5 Mile Run!!

I started this morning and the BLBE Challenge with a awesome 5 mile run with Roni! We went to Lake Montebello where there is a track that goes around the lake, the track is nice and flat - good for getting timing down - and is about 1.3 miles around. Our goal was to run 50 minutes and when we got to the 50 minute mark we were .15 miles away from 5 miles, so we decided to keep going and hit 5 miles! One mile short of the leg that I have to run for the marathon relay in a little over 2 weeks! Hopefully we will get another long run in next weekend. Here is our run from my Nike+.


Tomorrow early morning I am off to Irvington, VA with my parents to visit my Great Aunt and Great Uncle. Charley is going with me and will meet them for the first time. It should be a great time, since they live right on the Chesapeake. They have a boat and I love to go out on the boat and go fishing. It should be a great time...plus my parents will be there too...so I have a babysitter if I want to go out on a run or a walk. I won't have access to a computer so I will be out of the loop until Wednesday night. But as soon as I get back I will check in on your blogs and all of the fellow challengers!!

Good luck all and have a great week!!

Alright - you did 5 miles in 50 minutes! Wow you are a faster runner than I am. I am finally working on getting faster but I am still a snail's pace runner!

Another BLBE person -- good job! I can do a 5 mile walk easily and a 5 mile walk/shuffle, er, "run" slowly. One day... :-)
