Week Twelve

I can't even believe we are on weeke 12! It seems so long ago when we started with this team! Today I, Marie, ran 9 miles at 7 am! We met at a new location at Hick's Canyon Park in Irvine! I would have to say that this has been my best week thus far! David just bought me a Garmin, which is this really cool watch! It calculates pace, distance, miles, calories, etc. The cool thing I used it for at practice was running at a 5:1 interval. 5 minutes running and then 1 minute walking. It definitely gave me a lot more energy! It would alert me when it was time to walk for one minute and then run again for five. I ran with my buddies Jenee and Mindie and we did so great! Although, the last 3 miles was a killer! We kept eachother motivated the whole time! The course was pretty tough because half of the course was up hill! I hate hills, but its great for training! Oh and the weather was so beautiful!

Next week 10 miles! Here we go!

Week 11- 90 minute timed run

So this Saturday was our 90 minute timed run (45 minutes out, 45 minutes back). We had three locations to choose from this week: Yorba Linda Regional Park, Hunington Beach, and Laguna. I chose to run with a beautiful scenery in Hunington Beach! There were only a few of us there, so I thought that I would just run by myself because everyone had a different pace. Our starting line was at Lake Park off 11th Street and Main. We're off running on Main, cross over to the beach and run on PCH the whole way. As I was running I found 4 girls that I thought were running the same pace as I, which is about 11-12 minute mile. I tried to keep up with them so I had people to run with. They were running a 5:1, which is 5 minutes running and 1 minute walk. Well I loved it! I usually just try to run the whole way, but I found this to be even better. They all had watches that give you your time, pace, and miles. So not only did I have more energy, but I found out that we were running a 10:37 minute mile! Now that's fast for me!

So in 45 minutes, I ran 3.75 miles and then turned around and headed back to the park! I finished 7.5 miles in 1hr 30 mins! I'm working hard! Now let's donate!

Week 10 - 7 Miles

So I, Marie, missed week 9 because I took a little mini vacay to DC, NY, and Philly with my husband. It definitely gave me a chance to rest my legs and body from all the weeks of running.

So week 10- we met at our usual location in Irvine. The half marathoners were scheduled to do 7 miles! I ran with my buddy, Jenee Jimenez and felt really strong. I was really nervous coming back for my run because I didn't run for a whole week while I was on vacation. So doing 7 miles was scary! To my surprise, I felt really good and strong! I shocked myself how good I felt! It most likely was because I rested for the full week! What a difference it made!
