A new plan

I was going to raise funds myself for Susan, but I thought it best to sign on with Team in Training. I have another dear friend and 8+ year cancer survivor Valerie that I'd like to run in honor of too. :)

I'm looking at a Fall marathon. I don't want to get hurt so I'll need to build my base nice and slow.

First goal is the

Country Music Half Marathonon April 25. I've never been to Memphis- I just gotta see Graceland! It's close enough to drive and the whole family can come for a little va-cay.

I'm using a runnersworld.com Smart Coach schedule right now and it's very doable. Today I ran two miles on the dreaded treadmill in the WRONG shoes. I had a break between clients and I wanted to get it in! The pace suggested 11:58/mile but I felt like I was just walking fast so I did about 11/mile. :) I do need to run a 5K and get a time to base my training off of. There's a fast one next weekend. They give out Icees at the end.:P
