Hello! This is my running blog. I have started this blog because I am trying to raise $10,000 for a non-profit organization called Of One Heart. You can read my first post to hear more about this organization. This blog will just tell the story of my training and also of my fundraising. Thanks for reading!

This week in running...

Wow!  What a busy week!  Monday I took the day off running.  Tuesday was boot camp...we did a three mile tempo run in the "dungeon" - our underground parking ramp:)  It was actually just a little longer than 3 miles, my time was 27:40 - I was pretty excited with that.  That is a normal time for me - but lately I've been running slower - and I keep blaming it on the snow and slush - now I know that is probably what is slowing me down:)
Wednesday I could not wake up to my alarm!!!  One of those lazy mornings:(  Well, I felt REALLY guilty throughout the day because I did not work out, so I went home and busted out 5 miles on the treadmill...it was another great run - 51min, which is slow, but I always run slower on the treadmill for some reason.  It was such a great run - I watched Biggest Loser while I was running and that always helps:)
This morning I skipped boot camp (I'm starting to sound lazy huh?)  BUT - I don't work until 9am on Thursdays - so I slept in for an hour and still had enough time for 45min on the elliptical, 2.5min of planks, 3 sets of bicycles and 3 sets of push-ups.  It felt good, I was watching American Idol today as I worked out...I love this show!  And I love Steven Tyler as a judge!  I really like his personality:)
So tomorrow I am meeting with my uncle to pick up the Euchre Tournament fliers and tickets, so if you want to participate, email me at ofoneheart@hotmail.com - just $20 to participate, with 4 spots awarded and 3 50/50 raffles through the night:)  Well, tomorrow is another day off and then 14 miles on Saturday.  I am now starting to do 2 steps forward and 1 step back.  I will do 14 this weekend, then 16 the next, then 15 after that, then 17, 16, 18, 17, etc...  I like it this way because every other week is an "easy" week, something I have already done before.  Mentally it gives me a break - which is nice:)  Thanks for reading!
