Thanks for setting this up, Linds! I'm excited to see what everyone else is doing in terms of training. I woke up this morning feeling tired and cranky. Katie has been sick and Gold's Gym won't let me leave her there while I workout. Most of the summer has been plagued with sickness at our house. Seems like there hasn't been one week without SOMEONE not feeling well. So, my working out has suffered and I thought that today would be the same. Jake came home this morning to do his workout and decided to take Brooke and Katie to work with him for a while so that I could do something. Since it was raining, I went to the gym and did 5.2 miles on the elliptical. It felt really good to do it! And, was totally mood-altering for me (it's been a MUCH better afternoon than it was morning!).
For the most part, my training schedule goes by how long (in terms of time) I should run instead of how far. So, tomorrow's plan was to run for 30 minutes. Should I be shooting for a certain distance instead? I'm new to all this training...so please let me know what you think works best or if it even matters...
Rebecca, I'll be thinking of a nickname for you.....maybe lean, mean running machine!? ;)
Looking forward to the journey...

Time is a good way of doing it. Sometimes I do my long runs in time and not miles, especially if I'm out of town. After a while you'll realize your pace and kind of just know how far you are going. I also use the same playlists for certain distances/times so that I can say, well I know that I'm usually here at 6 miles so this should be close.
