Running

Ok so I have decided I am going to attempt the Omaha 1/2 Marathon in September. I did some reading and apparently you are supposed to be able to run 30 min w/o stopping before you can do the actual training.. So Last week I decided to hop on the treadmill and see what I could do, fairly confidant that I could do 30 min w/o stopping. WRONG. I was very disappointed, I can go for an hour on the elliptical and feel great, apparently that isn't good enough. So my 1st run was a 5 min run 2 min walk rinse, lather repeat. The very next day I decided that was ridiculous so I was going to try again this time 12 min 2 min walk, rinse, lather repeat. Then came time for running outside 1st time this year, and 1st time in a while. So I went to Holmes lake with My aunt Mary (avid runner) and my cousin and sister. Well my aunts version of running slow is about a 8 min mile. My version of running slow is a 12 min mile. (does anyone else see a problem here?) But we decided the dam is about a mile, and we did 2 miles in 24 min and that included a 2 min walk, so not the worst ever but not all that great either. So Sunday I decided to go for a run on my own. don't know how far it is, I am guessing 3.5 to 4 miles, I ran from perkins, at 17th, along 17th to hwy 2, picked up the bike trail and followed it to 27th street. Then turned north on 27th and took that to vandorn (only stopped to check the Ipod and walk from stockwell to bonacum) Then went from vandorn and headed back west down vandorn to 22nd street and winded though the neighbor hood back to my house. I was so happy with the run. even thought I am sure it was the slowest mile pace ever, I still did it with out stopping it took me about 40-45 min.

Ok so on other news, my sweet little boy is starting to get a sweet little attitude, and is telling me NO, or I don't want you to do that... and is becoming a little more than annoying. I know that it is the age and a phase but I don't know that I really like this behavior. I love the age that he is, he is getting into stuff figuring out how things work but does the attitude have to come with it? UGH...

Trying to think if I have any other great news. I have none that I can think of. Same ole stuff another day.
