Re - Energized

Figured it had been too long since I posted - we are getting close... I think I heard that Lara is in training now for the marathon someone said she walked 7miles the other day - well again I just wanted to say how proud I am that we are all doing this together - hope ya'll are having as much fun as me! Keep up the hard work and remember its a jungle out there!

Stick Boy's Back

I can now run for over 1 hour, not exactly sure of distance, but I figure I'm about 20% of the way there now. I'm going to try for 1.5-2hrs this weekend. I've been swimming 2-3 times a week too, not exactly sure why since I don't think there will be much water for me to jump into while running. Everyone better keep up the training...I'll be up around 4:30 a.m. for a morning run...Les, let me know if you want to meet me.

RUNNING Lar Lar!?!?!?

With the help of my PT I've walked over 13 miles...we even ran a bit today!!! wish me luck on my next few days of training before I head back to work on Monday!

NO BEHIND

Happy Monday everyone! UGH! Anyway, Havent been able to walk since yesterday! Saturday morning I went to the Y and took this circuit training class from 8am-10am. We did over 100 lunges and ran stairs from 15 minutes. I think i worked out muscles that i havent used in 30 years! Now i am paying for it. It hurts so bad to walk. Tonight I have another class but its just an aerobic class that im going to try and go to if I am able too. Also, Clay and I are going to go to YOGA tomorrow night which i think will help us with some good stretching techniques.

Stubby Legs

hey all just wanted to let everyone know that this training stuff is tuff - i'm going for 13.5 miles saturday - thats the half way mark for me and stickboy - stick to it everybody and someone let me know if they find any energy boosters i need to start eating what clints eating

Hello Everyone - I'm Here

Just thought I needed to post something since I haven't yet.

Well, I went out walking the other night for the first time in many many moons and needless to say I'm really in bad shape. My knees were making popping noises and my toes were killing me. I could feel the blisters forming and boy was I right. My toes look like they have been burned and they feel worse than they look. Clay, I really need to know where your toe socks came from. Either that or I need new feet, or a whole new body would do. Wouldn't that be nice, just trade it in for a better model. What Fun.

Well Good Luck To Everyone - I'm so excited we're all doing this together.

GO PINKBERRY'S

Jenn....

Stick Boy

I hope everyone appreciates the time I took to come up with your nickname...some were a little more difficult than others. It sounds like the Okies are actually taking this thing seriously and working out as they finish their home repairs. Lara mentioned something about whipping all of the other girls in the 5k.

An update on me, I ran the Outrigger 5k on Saturday and then ran 4 miles on Sunday night and swam about 1100 yards on Monday morning. Tonight I just finished around 4-4.5 miles and I'll swim and bike again in the morning with another 3-4 mile run at night.

It's definitely getting easier than it was 3 weeks ago, but 4 miles is a lonnnngggg way from 26.2.

There is one more ABERRY without a blueberry and i think we both deserve one. Anyway, just got back in the gym Saturday from being out over a week with a sinus infection and red throat. I had to push myself to go work-out. I did elliptical for 45 minutes then walked on treadmill for 2 miles with 5 pound weights. Thought i was going to die! Stubby Legs ran 11 miles on Saturday morning in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I was extremely proud of him! When he walked in, there was not a dry spot on his body. He was very sweaty and red-faced. Sunday morning, Clay and I got up and went for a run together outside. I think i lost my mind. It was so hot and I thought my face was going to explode...it was sooooooooo RED. We ran for about 30 minutes straight then i had to walk. Of course, Clay was fine and not out of breath at all. This was not even a workout for him now that he is running half marathons every other day!

cheer from OKC!

Gimme an A gimme a B gimme a ERRY! Go Aberrys with blueberries!! Woo hoo!!!

Blllllllog

I love this site...now I might not have to get a blueberry. :o)

~the only aberry w/o a blueberry

Outriggers 5k

I finished and not too far behind the 12 year olds or the overweight crews that were running. I went too slow in the beginning and then too fast in the middle because I was gassed at the end. Legs didn't hurt at all...just need to get the cardio..........MUCH better. Lara was a 5k Crawler because of all her complaining but now that she's training I might have to change it to a 5k Competitor.

Keep it up everyone...3.1 miles is a lot tougher than you think.

go Clinto go!!

Good luck today!! Love the comments on each of us..no idea why you'd call me the crawler though:(

5k

Clinto, let us know how you did today! I searched for the Outrigger 5k and our Pinkberry site was the 4th result!!!

3 mile tour

Oops we did it again..the pups are pooped but were still goin strong. So much to do today but planning another walk tonight!

Outrigger 5K

On a whim, I've decided to sign up for the Outrigger 5K tomorrow in Seabrook. I was going to go for 4 miles tomorrow, but I've decided to run the 5K instead. Also, I'm going to sign up for a 10K in September that includes a run over the Kemah Bridge...that ought to be interesting.

Run...huff huff huff...Run Clinto Run

Lee

Oh, I can't wait for my toe socks. Make Ryan's XL for extra long. Haha, hey, I know y'all haven't been posting your mileage. You & Clinto were almost in the double digits...scary! How long does it take y'all to do these runs? I do the elliptical for an hour and I know I don't get anywhere close to the miles you're putting in.

Clint, I love the pink background.

Congratulations to Lou!

Just wanted to say not to make fun of my glove socks because that's what I'm getting all of you for christmas - since I will be awake this year -

The Oldest Pinkberrys Are On the Move

I think maybe we need some socks for many and varied body parts to cut down on "friction", eliminate abrasion and stop shower shock. The oldest pinkberrys are cruising to Atlanta and hopefully will get in some walking.

