Ugh the pain and suffering

Well there is something else wrong with my right foot now and it is sending shooting pain up into my leg every time I run or go up stairs. So hopefully this gets better by the race or I might not be able to do it. I am going to try to cross train this week and ice and stretch like crazy!

Monday: 5K and 3 mile walk with a friend later
Wednesday: 4 mile run
Saturday: 3.1 miles, I was going to go for 6 miles but I had to stop halfway because of the excruciating pain in my foot

Keep running! I will keep you posted on my foot. Hope you all have a good week, can't wait to see you this weekend!

Lacey's Entry - 1 week to go!

Hello!

I got 4 runs in this week, but haven't been getting through them as easily as I have been. I hope that I feel a little better this week. I do remember from when I was in cross-country that often after running for many weeks you will hit a wall where you have a week or two that is much harder for you. I'm hoping that is all this is. Anyways, here are my runs:

Monday: 3.5 miles (pushing Melody)
Tuesday: 4.5 miles
Friday: 1.5 mile warm-up, 20 minutes of ladders (sprints that daddy told me about) Definitely a VERY hard work-out
Saturday: 7 miles

I can't wait to see you all next weekend!

2 weeks left!

I took most of this week off to recover from the 15k.

Thursday: I ran 3 miles, biked 3 miles and swam 20 laps
Saturday: Joel and I canoed down the St. Croix for 3 hours
Monday: We ran a Lifetime Fitness 5K at Minnehaha Falls, and I will be going for a walk with a friend this afternoon.

Joel has been stretching and doing exercised to help his knees. He ran 2 miles on thursday, canoed with me on saturday and ran the 5K plus another mile or two... the 5K wasn't very well marked so the group he was running with got a bit lost!

Keep training! We are getting so close so don't stop now!!
Love

Lacey's Entry - Not my best week =(

Hi all!

Here are my runs for the week:

Tuesday: 5 miles
Thursday: 10 mile run, 2.5 mile walk

My long run went OK, but I ran with someone and we started off too fast. My goal was to run 11 or 12, but we could only make it 10. Overall, it was OK.

Sat. and Sun. I was sick with the flu, so couldn't run. I'm feeling somewhat better today, so hope to get out for a 3-4 miles run this afternoon. I can't believe we only have 2 weeks left!

Slow week

Hey all! I had a bit of a slow week getting back into it after our race. This next week should be better. Hope everyone is doing well.

Friday- 2 miles

Sat- 15 mile bike ride

Only 3 weeks left, actually only 19 days!

Hello all!
Good news, Joel was able to transfer his 1/2 marathon registration into the 5K, so he will be able to do a race with us.
I am still a bit stiff from the 15K but I am so glad that we did it! I am taking the first part of this week easy to let my body recover. Hopefully I will be able to run again by the weekend.

Last week
wed: 3.5 mile run
thur: 3 mile walk pushing baby in stroller
Sat: 15K!!
Sun: 1 mile walk and lots of stretching

Love you all
OJ
