This morning I did 20 minutes of ab workout. I can feel how week my core is while I am running. So I am going to include abs 2/3 x's a week too.

I also just barely slipped in and made it in for Hobblecreek registration. I am running 2-3 miles tonight when my husband gets off of work. I am thinking for a slow day I will do my half marathon pace.

Also, I am going to run 6 days a week, and see how well I am improve from Ogden Half (2:50) and see how close to 2 hrs I can get in Hobble creek by running 6 days a week and increasing mileage 10% a week and maintaining miles every third week. I'll be back later to put my miles on.

Got out tonight and did a little over two miles. I think the total time was about 30 minutes, but we had about 3-5 minutes waiting at crosswalks. My partner tonight was my four year old daughter riding her bike. We had a nice talk about why she has the horn and she got to beep several times to let people know she was coming. We also had some walking while I was cramping and doing my best to make it to the restroom, where I didn't even have time to shut the door. I'm a bit tired but doing okay.

This is day 4 in a row, I'm only getting 5 days this week because I didn't run Sunday or Monday. But it will be 6 next week.

Thanks for the info on the Helen Klein race, I really wanted to do it for my first 50 miler, but after doing my 50k last weekend I decided I am not ready for a 50 miler yet. Have fun in Sacramento and good luck on your 22 mile run!
