MAD CHAOS

I ran about 4 miles today and did strength training last night. It makes me sick that we are so close! I have been moving models and offices this week! I am off tomorrow so I want to get a long run in! Are you going to do an 10K? I still can't imagine that I will be able to run 13 miles! I have to go to the Track Shack and have them look at my feet and blisters! I HAVE NOT HAD EMAIL, PHONE, FAX, OR INTERNET THIS WEEK...I AM COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED TO THE WORLD...SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY ON POSTING. I WILL BE OFF TOMORROW THRU WEEKEND!!!

ONE MONTH

We are officially one month away! I had to take a break yesterday because of all the running I did this weekend. I'm running 4.5 tonight, might do a little strength training if I feel like it. I can't believe we are almost there. Keep it up!

7 MILES!

I ran 7.1 miles today! I am so proud of myself...I consider this a huge milestone and I am just so happy that I know that I did it...I ran the whole thing in 1:25...I am going to post the run that I ran...but I am DYING ALREADY...my legs, body and everything just HURTS. Nick and I also did 1 1/2 hours of yoga last night...it is amazing how strong and flexible my body has gotten in this time period! Having strength training tomorrow....about to do some yoga moves and go to bed! YAY!!!! I MADE IT HALFWAY...I CAN SEE THE GREEN LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL!! NOT MUCH TIME TO TRAIN!!!

Chrissy: My knees and ankles are killing me! I ran 7 miles yesterday!! Well, a little over 7 actually and ran 5 mils today! I feel that running over 6 was my milestone, so now I'm not so worried about the 13.1. I still just can't imagine running for over 2 hours! I really didn't drink that much all weekend which really helped with the running, so how I've figured out how to keep up this training. I'll be glad when this is over, but it is fun!

Running...

Well I don't have too much news to update...I did run on this amazing running/biking path. I think I might have been the only one in Birmingham who didn't know this place actually existed! I need to find a 10K to run...I ran 5 miles yesterday and today had about an easy 25 min. jog...I already have my blisters back in full force. Are you still getting them?

Chrissy: I still haven't figured out how I'm going to run 13.1 miles, but whatever! I'm still on track, did stretch and strength Monday, ran 4.5 yesterday, and doing cross today. I probably wont do a 10K, but there is a 5 mile run coming up in a few weeks Imight do. It's pretty cheap and right by where I live. Keep trucking away, it will be here before you know it!

Ellen's Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...so...it was a start...2.5 miles!!! I am just now getting back in the swing of things...I think I do a little better for the sheer fact that we only have 39 days! I HAVE TO GET MY BUTT IN GEAR...NO EXCUSES!!! I am crazy at work, but I ended up having a good week and got a new contract and another one that I thought had burned to ashes... let me just tell you how out of shape I am...I think I might have ran 2.5 miles and was hurting. I am now back on same calendar day as you... so I am actually going to do a lot of stretching tomorrow and do 4.5 mile run. I got Max to download a bunch of songs onto my I-Tunes so I have some more variety which will definately help! Are you going to run a 10K? I guess I need to look and see if they're any in B'ham. Anyway, you can see me from now on the blog until the big day! I was thinking about it...are we going to have Nick and Jordan carry us to Dave Mathews afterwards?
