Lacey - week of 6/30

Hi everyone! I hope you had a good 4th of July! Here is my entry for this past week:

7/1: ran 4 miles
7/2: played 60 minutes of tennis
7/3: ran 2.5 miles pushing Melody
7/5: ran 5 miles in the heat and wind. It was definitely a very hard run, but felt great when I finished.

OJ, to answer your question about the side aches. The way to get rid of the side aches is through your breathing. If you concentrate on breathing and make sure you are exhaling it should help. I know you have asked me to help you with your breathing, so let's try to run together sometime soon. Even if it's just for a mile or so.

Everyone, we only have 10 weeks of training left, so let's try to help each other out and make sure we are training as much as possible. Even if you can get out and bike a little (for those who are injured) that will help as well. If you start out with short distances, you'll be surprised at how much endurance you can build and little by little you can start adding more distance.

We can do it!!! Imagine how amazing it will feel when we all finish! Please keep logging your training on this blog, so that we can help each other out. Have a great rest of your weekend.

I love you all!
