It occurred to me this weekend that since Ragnar is coming up in about a month, even though I’m already running, maybe I should look at the training schedule they recommend. Well I was surprised (I’m not sure why) that I’m supposed to be doing multiple runs per day to condition for the different legs during the event. Oops! So I printed it out and made a few changes to make it fit my schedule.

Today, I was supposed to do a 25 minute run and then later in the day, another 25 minute run…. But my team was running at the Hansen Dam, so I went ahead and ran 5 miles this morning, and I’ll do another 2 miles tonight. It was a GREAT run this morning. I was chatting with some friends and I forgot I was even running. It was awesome. The sun was hot, but it didn’t matter, it was so nice.

I feel so good right now. It’s all about making choices in your life that make you feel good and live healthy.

I think I’m ready for spring. YAY!

 

Ragnar Leg Assignments! February 23, 2011

I’m SO excited to be on a SoCal Ragnar Relay team. And I think I found a good one too! Ragnar is a two-day 200 mile relay race from Los Angeles to San Diego. Each team has 12 people who take turns running. You nap in between legs, eat in the van, and run with a head lamp at 2 in the morning. Sounds like a party to me!

 

We had our first team meeting last week, but I couldn’t attend since I was in Boston! But it looks like everyone is organized and motivated to RUN! Get this, we are even going to have a video production team with us shooting footage and producing a movie about it! All of a sudden my running outfits have become even MORE important. I might need a new running skirt, yes?

Don’t you love sweaty hair?

I got my leg assignments, I am runner #10 (out of 12). I will run three separate legs consisting of 1.) 3.3 Miles Easy
2.) 6.1 Miles  Hard
3.) 5.9 Miles Hard

For a total of 15.3 Miles! This is exactly what I wanted. Some of the runner positions run as much as 21.2 miles and as little as 13.1 so I am happy to be right in the middle. Time to get training!
