Running!
Oh! I totally forgot to mention the marathon training!!!
Jennifer and I have been running a -TON-. Last week I ran 11 miles on Sunday, then 3, 6, and 3 miles on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thats 23 miles in a week!! This week has already started out well, we ran 12 miles on Sunday, and I think we're going to run a total of 25 this week. Our speed isn't too bad at the moment, though it will obviously improve by the time the marathon rolls around. We ran the 12 miles on Sunday in 2:40, which is an average of ~4.6mph. The previous week, though, I ran the 11 miles at ~4.99mph. In order to beat Katie Holmes I have to average 4.7mph over the entire 26.2 mile race (she finished in 5:30). That is going to SUCK. The race starts at 6:30am and I need to finish before noon, so that at least gives me a nice round goal for completion. :)
