Completed my 5K!

This week went pretty well.  I having been running 3 days a week, and I added a 3 mile walk as well.  I know the training schedules I have suggest running 4 times, but I don't like running 2 days in a rowso for now I will add a walk.  

monday: 3 miles run

Wednesday: 3 miles run

Friday: 3 mile walk

Saturday: 5k race at Lumberjack Days in Stillwater, finished in 33:07

I am hoping to get up to 5 miles comfortably this week.  Lacey and Tahnee, do you want to go running together on friday or saturday?  Let me know so I can plan my running schedule this week around our run.  

Also I am looking at possibly doing a 15k (9.3 miles) in Chisago on saturday August 23.  It is a run/walk.  That is 4 weeks away and  3 weeks before the half marathon.  Anyone else interested?  The cost is $20, or $25 on the race day.

Joel is still having issues with his knee.  He is hoping to go to the doctor this week.  He still really wants to do the half marathon and thinks he could do it as long as he doesn't have a serious injury.  We will keep you posted on his participation in the event.  He did walk the 5k on saturday with our friends mom.  I am proud of him for walking, even though I know he wanted to run, but a lot of the race was downhill and that is really hard on his knee.

Well, I love you all and look forward to hearing how your training is going.  

Love,

OJ
