Running Fetish

Ok, so I have developed a fetish or maybe a desire to run. But I don't like to just run for no purpose, I am an athlete at heart and need to be working towards a goal, and weight loss is NOT motivating enough. So, myself and 11 others (mostly people from work) have decided to get crazy about running and run the Great River Ragnar Relay. Its a 198 mile 12 person relay race from La Crosee WI to Minneapolis MN. I am pretty excited and scared to death at the same time. My sister Kelly may fly out here and run with me. She has been on two teams and ran the Ragnar Del Sol two years in a row, she's CRAZY! So in my endeavor to do this there must be some training involved. I am going to try to run at least 3 days a week accomplished 10 miles per week for the first couple weeks and then increase gradually.

I have been running a couple times and it feels great! I really do love to run. I am not a marathon runner by any means, which is why the Ragnar intices me. My longest run will be 7 or 8 miles, I can handle that ( hopefully). The race is August 22-23, I have a few months to train and get ready.

On the left side of my blog you can track my running progress as I will update each time I run. Today I logged my first miles, 3.78. It felt great to run.
