Roll Call

I'm still planning to run the 5K in Provo next July 4th. I want to know how many people are still planning on running with me. I know I haven't been posting regularly, but that is going to change. I finally hit my first major goal last month. For the first time in over 25 years the scale is under 200 lbs. I started working out on the treadmill at the rec center. I like knowing how fast I am walking. And I started adding some very slow jogging. I have a heart rate monitor to keep track of how high my heart beats. And I can get it up to 170 when I jog for 60 seconds. So I'm only during about 3 intervals jogging. But I am finding out that it is quite the high just to be able to do it at all.

So now I'm doing some serious 5K training. Any of you got some wonderful advice for me? Please share.

  4. Well I was planning on being there...I probably still can...however right now I am not feeling so hot. I have 10 weeks to go before I have this baby, and I had to go in to the hospital last night to get that shot to make the contractions stop, I also have a UTI infection, so I am going to take it easy for now, but let me wait and see how I feel in March after I have this baby.