It must be a great training tool considering you ran 6 miles in glove socks last night then showered then put back on the socks to sleep in..........and they were still SWEATY! Anyway, they are funny looking but they are suppose to help with circulation.

new training tool

i just discovered the dorkiest new training device... feet gloves - they are socks that fit on each toe to where they are seperated - looks dorky but it keeps toes from rubbing together and allows for more circulation in the feet - $10 bucks - great investment - hope all is well on everyones training and expect the oldest pinkaberrys to walk in atlanta and on the beach! and everyone needs to remember its a jungle out there!

Look at all these Auttonberry ATHELETES! Thats awesome! I worked out thursday and ran 2 miles then lifted some weights. I havent worked out since and suffering bigtime from exhaustion from my big birthday weekend. I hope to get back in the gym tonight but it may be tomorrow before the gym sees me b-c right now i can hardly keep my eyes open at work im so TIRED! My hubby, on the otherhand, has been running everyday. He is a maniac! He ran 8 miles yesterday in the heat! His clothes were soaked! Looking forward to the Marathon and cant wait to cheer on the boys as they accomplish such a wonderful GOAL! good luck to everyone with the training!

Run Forrest Run

the birthday girl is signed up and running...the fat guy with brain damage must tell everyone that he did an 8 mile run today outside and decided that 26.2 miles is a very very very very long way - it was reality check today clint and i have a lot more training to do - by the end of this week im going to turn in some ideas for our training tshirt so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions let me know - the other thing i need help with is how to raise money for the two charities - how can we post the addresses on the blog and how can we collect and get it to these charities??? the drain bamage guy needs smart peoples help - lets do this quickly - anyway i think this is a great idea for our family and an even better excuse to get together!!! Much love and pops lets make all remember that when we takes the lead we keeps the lead!

unbelievable!!!

Davy and I finally started our training..got in 3 miles this morning. Love yall!!!

Leslie & R to the Y to the A to the N

Ryan says he ran to the commode a couple of times at work yesterday. He really did walk about 3 miles of pipe the past 2 days and got paid for it yo. He even climbed some, so Clint let us know if you figure out how to calculate those zigs and zags.

We took Lane to the ER last night. He woke up and couldn't breathe and was blue around his mouth. He has croupe. They gave him a breathing treatment and now he's taking steriods and antibiotics. He's much better today.

Saturday's Plans from the absolute OLDEST

Missed my walk yesterday, so I'm swimming and walking today, plus I'm chasing a newly mobile Marley as she chases Scooby. Hilarious. I'm planning four trips around the sub for a total of 2 miles.

Clinto

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY TO ONE OF OUR RUNNERS! Beth is officially 30 years OLD...congrats!

However, I'm not sure she has signed up yet. Can anyone confirm that she has signed up or has she chickened out due to her new age?

Back to running, I ran 2.5+ miles (I put the plus sign there because I don't know how to measure the zigs and zags of the sidewalk versus the street) tonight in about 28.5 minutes. I ran it much slower than I had been and amazingly that made it much easier. I'm not sure if you consider it running or jogging, but to me anything that's not walking is running.

Goin down the dirty brown and really low Guadalupe River in the morning...

:)

Anyone picnic?? Anyone??? We can still get shirts! Its not too late!

P90X

I just did the elliptical while watching the P90X infomerical. This was very effective. :o)

I added Lara's email so it would update her when a post was added and she wanted me to write something so she could see if it works. But the story is true.

Also, I just noticed the "Team Challenge". You should read it, it's hilarious. We should definitely challenge other teams!!!

~Lee

A few thoughts from the good ole OKC

Running....Really??..and did someone say annual??? Can't we just have a picnic or something?..I'm just sayin! Anywho as for updates: I walked in and out of the office every day this week! I know this blogging isn't easy but dad quit using the email..that's cheating!

The Oldest and Dumbest's Turn

Well i figured i better learn how to do this thing - i just wanted to let everyone know that this was actually clints idea - he had already set up to run the marathon so lets give him all the credit while we are sweating and running - also i want us to raise some money for charity - clint has some ideas and any others would be great but craniosyntosis and breast cancer were two - i figure if its with family and for a good cause we might do this once a year! anyway the running im up to 6.5miles for my long run... only 20 more to go - the wife said shes gonna do the 5k! keep it up

Thunder Storms

So, after Clay enlightened me to the running plan, I got nervous and excited and decided I needed to hit the road. I gathered my two nuggets and hit the streets. I had just picked up the pace (you know, when the fat on your thighs starts to jiggle!) when I heard thunder. I turned around and booked it home. As I approached our house, our neighbor was in his driveway on the phone (I'm sure he was telling someone how bad the skies looked). Anyway, I made it home just in time. The bottom dropped as I closed our front door. I RAN for 5 min. straight and I was sweating and breathing hard.

That's it, hope you got a good laugh!

The Oldest Pinkberrys Are Walking

The oldest Pinkberrys are on the walking trail. Scooby goes for one trip around the sub and then we head out without him for three more trips, for a total of approximately two miles. I think this has been going on for about three days now, even in yesterday's rain. Thanks to our sons for getting us going.

Clinto 7/23/09

I ran approx. 1.8 miles today. It was the third run I've been on this week.

.7 miles the first day
1.4 miles the second
1.8 miles the third

I'm shooting to do approx. 2-3 mile runs starting on Sunday and then hopefully before August is over I'll be able to do 5-6 miles without too much of a problem. It's much easier said than done and I forgot how high my metabolism gets when I'm working out. I think I've lost 5 lbs already and I'm eating a ton...but better food too.

HOUSTON MARATHON

Clay wanted to set this blog up so everyone could keep track of what each of us was doing while training for the 1st Annual Family Run Event. I'll send an email to everyone that tells you how to sign in and post an update or picture to the site...happy running!
