Hi guys. Back from my kick ass vacation and amazingly walking a total of 2 miles whenst on it! Also did a crap load of dancing on friday night. So, I am hoping that counts for something! Hahaha.
I tried the 8/5 combination and am not sure I made it quite to 8 either time. Did I mention that my watch is totally messed up? Most of the numbers have popped off, except 3 to 6. After the second 8 mins (or 7, or 6, but more than 5) I was soooo red-faced and hot! We were on the boardwalk, though & no shade.
Commitment? I'll have to say that my dad coming into the kitchen every morning in his running duds and just saying, are you ready? is pretty motivating. Especially since Akio & my sister seem happy enough to let the kids watch Totoro while we're out.
Running in the rain on a hot day is great! Very cooling. Go, go everyone! Kelly, you can totally rock those 20 minutes! I will def wait until I'm back on my office gym's treadmill before attempting that interval. We all can do it! We've been training for it.
Christie, you can do it! What's a little rain? (Though, if you run in the rain, you'll be my hero for life.) Wreke, thanks! Don't tell anyone, but I almost burst into tears at the end of my second 8-minute run today. I thought I would have given up ages ago. Your support means a lot to me.
man. thanks to injuries and illnesses, i am totally sucking here. and i'm totally proud of you guys and your progress. you are inspirational. lanna, running on vacation shows serious commitment! and kel, you can do it!

I kind of did the 20-minute run. Around 16-minutes in, had to stop to pick up dog poop. *sigh* But I almost did it!
I don't know, does that count? Can I still be proud of myself?

I'm seriously nervous about Saturday's 20-minute run. I'll be so disappointed in myself if I can't do it.
