Workout music

My SIL Jennifer had her favorite 10 new songs to run to on her blog.  I thought I’d do something similiar.  Here are my top (and first) ten songs on my workout play list. 
1.  I Know You Want Me – Pitbull
2.  Waking Up in Vegas – Katy Perry
3.  Hicktown – Jason Aldean
4.  Cheater, Cheater – Joey + Rory
5.  Rehab – [...]

60/365

*I apologize if you’ve read this post 3 times but I’m having some issues with WordPress tonight.  It won’t let me edit this post (and this post only) so I’ve been trying to get around that by deleting and re-posting. 
60 days ago I decided to try to workout every day.  So far, so good.  Don’t give me [...]

Boring

I am one run short of finishing my C25k program and I have to tell you, I am so bored.  Really, really bored.  I know it would help if I switched up my route but I like it.  It’s fairly flat and I’ve done it so much that I pretty much know where I am at [...]

Either you’re in or you’re out

I just started a new page on who is and who isn’t going to run the Sprint Thanksgiving Day 5k.  I’ll try to keep it updated.  As of today, 10 people are running and I haven’t heard from 17.

C25k

I finally ran this morning after taking last week off.  I don’t have any excuses for not running last week.  I just didn’t feel like it.  That’s all.  This morning felt great.  I did it all and didn’t curse running in general even once.  I’m going to run again tomorrow morning and then either Saturday [...]

Running (and) strollers

This week my C25K program had me running three 25 minute runs.  And they sucked.  My running felt so good until this week so it’s a little frustrating.  I can run 25 minutes w/o stopping.  I’ve done it in past weeks of this program but this week it was hard.  Like, I barely made it, [...]

40 minutes

Eric and I did the Mayor’s OP 5k Farmstead Stampede (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?) on Saturday morning with some friends.  I’m a little over halfway through with my Couch to 5k program so it was a great trial run.  I finished in 40 minutes, running 27 minutes and walking 13.  Not bad.  I don’t think [...]

Luke’s 1st Royals game

My dad was able to get us free tickets (and parking) to the Royals game today.  We had great seats which were 8 rows up from 3rd base.  Luke made it until the bottom of the 6th and then it was time to go.  It was beautiful out but a little hot. 
Luke and I in [...]

Couch to 5k update

I’m on my 9th week of running (which is week 5 of the program) and my running finally feels good.  I just did my second run of the week, which was a 5 minute warm up walk, 8 minute run, 5 minute walk, 8 minute run and finally a 5 minute cool down walk.  I know [...]

Modified resolution

After writing this post, both my SIL, Jennifer, and Illini Girl commented about the Couch to 5k program.  It’s a 9 week program that gets you ready to run a 5k.  I’m going to do it and run the Sprint Thanksgiving Day 5k that we do every year, except I’m going to modify it a little.  I think I’ll [...]

Failed New Year’s Resolution

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to run our church’s 5k.  I failed that one horribly.  Does it count that I walked it REALLY fast?
This weekend was our church’s celebration.  They really do a good job.  They have stuff going on starting Friday night and it ends on Sunday late afternoon with a carnival.  We [...]
