Questions

Why hello my lovely ladies!

First...I apologize for being M.I.A. School ended with kids TODAY and I expect to have a life again (albeit with IM training) so Catherine - I'll call you back! :) And can we get a nice blog shout-out to Beth on her ENGAGEMENT!!!! So...spill all the juicy details!
I've been working out and all was well until this weekend when I attended the Denison 5 year reunion. I did my workout (with Amanda!) and it was alright, but then I came home (after puking outside of Shorney?) and my motivation has been on the down slope. I'm muscling through it, but it's harder. So here comes my questions:
1) Long run this weekend and I'm wondering if you guys are training your long runs with "walks' built in? You know dang well we'll have some walk breaks in the marathon so I'm wondering if I should train with them, too. I did the Flying Pig marathon a couple of years ago and our plan was run 10, walk 1 (minute) and that's how we trained the whole time. So I haven't done any walking yet on my runs, but I'm thinking maybe anything over 2 hours I should build some in?
2) Crap. I swear I had more questions. (I also puked in a subway bag in Greg Haar's car on my 14 hour drive home on Sunday). So, I'll let you know when I remember my tri questions.

Hope you guys are doing well and have a great weekend!!!
Jill :)

3) I remembered a question: HILLS. This week's bike said 5 X 5 min. hills. Where the heck do you find a hill that takes 5 minutes to get up?? I live in MN. We don't have mountains over here. What to do?

4) Love you guys.
