Week Eight - 7 Miles
What a day for me, Marie! Today was our 7 mile run and it was a beautiful, sunny morning! We met at the same location, Irvine Heritage Park. Just as we were getting use to the trail we've been running for the last 7 weeks, it changes on us. Since we are running longer miles our trail is now along the riverbed! Well I was alone this morning as some of my normal running buddies were not at practice. Pam has been in so much pain, it hurt her to walk. Cimone couldn't make practice, but was still able to run her miles by the beach.
I didn't do as well during my mid-week runs, so by today I was really struggling. I pushed and pushed through. About 2 1/2 miles through the run, our coach Paul along with his cute little boys were at the water stop with gatorade, water, pretzels, etc. He wasn't running this morning because he was going to be running the full LA Marathon the next day, but it was nice to see him at the water stop. I continue to run trying to keep up with some of my teammates and finally got to the turn around post! Oh I was so happy to see that mark! Our full marathoners were doing 10 miles that day, so some had to keep going for another mile and a half. As I turned around I waved goodbye to our full marathoners and encouraged them to keep going. I was so happy I heading back!
So again I pushed through the next 3 1/2 miles to get back to the park. I hit the finish line in
1 hour 25 minutes! I was so happy and so sore at the same time! Never would I have ever run 7 miles for fun! Another big mile accomplished! Donations are definitely worth it! I'm working hard for the money! Please support my efforts and DONATE TODAY!

Week 6 - 6 Miles!
March 13, 2010
We met at 7:00 am at Irvine Heritage Park. It was a gorgeous day in Irvine, Ca! We are so lucky to have such great weather and it should only get better from here! Our miles are going to be increasing and today was a split between the Full marathoners and the half marathoners. We had to run 6 miles, where the full marathoners ran their 8 miles!
We started the morning with announcements and was given an injury prevention clinic. This will be our last clinic of the season! They talked about buying and running with fuel belts, which I feel will bother me when I start running. I just don't think I can run with things around my waist, but I know it will be helpful in the longer miles! So I'll be going to Road Runners to check some out. After the clinic, we did our morning stretches and then we were off!
For me, Marie, was able to beat my time by 5 minutes. Last time we ran 6 miles in the pouring rain and took me 1 hr 15 mins. This time with the beautiful sunny skies, I came it at 1 hr 10 mins! I felt I had a good pace going on and was working on my breathing and posture! Found a friend that was at the same time pace as me and had a good time running with her.
Great job Pam and Ennis! Keep it up!
Beating my time is a great accomplishment! Help support my efforts! Donate today! Every little bit counts!

Week 5 - 60 Minutes Timed Run!
Oh what a beautiful day it was on Saturday, March 6th! Forecast predicted that there was going to be rain AGAIN this weekend! Well we just beat it! We started off the morning meeting at Irvine Heritage Park at 7:30am with all the different Team in Training teams (marathon, triathlon, and cycle teams)! We had our morning announcements along with a guest speaker telling us about his journey with cancer. What an amazing guy! It reminds us what we're doing with Team in Training is really making a difference!
So we were scheduled to do 60 mins timed run (30 mins. out, 30 mins back). For me, Marie, I can already feel a difference in my running. My strides, my muscles, my endurance is really building! I've never been a runner in my life, so this is a HUGE accomplishment for me. I just try and remind myself why I am really do this. I'm doing this for those who are battling cancer, especially for my mother.
There was no rain in site while we were out for our run and I accomplished 5 1/2 miles in the 60 minutes we were running. Now that deserves some donations! Don't you think!?! Donate today, $5. $10, $15! It doesn't take much! Check back weekly!

Week 4 - Six Miles!
Well...we made it through the storm (literally)! Mother nature was not our friend this past weekend, but we pushed through it and completed our 6 miles! It was raining so hard and the wind was out of control. Miles 1 to 3 were like taking a shower with our clothes on (LOL), miles 3 -6 the rain stopped, but running in soaking wet clothes and shoes was not easy! Through it all, we completed strong. One step closer to 13.1 miles...woo hoo!
