HMTT Wk 3

I missed week 2 so that I could properly celebrate Hils' Bachelorette Party in the OBX. I'd love to tell you that I ran while I was down there...I did bring my running stuff but that's as far as I got :)

So Week 3 was 4 miles. I came decked out in my new sunglasses - which I didn't need and my running belt - which I did. All in all it was a great run. 4 miles in 42 minutes. I started off a little slow but after the second mile I really felt like I was getting in to gear.

This is right at the end with Michelle, a lovely 2nd resident at VCU I met on the run

Still having some trouble with my IT band on my left side. Evan (THE trainer) is helping me work through it. It's a pain in the tail for sure. 

Katie has joined the HMTT group too! LOVE having her there though her 8:30/mile means I don't see her a lot ;)

Until next week my friends!

HMTT Begins! Week 1

It's my favorite time of year...not only is football season about to start which really means tailgating (who watches the game anyway!), but it's also Half Marathon Training Team time. I loved my experience so much last year. I met two great ladies: Jillian and Kendra and you'll see them throughout my journey this year as well.

Week 1 was 3 miles. Sounds so easy with all my training! However, the sun was BEATING down on us. The running wasn't the hard part - it was the heat. But we made it through to run another day.

Help me understand why the shutter always goes go when you look like you could be fast walking rather than the Kenyan like sprint you actually were....Things to ponder.
