I took a break from my blogging last week and took my kids to York Beach, Maine! I love that place. It just reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to go up there to Goldenrod for their delicious taffy. It was a good time had by all...I had to drag the kids home.
I still got my jogging in on Tuesday before heading up to the beach and then my sister in law and I took the chance to get out and jog along the beach on Thursday. On Saturday, I managed to pull myself out of bed for a 4.22 mile jog/walk.
On Sunday, I had the chance to meet 8 fellow Team AllEars members for a BBQ on the beach! It was great to meet some of the team members face to face! A few of us went for a jog/walk (5.18 more miles for me!). As my son so eloquently put it "mom, they make your knowledge of Disney look pathetic." Well, I guess I am in the right group...they can help me increase my running and my Disney knowledge : ). It was great to put faces with names. It is somewhat strange that I feel like I already knew them in some respects. Thanks Mandy and Nick for having us!
It is supposed to be hot an muggy in my area tomorrow and I hope I can at least get out to walk for 30 minutes tomorrow after work.

Until next time...
Chronicling the slow and stead progress of an unnatural runner. I hope you find it informational, amusing and uplifting.

Am I going to be able to keep this up?
Well, I have managed to keep up some semblance of training over the past month. I have forced myself out of bed early on Saturday mornings to get the jogging in before I can think about what I am doing. The good news is that I have increased my endurance...the bad news is that I am trying to follow the run/walk/run strategy and I keep forgetting to walk when I am supposed to walk! At first blush, you may applaud my running efforts, however, I am still a non-runner and an uncoordinated one at that. I should be doing all I can do to avoid injury and fatigue, which will just lead me down the road to giving up and slacking. I have never run a race over 3.5 miles, so if I tire at that point, I am cooked!
Tomorrow is my "long run" day. I hope to get 4 miles under my belt and not care about pacing at this point. I have 6 months until the Half Marathon...I have to be the little engine that could...I think I can, I think I can.
