Track Workouts

Today, Erik and I went to our weekly track workout at Kezar track in SF. We do this every  Wednesday with our team and our coach. The coach gives us a workout to do and we all do it at our own pace.

Today was running 4x800 so that means we ran 4 800's (2 laps around the track) with a recovery lap in between. It wasn't too hard but it is easier to just run a few miles than push yourself for 1/2 mile over and over, in my mind.

I was having trouble with my shoe, too. My toes were falling asleep but if I loosend my laces, my knee would hurt. I might be heading to the show store to get re-fitted. I am wondering if my usual shoe (Asics 2160) aren't working for me anymore??

Anyway, after running, we stretched and then do core workout like abs, planks, etc. It is a good workout and after 1.5 hrs of it, we are ready to go home!

In fundraising news, we have raised $345 so far!! Our goal is $3,300 so we are only $3K away! Woohoo!

Next up for us this week is our Saturday run at Baker Beach. We'll keep you posted!

Here We Go...

Erik and I just got married and we are doing something super fun together - running the Nike Marathon in October 2012! Well wait, I am running the half-marathon and Erik is running the full marathon!! We are training with Team In Training and it's going to be awesome.












I ran with Team In Training back in 2008 and it was so much fun. I met some great people including our friends Betsy & Greg, and they are training for this marathon, too!

The best part about training and running with TNT is that not only are we going to run a race together but we are fundraising for cancer. Team In Training is the leading organization for fundraising for leukemia and lymphoma. Cancer affects so many people, including some of our family members and friends and we are excited to raise money for research and patient care.

We hope you will donate to us! We will be working hard out there each week training and fundraising until October. We hope to have some fun fundraisers and raffles along the way too!

Thank you for your support!! You can donate to us here:
