On my way

I did get out to run today.  I ran 2 miles towards my 26.2 miles for the month of April.  I may not get in another run until Monday.  I'm at the meet all day tomorrow and Sunday.  The way the sessions are broken up means I can't get away like I could today.  That's okay though.  I'll  get home Monday morning from taking Indy to the vet and head out for a run.

Right now I'm so tired from being on deck all day that I'm just going to head up to bed.  Tomorrow the only long distance is the 400 IMs.  200 Breast isn't until Sunday so it should go quickly tomorrow.  Although 200 Fly long course can get a bit long if there are a lot of novice swimmers doing it.

Oh well!  Good night!

April Challenge

The running program that I used to help me get back into shape was Running Mate 5k 101.  It's wonderful interval training.  I knew that's what I needed to do, but I didn't want to have to look at my watch.  Todd made it so easy. 

Well, they are having an April Challenge.  The Challenge is to run 26.2 miles in April.  Not all at once, but during the month.  I have decided to take that challenge on!  Now that it is warmer, I will be able to get out at 2-3 days a week for a run.  I start today.

I love running outside because I love looking at what's around me.  I love the fresh air.  I love the silence of my early morning runs.  It's just wonderful! 

For those of you interested in the 5k 101 program or the April challenge here is the Facebook page.

I challenge you to just get out and do something active each day.  You will feel so much better in the long run!
