Running Update

I am still running. I didn't get out today though because Katelynn is still fighting her cold. She had a temp of 99.9, so I didn't want to risk taking her out. I talked to Shannon and we are going to try and run tomorrow evening which should be interesting because P90X is supposed to be legs, but technically that probably won't bother me until Wednesday's run!
I came across an article in the new Oxygen magazine that my sister gave me. They talked about Jeff Galloway (I had never heard of him) who wrote Running and Fat Burning for Women, and he's completed over 150 marathons. His biggest piece of advice for runners is to use the run/walk method. YEAH US! That's what we do. We run for 3 minutes, walk for 2 minutes and repeat as many times as we can (we've gotten up to 5). Galloway believes that the run/walk method helps to replenish a runner's energy. I couldn't agree more! I think the walk breaks really do help making running longer easier. I used to think that you had to run, run, run, but now I know better. I'm applying P90X to everything I do these days, "Do your best, and forget the rest."
