Ogden Marathon Relay Team

Woohoo!  We officially have a team for the Ogden Marathon relay.  I am looking to make that a team of 5, who's in?  We will divide the cost by 5, I might look into fundraising ;o) and of course the race is divided into 5 legs of varying lengths and difficulty.  Leg 1 is 7 miles, Leg 2 is 6.1 miles, Legs 3 and 4 are 5 miles each, and Leg 5 is 3.1 miles (reserved for any sprinters among us).  As members of the team we can continue running beyond our leg, but we only one the front person to cross the finish line (others will be bussed out).  Ogden Marathon is set for May 21, 2011.  This is going to be a lot of fun ladies and gents, I'm so excited!!!

~Day 22

Another Monday, another fun run day, 30 minutes to be exact.  Try for 3 miles in 30 minutes, that would be a 10 minute pace.  I'm not there yet, but if you are you're awesome, and if you're not you're still awesome!  I found out today that the Ogden Marathon charged my credit card $261.75, (the cost of a relay team registration fee).  I'm trying to figure out if we are indeed registered because it shows our team name, but I don't see anywhere that I am registered for it.  I think I can get a refund unless people want to go for it, then I will fight to keep our spot, after all I paid for it so they should let us in.  For the relay if we have 5 people on the team, each person would run 6 to 7 miles, but the awesome thing is we can run longer if we want to.  The last person on the team to cross the finish line gives us our team time.  Let me know ASAP!

Day 20 and RESTful 21

Thanks to Marie for keeping us posted on her progress, I hope everyone else is getting some runs in.  Our group run was snowed out this morning, but hopefully this snow will go away and we will not be interrupted anymore~  I'm hoping to kick it into turbo gear next week, getting really excited for some of these spring and summer races.  We need to start signing up since they fill up fast, it's gonna be fun.

Day 18 and 19

Today was a run/walk of 40 minutes, I apologize for posting this late.  After 48 hours on only three hours of sleep, I'm a little tired and not sure when I can pick up running daily.  I hope to still make it Saturday for the group run, my Grandma is in serious condition in the hospital and I stayed with her last night.  Hoping for good sleep tonight, but I shouldn't be up so late.  I hope everyone is having awesome runs, let us know how you're doing. 

For Day 19, pump up the jam with some cardio for 30 to 60 minutes.  You're all great!!!

Day 17

Day 17 is a rest day or light cross training day, meaning 30 minutes of nonimpact cardio.  Don't forget to add strength training two days a week.  Today would be a good day for that since the cardio minutes are less.

Days 14, 15, 16

Sorry for the blog slacking, some of you have a written schedule so I get a little relaxed on this posting thing.  For those of you who don't have the schedule or are doing this at your own pace, here are the assignments for the past 3 days.

Day 14~Rest
Day 15~Run/walk for 30 minutes
Day 16~Run/walk for 30 to 40 minutes

Update on Ogden Relay

I tried to sign up without talking to everyone because I know how fast it fills up and I was surprised it said there were still spots available.  It let me sign up and I went through everything, even gave them my credit card, and then it cancelled my order....so, scratch that.  There are still 5K and Kids K spots open, well that's what it says any way :o)
