I have a birthday coming up on Friday, it's not a huge one, but I have a huge favor to ask to help me celebrate the day... donate a couple $$ to support children's cancer research, like this one. In return, I'll ride 200 miles on my bicycle in September! greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/Chris...
Swim number 2, walking a little better now, but still not great. Ran into some gym class buddies at the gym, can’t wait to join them again! #swimming #formswimgoggles #exercise #training
Day 1, week 13, getting to the half marathon! About 2 miles into the 5 miles I somehow stepped wrong and my left ankle decided to start hurting. Had to head back home and only got 3 miles into. Icing it now! Fun!!

Day 1, week 12, on the road to a half-marathon. This has been a fun self imposed journey and I’m amazed each time I complete another run. Only a few more weeks to go!

Day 3, week 11, pushing towards a half marathon. I was not in the mood this morning to run. My legs were stiff, one of my left toes was hurting, my breathing was off, it was cold, I was dehydrated … just ugh! But I did it.

Day 2, week 11. Easy 4.5 mile morning run on the path to a half marathon. I was having some pacing issues trying to go slow this morning, but still a solid run! #runna #running #halfmarathon
Day 3, week 10, on the quest for a half marathon! That felt really good today, left knee tried to complain, but I told it off and it stopped!

Day 2, week 10, early runs are fun when training for a half marathon! #runna #running #halfmarathon #runtok #gilbert
Day 1, week 10, trotting towards a half marathon. Didn’t keep the pace the whole time, but completed the segments so I call that a win! #runna #running #halfmarathon #training
Day 3, week 9, crawling towards a half marathon!,worked on fueling during a run today. So weird to eat while running but I did feel the energy in the end.

Day 2, week 9, #eunning towards the #halfmarathon goal! Smooth and easy run with good tunes and a new #spartan hat!

Day 1, week 9, running towards a half marathon! That was tough, legs were dead, breathing was heavy, and I still feel dehydrated from the weekend of fun. But I made it!!

Day 3, week 8, one more week of training is complete on target for a half marathon! Feeling really accomplished and sang along to Depeche Mode Violator album in the first half which helped regulate my breathing! “Enjoy the Silence”!

Day 2, week 8, on target for a half marathon. That felt good, but I think I need to start doing morning runs now as it’s getting almost too warm out in the daytime.
#runna #running #halfmarathon #runtok
Day 1, week 8 with a total of 96.38 miles to date ran - working towards a half marathon! That was a little hard after a fun Disney weekend, but I got thru it. Averaging a 10:15/mi right now.

Day 3, week 7 running towards a half marathon! Longest non-stopping run I’ve completed since 2001 when I was in the U.S. Army. That was pretty f$6king awesome!
#runna #running #halfmarathon #runtok #training
Day 2, week 7 with a half-marathon only 11 weeks away! Started out way too fast but fell into the groove around mile 2! #runna #running #halfmarathon #runtok #personaltraining
On days that I’m not running or riding, I’m working on the rest of my body! Love the GTX classes at LifeTime Fitness!

Day 1, Week 7 training for a half-marathon. Did a little tempo run during lunch today. Little warm out, but good nonetheless!
#runna #halfmarathon #running #runtok
Day 3, week 6 completed on the prowl for a half-marathon. Nice jaunt during lunch break does the body good!
#halfmarathon #runna #running #runtok
Day 2, week 6 smooth and easy lunch run hunting down that half-marathon! #runna #running #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining
Day 1, week 6 of the half marathon plan. This was an easy run, but also a Monday, so this one hurt a little. Sportin’ the Manards hat that Gpa Rassmussen got me! Just wish the weather was MN nice out in AZ too!
#runna #running #halfmarathon #menards
Day 3, week 5 on the hunt for that half-marathon. This was also after a workout at the gym. Starting raining in the last mile, def a cool down!
#runna #running #lifetimefitness #runtok #halfmarathon
Day 2, week 5 in the books on the way to a half-marathon! Slow pacing is so hard but they say it’s necessary, ugh!
#runna #running #runtok #halfmarathon
Day 1, week 5 completed. I felt this one today on my quest for a half marathon. I had some pacing issues, but I also had a head wind while going slightly uphill, so I’m calling it good. #ranna #runtok #running #halfmarathon
36 freestyle laps completed in the lap pool. Took about a min break between laps, but I did it! That was insanely difficult for me, but I got it done! #swimming #training #lifetimefitness
Working on Ironman ratio training. For every mile you run, you have to bike 4.27 miles and swim 6.45 laps in the pool (lap = 25 yards). So if I ran 5.5 miles yesterday, I need to bike 23.51 miles and swim 35.47 laps. So today was the bike and tomorrow is the laps. #roadbike #training #trekbikes
