Running, Jumping and Lifting Oh My

Thought I might give you an idea of my training each week.  Right now I am doing a combination of core, conditioning and lifting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  I usually do this along with my clients at 5:30 AM on those days.  I am also doing a thing called 5K101 training.  It is a run/walk combo based on time each work-out.  You warm-up and then walk for a certain number of minutes and run a certain number of minutes and then cool-down.  I am in week 7 right now.  Below is a snap shot of what to do.  It is an easy peezy way to run a 5K in a few short weeks.  I run on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

47 takes 15 not 5

As I started my work out today I realized something that really had not occurred to me before.  At the age of 47 it now takes me 15 minutes to warm up those legs of mine for my run.  In the past it took maybe 5 minutes to warm up.  Now my friends it takes 15.  15 long extra minutes.  The good thing is that I ran like a champ after that longer warm up.  Go me!

Will run for wine

Today was a great day as I was able to run with my most favorite running buddies in the whole world Runner Susan and Deana the Rabbit. We did the Grapevine Vineyard Run and it was awesome. It was a cool crisp morning which is for perfect for running, on purpose, no less!

I was a little concerned when we came around the corner of mile 2 and realized that a majority of mile 3 was UPHILL! That is just wrong on so many levels. The payoff was a dixie cup full of Merlot from Delany Vineyards so it wasn't all that bad.

My dear friend Runner Susan took some wonderful photos of us as well. I think we might have spent just as much time taking pictures of ourselves as we did running! I finished in 34 minutes 41 seconds which is slooooow, but it was a great run!
