Great first step! Welcome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-936548 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 17:35:11 +0000 spaniellove 936548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I join? I don't think I'll be doing much in the way of distance because I stop getting AF when I go past a mile or two, so my goal is just to run that distance without stopping. I'd love to do a 5k in the fall! This morning I took the first step and added some running back into my walk...it's time to find a longer route around my home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-936537 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 17:29:17 +0000 HLK208 936537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: yeah, he's okay! I went into mama bear emergency mode lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-936485 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:58:31 +0000 doodlepoodle 936485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Ahhhh man! Is B okay??? :( nothing like a little motivation... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-936482 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:57:06 +0000 HLK208 936482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: hahaha right? </p> <p>So I ran a mile in 8 minutes last night. Why? Because B got a bee sting in the stroller one mile into my run. I had to get home to put a baking soda paste on it! :(</p> <p>But I'm relieved to know I can run that fast? Kept up with 2-3 miles a day. Got up to 4 and doing 5 at the end of this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-934325 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 22:23:50 +0000 doodlepoodle 934325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran 2.2 mi in 23 min tonight! It was w/o the stroller though, man I can go way longer without that tubby kid! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-934316 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 22:16:26 +0000 Bartilbe 934316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Epic fail last week.. Gonna have to step it up this week and double down. I am going for 6 miles before the week is out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-934311 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 22:15:26 +0000 Bartilbe 934311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: my bad. didn't realize you were still signed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-934308 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 22:13:50 +0000 petunia354 934308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-914428 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:06:22 +0000 BoogieBea 914428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just came across this thread!

I would! We're waiting for good now though (until E is the age that Ben was so 2 years and a few months). Kind of bummed but DH isn't fully comfortable with the idea of trying yet and we love the age gap between B &amp; E. Back on BC in a few weeks :-/</p> <p>Ahh. Sorry for thread jacking!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge/page/2#post-914329 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:23:15 +0000 doodlepoodle 914329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I'm getting more and more excited! The site says there are bands too! If you get KU you should come cheer elley and me on ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914327 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:22:28 +0000 IRunForFun 914327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Sorry, I'm totally butting in to this thread, but when is your 10k? I think you can totally train for that by September. I was reading your plan to build up your mileage each week and I think another good way to approach that is to build up for two weeks, then back down for one week, then back up for two weeks, etc. So, for example, if your longest run this week is 3 miles, next week you'd go up to 4, then up to 5 the week after, then back to 3 the next week, then back to 5 again, then 6, then back down to 4, etc...The cut back week would give your legs a chance to recover and could help prevent injury! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914312 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:16:40 +0000 HLK208 914312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: it really is so much easier to run a race than to train. There are tons of people cheering you on constantly. It feels so good to pass people who are in shape too lol. At the R&amp;R, there were teams of runners that did intervals so I kind of kept up with them after I got tired at mile 6 haha. Their team leader was super motivating! My first half was one of my favorite experiences - the endorphins were insane :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914278 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:03:27 +0000 doodlepoodle 914278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: um an 11 min mile is like half what I avg ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914261 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:56:23 +0000 HLK208 914261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: the heat totally makes the difference though. Running in a misty 60 degrees is so much easier. Watch, you'll be use to the heat for the SB half and I won't lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914249 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:50:36 +0000 HLK208 914249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: I did the Rock n' Roll Seattle half but not the regular Seattle. I only got up to 5 miles training before though so I could have done better but I averaged an 11 minute mile. It wasn't bad but my feet were DYING for a good two weeks lol. The Seattle half has some good hills (a few friends who have done it told me about the route) but training with the double bob is harder than anything else :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914247 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:50:29 +0000 twinmama 914247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: god job, running in the heat is HARD! I'm a weenie and usually avoid it. But I did get a nice tan out today.... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914240 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:47:19 +0000 doodlepoodle 914240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: woah...haha! I just had j in his but he's not as heavy as both B&amp;E ;)</p> <p>It's going to take me a full year to get ready for this half! I only did 2.5 today and felt like dying! But it was also 93* out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914234 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:44:46 +0000 twinmama 914234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: yes I am! That's awesome...I need to look into that one and see if I can be trained for it in time. Have you run it before? I've done Capital City and Eugene halves, but nothing in Seattle yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914220 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:42:33 +0000 twinmama 914220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: holy moly, your bob is even heavier than mine! You did 7 today too - rockstar! Great minds think alike :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914215 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:40:33 +0000 HLK208 914215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: aren't you in the Seattle area?! I'm running the Seattle half this November!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914213 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:39:55 +0000 HLK208 914213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: whoa!!! 7 miles total - way to go! E is 20 pounds and B is 35 so our double bob is TOUGH these days too!!</p> <p>Ran 3 today and walked 4 - my endurance and strength are building which I love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914211 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:37:32 +0000 twinmama 914211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: @babyjmama: I would totally love to run a bee half! That would be so awesome :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914207 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:35:42 +0000 twinmama 914207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ran 3 miles on the treadmill this morning and 4 miles with the kids outside in the double bob this afternoon! Whew these buggers are getting heavy....80 lbs of stroller these days!</p> <p>Got outside alone for 3 yesterday. Working hard to keep up the momentum. We are camping this weekend so gotta pack my shoes and commit to hitting the trails there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914192 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:25:12 +0000 Mrs. Blue 914192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bartilbe: I've always been told it's the miles on your feet that matter, not how fast they are or if they are consecutive miles of running! Three is great!</p> <p>My goal this week is pretty much the same as last week, because I didn't get to run at all since my in laws were staying in our "treadmill room." So, I want to run/walk at least 5 times and be running at least one mile at a time by the end of the week.</p> <p>How did everyone do this week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914188 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:22:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 914188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did 2 miles yesterday! Feeling it today, though. But I'm glad I did :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-do-a-running-challenge#post-914177 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:15:32 +0000 Bartilbe 914177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I plan to run 3 miles total this week. Weather I have to do it in one shot or a little every morning. </p>
