I find the doing weights helps me with my performance running.

I know that running has leaned out my legs which is good. I can build leg muscle without working at it lol....I have huge calfs....So I am excited that they are leaner and looking more defined..But after this next race my plan will change include weights and cardio....my challange right now is diet, complete next race and then....CHANGE IT ALL.....lol

Another problem is time....with 3 kids I can't spend a ton for time at the gym. This will be changing soon...school is starting....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good for you for having that much endurance to do that much cardio. I am dead after 15 mins on a treadmill......
Having 3 kids is enough of a work out.....Keep up the good work

You have to work up to it.....I have never ran before....I found out I had asthma at age 12 so anything cardio I never did...I have been on a ventalator(SP) for 4 days becasue they thought my heart would give out if they kept trying to get me to breath...I have prayed the rosary waiting the ems to come get me thinking I was dying of an attack at 5 months prego up north...20 miles fron the hospital and other misc event.....so when I started it was one min I could run....one minute. now I m 3 miles....just work on increasing it.....I think the reason I fell in love with running is the challange it creates for me personally. I amaze my self everytime. Where to someone else it is nothing but for me it is a HUGE step.....To finish my first race running was amazing to me.....for a kid that couldn't do anything do to my asthma...and to so that at 40...Im amazed really I am....
