Fun In The Sun Run

I just finished up running with Erica this afternoon.  She is thinking she wants to start running - and I hope that she enjoys it enough to continue to do it.  Since Erica has not been running for about 4 years, we started from ground zero.  Here is what we did...

Walk 3 Minutes
Jog 4 Minutes

And repeated this 4 times.  So we went for about a 30 minute workout.  And then of course had to climb Mt. Everest to get back to our house...Erica was not happy finishing the workout walking up the hill.
She is going to be really sore - but did a great job for her first time out in a long time

We Can Go All The Way, Baby!

I ran 6 miles on Monday.  It was really hot and humid so it was a tough run.  I have a hard time breathing when it is so humid out.  However, there were a couple hills involved and I ran one hill twice, sprinting as fast I could the second time to beat my first time up the hill.  I beat my first time significantly.  Just trying to build up some endurance. I didn't have a playlist - had a running partner and we talked.  I didn't run on Wednesday, but did a strength training/cardio class at the YMCA.  I must say I was not motivated by the playlist during that class - not a good one. Today would be another running day for me, but I am at home with a diarrhea baby while all the rest of the family went to Valleyfair.  Running not going to be an option today.  I am definitely going to try to go tomorrow.  So far the farthest I have run is 8 miles.  I need to try a 10 ASAP.  ~ Lori ~

Aaron's First Run In New York

So I have not ran since '65 - And it really hurt.  Not to mention I live on the top of a mountain...and trying to finish my run going up a mountain SUCKS.  And no, I didn't make it all the way up...I had to walk the last 1/2 of it.  None the less, I made it about 20 minutes without having a heart attack.  I do believe I can still go far in 2012.

Here were my vitals:
20 Minutes -

And most importantly, my playlist:
