I gotta run...

I'm now into my third week of my running program and my times are slowly improving. The second week was a little tough b/c I was quite sore and my numbers reflected that. This week my long runs are getting faster and faster. Not sprinter fast, but faster for Kelly Bastian. I've lost a few pounds since I started which is a plus.

Jordan and I are off to run some errands and possibly do some Christmas shopping! Yes I know it's early but I love Christmas and I have a lot of people to buy for and I want to be ready. As much as I love Christmas time I hate shopping just as much. I'm rather have grab bags if I can stay out of the mall! Bah humbug to shopping. Well, I haven't seen any Christmas lists yet. What do people want this year? Any hints?

A long absence....

Yes, it's been awhile. My husband has been nudging me back to blogging. I suppose I'll start back today but I can't promise any frequency.

I've been working at a new running plan for the past two weeks. Jordan outlined this routine to me and I'm not going to admit that it is easy to follow. My legs and well honestly the rest of my body have been hurting quite a bit, but the payout is well worth the pain and fatigue. Here is the plan that I have been running:

Sunday- 5 mile run
Monday-1 hr cardio/abs
Tuesday-2 miles/abs
Wednesday-4 miles/abs
Thursday-Play volleyball
Friday-3 miles/abs
Saturday-DAY OFF

I'm working towards running a 1/2 Marathon next year. I haven't decided the race yet it is to be decided. I've completed 2 weeks of the program and the running will increase after 4 weeks. I have also been running with Jordan's watch and foot pod to help track my pace. It's interesting to see how slow/fast you go on a run. Well, time for dinner.
