping my a running store tomorrow and getting fitted for some real running shoes!

C25K W7D1

Easy Peasy! We went and hiked around a state park all morning, so when it came time for my run my legs weren't near as chipper as they usually are. I decided to take it SLOW since we had been walking all morning, and when I mean slow i mean sllllooooooowwwwww. I usually finish 1 mile in a bit over 14 mins, today it took me 17. I was fine with that, I never got out of breath, my legs were getting a bit heavy at the end of the run but nothing I couldn't push through. Over all it was a good run! Can't wait for Tuesday!
