Week 1, DONE!
Managed to get up early again and accomplish this:
3 miles
41:38 (13:52/mile)
68 degrees, 66% humidity
Concentrated really hard at going out slow, and keeping my HR in the 80% zone. Feels good to have this week under my belt. But I had three days off of play rehearsal--we are heading into tech week now AND a stretch of 90's & high 80's temps, so I hope I can manage to lug myself out of bed in the a.m. to get these runs done and stay with the plan.
*******And an update on my mom, who is fighting breast cancer...she is nearly done with the first round of chemo, which has really packed a wallop on her--she is sick for about five days after it:-( She gets it every three weeks, so right as she's starting to feel good, BAM, another treatment:-( She gets a little reprieve from it in August, then starts radiation (that's every day for a few weeks). She also goes in once a week for some special medicine to fight her particular strain of cancer...a lot of IV's and a lot of holes in her arm. So many that last week, they had to operate on her arm to put a "port" in it to make all the needles easier. Please keep her in your prayers if you are so inclined, she is a brave woman.

Will be sending lots of prayers for your mom.
Great run!
I've been getting up at 6 AM on Saturday and Sunday to get my stuff in. We are sicko :-)
Sweet prayers for your Mom!!
brave indeed! bless her sweet heart.
congrats on finishing week 1!
and, your mom will be kept in my prayers.
Early mornings on the weekends are hard. But, once you're out there it is a whole lot easier than trying to do it in the heat and humidity, right?
Glad to hear your Mom is doing well and fighting her battle. I will be thinking of her!
Hi -- sorry to hear about your Mom. Sounds like her treatment is pretty unpleasant. I'm sending her lots of good wishes and prayers.
Love the new look of your blog -- and am very interested in hearing more about how your new training plan is going.
We've had hot, humid weather in MN too -- not always so fun to run in or easy to keep heart rates down.
Hang tight, keep cool and look forward to reading more.
Good job on the run!
And I'll keep your mom in my prayers
Congratulations on your first week.
Your mom is in my prayers.
Great job on getting your first week done!!
I am praying for your mom! (((HUGS)))
