Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hey, you aren't far at all! I coached a volleyball tournament up there last year. We should get together sometime and run a race! Well, you run a lot longer than me =) in OKC <>< 238/184.8/165 > -- great pictures!!! > > By the way, I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I live in > Little Rock, Arkansas...not too far from OKC. > > April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 , Hey, I run short races, too! : ) I'm actually doing a 5K with my husband (his first ever race) in a couple of weeks. I'm slightly faster than him (he doesn't run much), but I told him this would be all about him. I was just going to stay at his pace to coach him through it. If there are any races between us (maybe something in the Fort area, which should be about half way), we should definitely do that. I'll have to look up on the " regional " race calendar and see if I find anything.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I coached Roy through his first 5K in February. The last part he was really struggling, so I just kept giving him a pep talk the entire way. Reminding him that while others were lounging in bed, he was up doing something phenomenal for his body. That he was taking control. That we were RUNNERS and runners are people who know to how to set goals and reach them. I think he wanted to clobber me just a little. Hee hee. But! I got him to agree to go with me Sunday morning for a 5.5 mile run around Greenlake in Seattle (two times around is 5.5 miles). He's not completely certain he can go that far, but when I offered to do one time around (which he knows he can do) and then do a walk/run combo for the second time, he said " I think I'd just rather try to run it.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Yup! That's what I started with! Then when I got out of the hospital and had to start over, I just started with walking and every day increased either my speed or my distance by .10 a mile each day I worked out. That's still my formula when I want to increase mileage. > Re: Re: New Photos/ > > > That is AWESOME!! Did you use the Couch to 5K training or > just wing it?
