5.28.09 = 5.5 mile run

I got a cryptic message on facebook for more information on this 5.5 mile run. :) Kati and I have been running for several months and we hit 5.5 miles on thursday of this week! My knees were a little mad at me thursday night and friday morning...but they feel great now. Nothing a little rest didn't help with.

The speed demon: Kati made a work out mix on her ipod which she hasn't had in the past...just listening to anything and everything. I kept bugging her to make one, but I think finding the time was the problem. She did and that very night I had to yell at her to slow down b/c apparently some up beat tunes really make her run faster! :) I have had a running mix all along, and definitely find myself slowing down/speeding up with the speed of the music.

The plan is to do a half marathon in November of this year. Typing it on this blog makes it official...so no backing out now! :) Johnny has been researching training schedules (he's in a our running club too...just not every time we go) and we have picked one that we are changing up a bit...and will start doing it probably this next week. Bryan and I ran with Kati and Johnny saturday morning...but this is what it looked like: Amy, Kati and Johnny jogging together and Bryan running out of sight, running 1 mile farther than us AND beating us back to the car. We are going to let him still be in our club b/c I love him and he'll be my husband in October...otherwise we would boot him out for being in ridiculous shape and running too fast.

I am a little scared of this summer heat and how this will change our running plans. But the plan is to go either early in the morning or late in the evening so that none of us pass out. I also ordered a belt that holds two water bottles...apparently I will be hydrating everyone in the group...if they are nice to me.

PS We jogged 5.5 miles, but I like to say run b/c it just sounds better! :)
