Still Running March 20, 2008

Are you ready mom? We have a week and 2 days until we run the ING Half Marathon together. Yep, 13.1 miles. Thats a loooong way. Luckily we both have done this before…unfortunately we have both done this before I think we have a little to much confidence! Our goal is to shave 27 minutes off of our January Disney Half Marathon time. Can we do it? Yes we can! I will make sure to pack our favorite sport beans from Jelly Belly. They have a new pink one out! These look like ordinary Jelly Beans but actually have many of the same ingredients in them that sports drinks do that refuel your body. I can’t stand to drink those sugary sports drinks…but I don’t mind popping a jelly bean in my mouth.

While I love training with my Garmin, I also like to use a site called Run.com. Visit Run.com to map out a run in your own neighborhood. You just click along your route and it calculates how many miles you will run. This site is really handy if you are on vacation…you have no excuse not to run! My next scheduled race after the ING is the Peachtree Roadrace on July 4th. I am running this with 4 other girls from work. So…Kathy, Beth, Cindy, and Kristi…go to run.com and start mapping out your training runs!

Wish us luck next week!!
