Not ready to run yet--just did the stairmaster today. Stairs are getting easier, though!

I actually felt a lot better than expected today! I did 5 miles with Julie, and she was really ready to do a faster pace than I was. We ended up just a little slower than our marathon pace. And afterwards my soreness was pretty much gone! Yay!

Staimaster again today--I want to start doing an embedded circuit weight program on Wednesdays and Fridays, with 2 miles slow to warm up, then weights combined with aerobic activities like jump roping to keep my heart rate up, with the circuit weight part being about 20 minutes. Then another slow 2 miles. I tried it today with the stairmaster instead of running, because I want to add my miles gradually and I haven't ever run on Wednesdays. In a couple weeks I should be able to add the running.

Still taking it easy--or trying, anyway! It is hard to have the discipline to slow down!

Julie and I did about 10 miles. We tried doing a warm-up of two miles, then two miles at our current marathon pace, 8.5 minute miles. Then we tried two miles at our goal pace of 8 minute miles, and ended up doing three--since we were coming down a hill anyway. Then we cooled down with a slower pace. It feels good to be running even 10 miles a week after Ogden!
