Last weekend, I managed to put in 3.34 miles on Saturday, 1.25 miles on Sunday and 1.23 miles on Monday. Mostly did half walk/half run for these. Not great times, but not too shabby either.
I also discovered a walking/running path around my yard. If I do the perimeter of the two acres, it is just about 0.25 miles. If I shorten it, I can get a 0.10 mile path around my drive/the barns/front yard/sidewalk area. So now I have some options for when Mr. CrazyLife is working late at the farm or his parents house and I can't get out on the road. I can walk the yard while the kids play outside. It's not as fun doing that, but at least I get some millage in.
I'm also researching some races to sign up for in the upcoming months - give me something to work towards. Plus, I really enjoyed the race in February and would like to continue with them. So here's a possible list:
- Dow RunWalk - June 4th - 5k
- Cheesetown Races - June 18th -5 mile - in the town where I work, probably won't get to this one as it's the same day as dance recitals and it looks like it's in the evening, which totally rules it out. - bummer
- Volkslaufe Races - July 3rd - 5K/10K/20K - if we don't go up north this one will work out
- Higgins Lake Sunrise Run - 1/2 Marathon - June 18th - again on dance recital day, so definitely out - bummer
Still looking . . . .

I understand about the recitals! I have 3 or 4 races (some 5Ks and a Half) on the 'maybe' list for the next few weeks or so and every single one of them has 'If there is no Soccer Game' after it. *laugh* Talk about putting a crimp in personal plans!
The 'yard track' sounds like a great compromise. It sounds somewhat better than the treadmill!
