Well a couple of weeks ago someone said to me that when I get their age I will want to just stay home and watch t.v. That hit me and I thought, no freakin way. So at that point I decided I wanted to do something. I like to bike but I feel so guilty when I am away from Kolbie because Bruce trains so hard I feel one of us needs to be with him. I don't want someone else raising my child. Anyway Kolbie and I decided that we would start running. I have found a local 10k here in July and we have set our sites on that. Well this week I have been starting to train. Kolbie has not felt so well. I didn't realize just by walking how much better I would feel. Before Kolbie came along I stayed in the gym. I loved it and it brought that feeling back these past few weeks. Bruce and I have been doing some strength training at home and that has been nice too. Although he kicks my butt. I think we may venture back into the gym come April though. I will be easier and we will have more there. I will be able to cross train on the spin bikes too.
Anyway the Peach Festival here in July has a 10k, 5k, and 1 mile. I think Kolbie will shoot for the 1 mile and I will shoot for the 10k. I started out walking for the last couple of weeks and am gonna finish that this week. Next week I will start a training program that I found in RUNNER'S WORLD for 8 weeks and then I am gonna do another 8 week program from TRAINING PEAKS that will lead me straight to the 10k. I am bound to stick with this and finish this 10k. I want to accomplish this. It will give me a since of "HECK NO I WON'T BE LIKE YOU" and it will be healthy for me and for Kolbie to.
This will be my first goal. I will finish even if I have to walk across the line and then I will set my sites on to Atlanta (maybe).
Stay tuned.
