A much requested update!

Official marathon training has kicked off! I altered their training schedule slightly since I'm meeting with the trainer 2x per week, and doing a yoga class. Wheew! It's a lot, but so far, so good. I've met with the trainer 3x. The first time we did machines, she called it an "easy" workout. I don't know if I'd go that far, but it wasn't as hard as day 2. Day 2 we did the BOSU ball. In case you don't know what it is, it's this. I did lunges, squats, push ups, and numerous workouts with the body bar, all while standing on it. My muscles hurt so bad the next day! On day 3, we did lots o' upper body stuff again with some ab and core work thrown in. As you can tell, most of my work with the trainer will be upper body. We'll do legs to, but she doesn't want me to get to tired or to sore and not be able to run. My personal training sessions are meant enhance my marathon training, not inhibit it.

4 of the 6 Team Derby girls walked in the Derby Days and passed out fliers for a fund raiser at Buffalo Wild Wings. It was sooooo hot! Below is a pic of us before the parade started, I already has sweat rolling down my back. We don't know yet how much we made, but hopefully it will be the start of a good fund raising base!

Tomorrow is our first TNT group run. I'm not sure how many people will be there. I know there are over 65 woman registered to run from the Wichita area, so it should be a pretty big group. I'm training level 2, which means tomorrow's run is....6 miles! GULP!

Please feel free to share my fund raising page and my blog with your friends, co-workers, ect. I have a big goal to attain for my fund raising and I can use all the help I can get.

Those training sessions sound awesome. Can I ask how much you're paying for them? I've considered it too...

Hope you did well on your run this morning!

I am also curious about the cost of the training. You are making me really think about it because I cannot see me running much further if I don't tone some flab up. I am pretty sure I would bust my butt falling off that bosu ball since I'm such a GRACEFUL girl.
