First Saturday Run Announced

Who's up for a breathtaking run across the Ohio River at sunrise? On Saturday, we'll start at Fountain Square and run past the stadiums, over the purple people bridge into Newport, over to Covington, and back across the bridge into Cincy! It will be an incredible way to begin our running group's adventures through the City!

Time: 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, the 11th
Place: Meet at Fountain Square
Length: 3.5 miles

Bring as many friends as you'd like...the more, the merrier! Misery loves company, after all :)

What's up, Ladies?

So our marathon plans kinda fizzled out at the starting gate... anybody still up to running together? I love the idea of this group!

East side Morning Run

See ya in the morning at 6 am, right? I'm riding with my neighbor, Alison, from across the street. Remember, the one who almost died a couple months ago. She is my motivation. If she (who was literally on death's door) can do it, than I can do it! (Hopefully!)

Polyhy..what??

Hey ladies. I'm sad to report that I have been diagnosed with polyhydrmnios (high amniotic fluid). Right now it is not too much of a concern for my Dr but they are going to monitor with ultrasounds every appointment and stress tests on Armon.
One of the common side effects of this is rupturing of the membranes or premature labor so I can't do anything high impact...:( I can still get on the elliptical, stairmaster and lift, but no more jogging or running.
Please don't forget about me because I will be back as soon as I am recovered from giving birth!

Running Route actually determined!

Each week, we'll be doing short runs during the week and one longer run on Saturday. Don't worry--the length of the runs doesn't really increase for several weeks, so they'll stay short for a bit, but we'll still make that Saturday run a Fun Run through Cincinnati.

Anyone who so desires can meet at Swaim Park (it's on Cooper Road, in between Kenwood and Montgomery Roads in Montgomery. We'll run at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. That's a very safe area, so even if one or two people are doing the run, it will be safe at that time.

If that's too far for you Westsiders--I need a Westside person to decide a route and post it here for others to join you. It should be someplace that accomodates 3 to 6 mile runs easily.

On Saturday afternoon, I will post the running schedule chart so everyone can see in advance what our plan is. And each Sunday, I will post the route for the following Saturday's Fun Run Through Cincinnati!

thank God for port-o-potty's!!!!

Hey ladies!
I did the Foodstore run today. It was good:) My time was 41 minutes..but that was with two bathroom stops and a water break.:) I felt really frustrated because I felt so slow but it was still a challenge and I enjoyed it.
I will keep my eye's open for more races and please keep me posted as you see them as well. I'm excited to start our running on week days and Saturdays:)

This Week's Assignment

Hi Hot Chicks!

We're working on the logistics and trying to nail down routes and times to run. So this week, why don't you get your body ready to really run. If you're not used to running and will just be getting out, I asked a running expert what you should do--he said that you should run/walk 30 min. at least 3 or 4 times this week. If you can go out longer, great! But go at least 30 minutes. If you're used to running, then do what you need to do this week to prepare for running a total of 14 miles next week.

We'll try to figure out the logistics in order to really start our runs next week--with our first Saturday run being June 6th!! Is that cool with everyone?
