Wow I haven't really had the chance to update this recently but here we go!!!!!!!!

So on Thursday Oct. 9th 2008 I went out for a run by myself since mouse couldn't go. Really wasn't a good idea since I started feeling sick and pretty much passed out on the field! Fun stuff hey! I think it was just a long day and I was pretty tired before I went on my run!! Anyways on Friday Robyn and I went out again I did about 15 min walking 30 min running and then another 15 min walking! That was a rough one my legs for some reason did not want to work on my walk home..painful!!! Anyways I haven't been getting out as much as I really should lately because of the holidays and the crappy weather, but I've realized the weather Is just going to get colder and wetter so I'll just have to deal with it! I'll be starting up again on Sunday!!!

Day 2

Week 1 - Tuesday, October 7th, 2008.

Getting a little more sore...

So I just got back from my second run of the week! I'm so proud of myself this time I did so much better! Almost barfed, but did much better! My legs are freaking killing me and I'm definately NOT looking forward to tomorrow morning but I feel great!!

Robyn and I went down to the track again but they were doing some lacrosse practice there so to save ourselves the embarrassment we just went up to the KVR field to run around that for about an hour...until Robyn decided to just do a bunch of kartwheels instead...awesome! 

Welll I ran back home by myself and man I sure didn't choose a very good street. It was the creepiest street I have ever been down at night in my life...Pitch black! I was about 98% sure I was going to get mugged and then die.

Anyways next time I will be choosing a more well lit route home! It gets dark way too fast!! 

Day 1

Week 1 : Sunday, October 5th, 2008.

So today was my first day of my marathon training!!!! It went pretty good I think! I walked down to the Pen Hi track and ran for about 45min. Now when I say ran I really mean walk/run/walk/run. It's been a LONG time since i've done any running so it was pretty painful near the end but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be!!

I'm really doing this because there is a marathon that I want to run in May 2009 in Vancouver. Running has always interested me so I finally decided to actually get out and do it! I'll be joining the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training and I'll be raising money for blood cancers! 

I'll be writing about my progress in this blog so check on it once in awhile if any of this interests you at all...or if you just want to read all about the pain and suffering i'll be enduring :)

              I've got 31 weeks left!!
