Shelby Bottom Park Training

So the training continues. Yesterday we had a five mile run which we did at Shelby Bottom Park in East Nashville. The park was a very nice place to run as it was pretty flat. The Shelby Greenway is part of the Nashville plan to have greenways running throughout the city.

Resolution Run 2009

Well, it has taken me a while to write but we’ve been busy getting back to work and working on renovations in the house.

We ran the Resolution Run 5K on New Year’s Day in downtown Nashville this year. It was very fun and we did well, especially Reuben, considering it was his first race. He came in 22nd for his age bracket (30-34 year old males).

We ran with Marjorie, a woman I play tennis week a couple of times a week, and one of my mother’s friends. We had a great time but were sad to leave Violet at home, especially when we figured out that she was allowed to be at the race. It was an “anything goes” kind of race….so people had their dogs, baby joggers, mp3 players, etc. We’ll know better next year! (sorry Violet…).

We’re still getting ready for our big run in April and getting faster and in better shape with every run.

Today Missie and I continued our training for the half marathon by running slightly over two miles. We usually track our distance with our GPS, but we have run low on batteries so had to go by time today. Anyway, we also decided to register for a New Years Day 5K called the Resolution Run in Nashville.

Today we continued our training for the half-marathon by running 2 miles at Crockett Park in Brentwood. We are going to try to keep the blog updated with our training workouts and up to date as we prepare for the Country Music Half marathon.

Our route today was on the red portion of the trail leaving Crockett Park running for a mile and returning. Our dog Violet really enjoys that we are training for a marathon even though she doesn’t really know . She just likes to get out and run.

I feel obligated to put in a cute photo of Violet here.:
