Week two finished up with a bit longer run. Feeling much stronger this week and still loving it! I am much faster than I originally anticipated being at this stage.
This week we had 90 second running intervals between each walk. It's amazing how many more calories you burn by doing the walking/running thing. this week will probably be 120 second intervals.
In case anyone is interested in taking the challenge, I downloaded the podcast off of itunes. It is the podcast called "podcasts for running." It is so mindless--he tells you when to start and stop running and gives great encouragement along the way. He also does a great job with the music. Very upbeat dance music that keeps ya moving.
I really love the fact that I don't have to worry about whether or not I will make it to the gym or not. If we are running late....just get dressed and head out.
At some point in the near future, once work slows a little more, I will get back to going to the gym in the evenings on the way home on the alternating days, but for now, this is working out great!

Yesterday was our first company picnic. Last year, we didn't have enough employees to warrant a get together. It really would have just been Kendra, mom and me. Not as much fun, especially since we see each other every day as it is. :)
We had over 30 people schedule to attend, but we ended up having 29 show up. A great turn out for only two years in business! We had a great time playing monster kick ball. This HUGE ball made it much more competitive so that the guys weren't able to cream it. And, we had enough food to feed an army! (as usual). We way over bought the food because we are always so concerned about running out of food. yeah. never happens.
Right after the pot luck, we rushed back to Sean's for a birthday dinner for his mom. Man, his sister can cook!! food was awesome! filet mignon with crab and asparagus, spinach salad, and potato. mmmmmm
All in all, it was a great day. Will post pics later.
