I’ve been loosely following the Jeff Galloway half marathon training plan – it seemed like a good place to start since it incorporates walk breaks. But I think I can do better than a 30-minute run twice a week, so my modified strategy is to pop on the treadmill and run as much as I can while catching up with my TV boyfriend Alex Walkinshaw the medical drama Casualty. YouTube can keep me entertained for ~48 minutes. Today, this plan worked very well!
I have never in my life run for 50 minutes without taking a walk break. I just kept going! Could I have gone for an hour? I think I could have, but my sister was waiting and the episode had finished, and I was kind of amazed that I’d gone that far.
Never doubt the distraction qualities of television! (Something all parents probably already know). Now on to Long Run Sunday! I skipped it last weekend in favor of hiking, so I’ve got to psyche myself up for it.
What’s your favorite TV show?
I’m impressed. Keep it up!
That’s awesome! The best part is, soon you will even surpass that record and be like, WHAT? I ran 6 miles? Then it will be, WHAT, I ran 8 miles?! I think that’s the best part about training, maybe even better than the race itself.
Running for 50 minutes without a walk break? That is awesome!

Wahoo on running for 50 minutes, that’s amazing!! Isnt it amazing how quickly you build up stamina while running? Thanks for linking up!!
Congratulations! That is awesome that you ran your furthest without needing to take a walking break!
As for my favorite tv show I haven’t been able to watch too much lately, but I love The Amazing Race. I love seeing where they will be going and learning about the different cultures. I’m looking forward to when they start a new season.
Great job!!! I’m so very proud of you. So, I haven’t been into a sitcom since Gossip Girl ended. I’m a huge sucker for reality tv, daytime talk shows and Oprahs Super Soul Sunday. Keep up the great work- very inspirational
I am so impressed with you! Keep up the great work. I know it can’t be easy with everything you have to juggle, but you make it sound so easy. Since I last checked in, I have started my Couch to 5K training. I made it the whole week even though I was in charge of an evening Vacation Bible School which started right after my full day of work. I did it and I’m proud of myself. My body hurts, but I feel better mentally. Thanks for being a part of my support system.
I have a list of favorite soaps.
for now I ♥ suits and devious maids.
