Whoops!  Guess my "allergies" were acting up today.  We didn't do any running...

Actually, my trainer ditched me to go to dinner with her co-workers. And I can't run without my trainer, soooooo, I caught up on some Craft Wars - a show I definitely should not be watching. lol.

But, with only 2 days left, it was time to go pick up our race packets. Off I went to InShape to get our race bibs, shirts, sunglasses, paint and tattoos.

It was another No Run day.

During the week, our daily run takes us through the neighborhood as we travel over to Oleander St. We go up and down the street looking at the historical houses, reading the plaques, and picking out the things we'd like to add to Amelia (our house's name, you know, like Tara from Gone with the Wind.) Well spring is in the air and the flowers are all blooming like crazy right now.  Ness's allergies kicked in and she was feeling pretty crappy today. So we stayed in and watched New Girl instead.

Today, the Trainer says is a day to rest and not run.  Who am I to argue??  So as a reward for my first week of training, I am running to the theater to watch the newest Nicholas Sparks' film, The Lucky One. Yay!!

Temperatures are supposed to be in the 90s this weekend, our daily jogs are going to be in the morning before the heat wave comes in.   Early morning, and running. Blargh.   We'll see how that goes.

I enlisted Nessa as my "trainer"  She loves running, so I signed us both up for the race. Her job is to get me in shape for this event, as my major goal is to be able to jog/run one consecutive mile during the 3.1 miles.  My job is to keep her mind on the positive aspects of this race (more about that later.)

I bought a pedometer today that counts my steps and my distance. We're going to use that as a guide to set small goals each week, working up to that one mile mark.

Each day, we'll walk/jog three miles. Here I'll record each day's measurements to see how much I'm (hopefully) progressing.

Steps: 5400
Distance: 2.556 miles
Distance (jogging): .35 miles
