July 29-4

So for some reason - my lazy self didn't get out of bed and run once this week. I can make excuses: I had cramps, headaches, wasn't sleeping... but, they are just excuses. I'm annoyed and bummed because I was doing so well and finally getting into a routine. However, week is over and no runs = ZERO miles = major fail

13.1

I can officially buy one of those bumper stickers for my car now! :-P

13.1, baby!

I, Julie Layne, RAN a half marathon!!

2:24!

The duck is our 'finisher medal'

July 22-28

For the week of July 22-28 I did amazing! I woke up between 4 and 420 every day and went for a run. Monday - I woke up and heard major thunder and thought 'sweet, i'm going back to bed!' Then I realized, No, not an excuse - so I drug my tired self to the gym! 5 miles! Tuesday - I woke up early and was on the trail at 5 am. I started with my headlamp (but in my hand) and loved watch the animals and the light come out. It was great! 6 miles! Wednesday - 6 more trail miles Thursday - I'd managed to convince a friend to go run w/me. We tried to meet at the Hatchery but apparently the parking lot isn't open that early! So we went back to the place I normally run. 6 miles! Friday - was a rest day! However, I worked 8-5, and 5:20-12:30. so I'm not sure how much REST I got! I felt GREAT! It was amazing to get into a routine of running every morning. My body was getting used to running again and I was enjoying it!
