Video Podcast - 22 Miler

Here is the video we made after our 22 mile run. Tiring, but fun.

Week 12, 13, and 14 podcast

Hello fellow runners!

We finally had a few minutes to make a podcast this week, click here: http://www.box.net/shared/madlegb8aa. We have had a few big runs and are starting to taper down for the big day...only TWO WEEKS until the marathon!!

Some highlights of the podcast:
- highlights from the longest run- 22 miles
- running etiquette (again! watch out!)
- asking for directions on the run
- new aches and pains
- fun facts and tips about running in the sun/heat

We have a pretty easy week this week and next, and should be well prepared for the race in a few weeks. Keep the questions and comments coming! Wish us luck in these last few training days!

Run on fellow runners, run on!

Whew, so busy! (and Happy Birthday Brian!!)

Hello fellow runners! What a crazy few weeks we've had. I know were a little behind in our podcasting, but between work getting busier by the minute, trying to run 6-10 miles/day before the sun goes down, and making sure we eat dinner and have clean clothes, we havent really had much time to think let alone podcast!

We have our longest run of the training this weekend- 22 miles! Then we begin the taper (whew!). Our 20 mile runs have been fine, they hurt a bit, but I'm confident that we can do the 22 now. I think that is the whole point- once we do 22 I know 26 wont be so bad (ok, it might be bad, but we can do it!).

I've been having some foot/shin problems these last few weeks. I thought it was just from a shoe being too tight, but now its going up my leg a bit. Its not so bad that it hurts all the time, just when I run. I've tried to take it a little easier this week, just so I can make it through the 22 miles. I know I will be taking a Tylenol or two on the run...

I know this is short and sweet, but I thought I'd give an update just so you know we didnt forget about the podcast, and the training is going strong!!

Run on fellow runners, run on! (see, I dont mind TYPING it, I just dont like SAYING it!)

Week 10 and 11 Podcast

Just finished another podcast. This is a good one, with a special "Quote of the Week". Check it out here: http://www.box.net/shared/u8xtsach76

Since we last talked, we ran a 18 and 20 miler. Its really starting to get real, and we are real tired too, sleeping a lot more and eating a lot more. We have really started to find out how much time is devoted to this thing, not only running, but the prep and recovery from these long runs. But it feels so good accomplishing a new feat every week.

Also, Brian's mom is running her SECOND half marathon this weekend in the San Jose Rock and Roll Half marathon. GO Cherryll/Mom!!

Run on fellow runners, run on!
