Get ready to run!!

Well, I signed up for 2 races this past week. One will be on May 1st, my birthday. This one is a 10K run here in Bend. The other race is my first half marathon in June.
So, I will be training for both in the coming weeks.
I have been running pretty regularly in the past week. And adding some speed work as well.
I'm pretty excited about these races! I've ran the 10k run before a couple years ago and it's a hard one. A third of is a pretty good hill that about killed me. So I will be ready this time!! The half will be on a familiar path, it's the same one I ran the marathon on last year, but this time I only need to run one lap.
Till next time! Happy running!

Wicked Wind Run 3/11

Well, its been a week since I last posted a blog. It's been a good week of running, got 34 miles in last week and 16 in so far this week. I had to fast last night for some blood work this morning for new life insurance policy, but still felt good running today.
Watched a show last night that said it's better to run later in the day, because your blood is thicker in the morning and could cause your blood pressure to go up. So, I'm going to try and run later in the day for awhile to see if my blood pressure goes down, It's not bad, but I thought it should be lower for the amount of running I do. We'll see.
