ouch- the knees

I ran a very hilly 2.5 miles this morning and the knees are killing. I am going to try to embed some maps of my runs (thank you to mapmyrun.com). Off to work now...

Not so lazy after all

I ran last night! only 2.5 miles, but my first miles logged since before I left for india. it felt good to run outside in nice weather for a change. I just found out that my future sister-in-law Mary is running the Big Sur marathon this weekend, her 2nd marathon. That leaves me optimisitic that there may be a 2nd in my future.

Walt Disney marathon would be fun.... January 11th, 2009 (not that I checked it out:)

Any joiners?

Runners what??

Ok. Sometimes I question why I run. Reading this article was one of those moments. Something to look forward to I guess.

I didn't run this weekend. Not sure why, the weather was fantastic. It seems I was just not motivated. I'm thinking maybe I will go buy some new cute running stuff to get me in the mood :)

Crackberries

You may know just how insane the Blackberry (AKA Crackberry) makes me.
No one really needs to be able to email THAT much. Especially my husband :)

This morning at the gym, there was a girl on her Crackberry at 5:30am clicking and clacking away as if her life were dependant on it. I guess her workout could wait.....

The rumors are true

Sara Schedler is running a marathon.

Why?

Well..... got a minute?



In my quest for personal fitness (please don't laugh), I agree to things that may seem a little, well, much.



A few months ago, my boss Teresa and I were talking about our athletic conquests. In that conversation, she mentioned that she had done a marathon. I was impressed. Being a big wimp myself I thought, there is no way....

Alas, I was compelled by the adorable face of Bailey Rommelfanger, Teresa's nephew. Bailey has epilepsy (read his story at www.teambaileyforepilepsy.com). I agreed to run to help raise money for CURE, an organization that supports epilepsy research. As a mom and a nurse, I knew that if anything was going to motivate me to run this far, it would be a child (and a cute one)!

That's the long and short of it.

In this blog, I will share my battles with the pavement, my knees, and my mind as I train for the 2008 Lakefront Marathon. Should be interesting.....

Until next time,

Sara
