Joel and Olivia week of 6/23

So we are justing getting going on this whole running thing.  We have gone a couple of times before this week.  I am definitely struggling...but am hopeful that I with be able to do this.  

If anything this goal along with the free gym membership are helping us to get in shape.

This blog this will definitely help with accountability!

Saturday 6/28 Joel and I ran 2 miles (I had to stop and walk a bit) then walked 1 more mile 

Sunday 6/29 we walked 1 mile

Monday 6/30 Joel's knee is hurting a lot so he is icing and taking the day off.  I ran/walked 2 miles on the treadmill.  

A few questions for the more experienced runners:

Any tips for not getting side cramps?

Also when I am running on the treadmill I can take my heart rate and it is WAY to high, am I pushing to hard... or just seriously out of shape?  Do I need to start walking for a few minutes first?  

Daddy did you ever send us that watch?

Lacey's Entry for week of 6/23

Here's how it will work; please log in every weekend (either Saturday or Sunday) and log what you have done for the week. Here is what I have done so far this week as an example:

Sunday: Ran 5 miles
Wednesday: Ran 3 miles

Make sense? If you don't go out and post by 10:00pm on Sunday I will hound you until you do. This is meant to help us to be accountable for training and help us to feel like we are training together even though we can't physically be together.

Love ya!
Lacey
