Accomplishment!

Five Miles today! Definitely a milestone! I'm missing my running partner though :(

~AMH~

It's a day.

Ran 3 miles today...and feeling it in the muscles! Didn't have the normal warm-up time and I can feel the difference!

~AMH~

4 Miler!

aw yeah!

here's the shedj for this week (starting monday)

Stretch & Strengthen

3.5 m run

2 m run or cross

3.5 m run + strength

Rest

40 min cross

5 m run

Night run.

To run in all black in the middle of the night is pretty much asking for it right? That's why we wear reflectors at night, and maybe some white.... ;)

See ya in the morn!

1.5 miles to clear the mind....

--JB--

THREE MILER :)

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders, and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross"....."Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 'Make level paths for your feet,' so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.'"
Hebrews 12:1-2, 12-13

3 Miles Yesterday! God gave us the strength and grace to push through.

I used to think that if a person wanted to run a race, they could just go out there and run to build up mileage. However, I'm finding that if I don't have the proper form, I waste unnecessary energy and do damage to my knees. Who knew? I must strengthen my muscles to be able to run properly for an extended amount of time.

And then there were the distractions...100 football men come hollering onto the field in the middle of the track. I wanted to RUN AWAY and hide, rather than them see my attempt at running. Nevertheless, I pressed on.

We did it!

~AMH~

This week in Cross-Training...

Stretch & Strengthen

3 m run

2 m run or cross

3 m run + strength

Rest

30 min cross

4 m run

Mon-Sun

WTF!

I just ran three miles consecutively. So awesome! It feels great.

I also can't wait to hear Angela's rendition of our time at the track. I have not been near that much testosterone in quite some time. Ha!

Alrighty then!

So kickboxing coordination needs a bit of work!

Lord, teach us the meaning of cross-training!

Faith

Faith like a mustard seed. Don't let the mountains and obstacles distract you from the greater power, Christ! He is greater than our worries, fears, and hearts!

~AMH~

For us!

Pacing - A time for everything.

Knees - No more owies!

Eating - A simple outlook on what to eat.

Clothes - How to dress according to weather.

Our Day of Rest!!!!

Matthew 17

Went for a mile and a half run yesterday night to get the stress out.

Yes, it is exhilarating choosing to rejoice in the suffering.

--JB--

Eliptical. Nice on the Knees. And that's all I have to say!

~AMH~

The Freeman Center

2.2 miles on the treadmill is mentally stimulating.

And so are the Black-eyed Peas...."I gotta feeling... ooh ... oooh"

--JB--

2 Miles! It was beautiful this evening with the sun setting. My knees are continuing to hurt though, so I'm hoping soon I'll be able to figure out the source of the pain.

~AMH~

I gotta admit, I had my doubts about this morning. "2.5 miles today?" I thought to myself. And yet, aside from the knee pains, it was rather enjoyable and we did it!

~AMH~

2.5 miler!

Yeah! We did it!

The wind was against us and we ran up hills. I feel like a warrior!

Conversation also good.

Learned a few things about this journey OUT of dissociation too... so productivity reigns!!

--JB--

Beautiful walk today of 2 miles...I'll be getting back to running shortly!

~AMH~

Another 2 miler! Yay!

13 seems impossible to me right now, but then again so did 2 this morning.

Dissociation seems to ebb, flow and slosh everywhere, as if my mind is a jar full of water, when I try to push myself harder during the run. It's time to hit the showers I guess...

--JB--

run-run.

That was a mini-run, at a great pace, but short.

I WANT MY PARTNER BACK!! :)

I ran at the behest of my husband who literally commanded me out of my bed to go for a run.

I want to hibernate.

--JB--

Pretty scenery today...BUT, I shouldn't have drank a whole cup of coffee before the run. It swirled around in my belly, so I had to walk a lot, then run a little, then walk a lot....well, you get the idea!

TWO MILES NON-STOP!

Yeah!

That was AWESOME! I actually ran...

I am telling you, GOOD SLEEP and the right FOOD makes a HUGE difference.

Time to hit the showers and do this all over again in the morning.
