A New Plan

I haven't been updating the blog for a while.  I have been running but I did not have a plan.  I was running aimlessly.

Yesterday I signed up for the Mo Cowbell Half Marathon.  Now I have a goal.  I have a plan.  I have something to blog about.  I downloaded a plan from the Mo Cowbell Website.  I am going to use it with some modifications.  It is a 12 week plan.  It is only 6 weeks until the race.  I feel I have enough miles on my legs to jump into the plan midway.

Yesterday I ran the I Love Forest Park 5K with Jen and Willow.  We took turns pushing the stroller.  My plan was to stay with Jen and Willow.  It is amazing how enjoyable a 5K is when you aren't trying to kill yourself by running as fast as you can.  It was my first race pushing a stroller.  You have to remember to not get close to the person in front of you so you don't run them over.  I am proud to say I didn't run anyone over.  After the race we watched the kids race.  It is always so much fun to watch kids run.  A girl came in first.  After that I had to love on Willow.

When I got home I went to the trail and ran 6 slow, hot, miserable miles.  By then the heat index was 100.  I don't know what I was thinking.  Jim considered going with me for a few minutes then decided not to.

Tonight I went to the trail and ran another 6 slow, hot, miserable miles.  I have a meeting tomorrow night so I wanted to get some miles in tonight.
