Run-walk

Our coach Barbara has us using this run-walk method: we run 4 minutes, speedwalk one. It's gotten me to eight miles, and I'm hoping to do TEN tomorrow! It's pretty cool: http://www.jeffgalloway.com/, if you're interested.

My team is pretty cool, too: we have about 25 people, if I had to estimate. It's strange being one of the "old" ones (like everyone else I know, they all ask me if I knew I look younger than I am :), but the girls--mostly, since it's the Nike women's marathon--are nice and supportive.

Oh, and Ben and I are hoping to make a vacation of sorts out of San Francisco! We've never been there, so we're both up for lots of suggestions (please comment).

Our team heroes

Run #2

My run last week went surprisingly well - we ran 8 miles, and I felt actually okay!! I hope this morning's run goes as well, though I'm worried. I didn't sleep much at all last night and am exhausted.

I'm trying to get this picture of our team heroes onto here, but it's not going well. I'll try a different method...
