Honey I’m home!

I need a plan

Went and ran this morning. Felt so good. I am running faster (4.5 today) but I still am not running as long. That is frustrating for me. I want to be able to run a 5K without stopping but currently there is just no way without me walking some. […]

Todays Observations

Ran 1 mile - slower in an effort to build my aerobic base and not work my heart anerobicly. Didn’t work. My heart rate was about the same as it was when I ran it faster. So… I’m perplexed. Why run slow when I […]

Parenting Memo to Hubby

Our goal as parents is not to just hit the minimum bar right? We aspire more for our children then […]

Not Rocket Science

Ok… just got back from my run. 3.1 miles (5K) in 49.03. I am giving up worrying about my heart rate for the time being. I don’t see that much of a difference between going slow and going faster… (faster being only a few points more but […]
