January 2007

Wanted to take a moment to post my planned workouts for January.  It's a little intense, since I decided to really pick up my running mileage to prepare for my half marathon in March.  And of course it's subject to change from time to time.   Quite often, we have unexpected things come up and I will switch around my rest days....

I can't wait to get started with 2007!

This will be my last post until after the New Year... no internet at home.  So I wanted to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous and most importantly, BLESSED new year.

Happy New Year

Ah hah, I see I'm not the ONLY one who sets monthly goals for working out & behavior. Well done -- a half-marathon is a biggie, at least for someone like me it would be.

BTW, I just surfed in off the EP homepage. You've done very well.

CONGRATS on the goals & all the achievements, and congrats on your scale moving down. It IS hard to deal with a stuck scale or a small gain, even when I measure & my clothes get more loose & I've done everything completely according to plan. That is very frustrating, but I try to constantly remind myself that the scale is just one, VERY limited, marker on this journey.

Even so, it's great when it goes down! Here's to a wonderful 2007 for you, me & everyone @ EP.

Be well, Ella

Holy smokes thats a lotta running!

Becky~  LOL just looking at your list makes me tried and I'm not evening doing it.  :D  What motivation you have!  Awesome!  I've wanted to get into running too, I heard of that Couch 2 5K thing and thought I would check it out.  Keep up the awesome work!!  Your an inspriation!

Couch 2 5k?????

Becki~ I just have to ask, how long did you train for before you were able to run your first 5k?   I have a 5k this coming April that I would like to run but I was wondering if thats too early.  What do you think?

Whoa!

That is one heck of a rotation, but I know you can do it.  I am currently doing a one hour runner program from www.coolrunning.com, but I'm thinking that instead of time I may start running based on the distance. I've cut my running to only 2 days a week because I really felt like I needed another day of rest.  Do you think since I've only been running a few months that I should wait to take a day away?  Let me know when you get a chance and Happy New Year to you as well.

Did I tell you I won a guitar signed by Casting Crowns? I must take a pic and post it for ya.
