Arrangements for the actual weekend?!?!?

So I was just thinking about our plans for the actual weekend of this run.... Where are we planning on staying?! I think we should look into getting hotel rooms or a cabin or something. The run is pretty early in the AM and I don't think we will all want to drive from Rapid. Just assuming... I can make the reservations if people will tell me their ideas. Help me out here crew! We need to make some arrangements soon if we are going to stay in or around Spearfish. I hope everyone is keeping on track with their running... I know I have slacked off lately but I am back at it again! Love ya guys! Keep on trucking!

I'm so sick of running already and I feel like I haven't gotten any better! Argh!

5K Update

Whoa! I've been bragging that I finished my 5K in 28 minutes, but luckily my estimate wasn't too far off. (Gee, maybe they could have gotten the results up earlier!)

I ran my first 5K in 0:30:00 and finished in 50th place (out of 113). Not half bad, right?

*Smiley face*

I hope you are all doing well. Miss you!

5K on Friday!

Here's to hoping for good weather on Friday night! I'm running the Brookings 5K, which starts at 6:00 p.m. (Anyone interested in dinner afterwards?)

This week, I've been running randomly around my neighborhood. And without glasses, which is always interesting! I think I better put in my old contacts for the races :)

2.6 miles on Sunday and 2.65 miles on Tuesday. Hoping for a 3.1 miler tonight after work, then resting Thursday.

Catch ya later!

Fact!

Here is a fun / gross fact: 

I work grounds crew and get pretty dirty during the day.  I also get an hour lunch.  So I decided I would run during my lunch hour to either complete my workout for the day or cut my later workout in half.  

Today I did hills for 30 minutes.  A bonus about working out over the noon hour is that I cannot stop running because I want to finish the timed workout. 

Break time

So I will admit that I have not ran for over a week now... I have been a pretty sick girl. I work the next two night shifts and then I plan on hitting it hard on my days off. Being still sick has held me back, but I plan on getting back on the running soon. My poor chest still can't handle it. I am dreading my first run back because I know it will be so hard.... Keep on trucking right!?

Mel was here for a visit Thursday night and Friday. We had a great time :) We were discussing plans for where we should stay the night before and after the run.... Any suggestions? Do you guys want to just stay in Spearfish those nights?
