AW Tuesday anyone?

I just have to share that I ran 3.25 miles without stopping!  A personal best by 1.25 :)  I haven't run that far in a LOOOOONG a$$ time!! 

 I have to share with someone that will at least pretend they are happy for me.  Dh seemed to have a "yea, ok?" attitude about it.  My thoughts were "Hey idiot, be happy for me, will ya? I took your advice and slowed down and ran... that got me where I ended today- YOU got me to 3.25 miles without stopping. BE HAPPY"  But, I moved on and came here to tell you :)

Re: AW Tuesday anyone?

  • Hooray! That's incredibly awesome. I'm bummed your H isn't more excited for you. That's seriously a huge accomplishment going from 2 to 3.25.

    My personal best is 5 miles (fall of 2010). I ran the Detroit Half Marathon in October (2011) and hoped to do more than 5 miles but... DH sucks and slowed me down. So I had to walk with him. Jerk.

  • That is awesome!  I am going to have to take some advice from you.  I don't think I could even run a mile.  Pathetic.  After Teagan is born I'm hoping to get out there and do something about this.

  • That's awesome, Mere!  I can't run that far without slowing to a walk for a few minutes every now and then. I would be thrilled if I were you!

  • WOW!!!! I am super excited for you! I think a few times in college I ran a mile (yes, ONE mile) without stopping...and "ran" may be generous. I think it was more like "shuffling feet just slightly faster than walking." I am a horrible runner. I hate it. My body hates it.

    3.25 is more than I could ever dream of doing, and going from 2 to 3.25 is a HUGE accomplishment! Great job!

  • Great job Mere!

     My own AW:  I got my federal return today!  Woot Woot!! Party!!! (This is such a great change from last year, which it took the IRS months to get my federal return to me.) So I have my federal and state return sitting in my bank account....just waiting to get transferred around for wedding/honeymoon stuff.  lol  Too bad it won't be there for long. Stick out tongue

  • Good job!

    Men!!!!  That's all I have to say  :=)

    I only run in softball, I'd rather walk instead, but DH used to job in his hayday he says.  I've done the exercise bike 2 days now & it's been good to do something besides the treadmill, i've gone about 10 miles on the cross training circuit, I'm feeling it too :-)

  • Don't want to sound like an annoying broken record but I am just super excited for this much needed vaca! Normally- I plan our vacas nearly a year in advance - I am a huge planner so I put alot of time and effort into planning, this year it feels great- our vaca is less than 60 days away. cruise, flight and rental cars are all paid for. Hotel is booked- all our ducks are in a row and nothing to stress about! =)
