Man! Running/walking 10 miles was a huge thing for me. A HUGE HUGE thing. Regin & George were there to cheer for me at the end, and I really felt like I had pretty much already accomplished my half marathon goal. Funny how 8 miles didn't seem all that close to the goal, but 10 miles felt like I'd pretty much done it. Now I'm SURE I can do it. I was pumped all day on Sunday (I do the Saturday runs on Sundays). And I did my fastest pace to boot! I'm still so pumped by my success that the last three runs in a row have been new records for me for my pace. I'm now, as of tonight, down to a 13 minute mile. Today's was on the treadmill, so I don't know if that's a pace I can hold as easily on the road. We'll see on Sunday! Also, I completed 100 miles on Nike+. Check it out, I even got a certificate! By the way, my current run/walk pattern is... I walk the first mile at a good, quick pace, then after that I walk .35 miles, run .15 miles. It's perfect! Short little running bursts that keep my pace quick and don't tucker me out too fast.
On top of all this goodness, I am having a particularly thin day today. I told Monica that and pointed to the looseness of my shirt around my waist as well as the extra give not previously seen in my pant leg. And I told her I thought I could see it in my neck too. And she said, "Oh I can see it EVERYWHERE!" :) WAAAAHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
FFK -- what the heck are we going to do after training ends? If we stop this level of working out, we are going to BALLOON UP!
I had to skip the last 4 mile run this week because I'm sick with a cold. Tomorrow morning I do my 11 mile. I know I could otherwise do it, so I really Really hope this cold doesn't stop me. :( Darn George for getting me sick!
I was supposed to do the 12 miler yesterday, but kept hurting, so I ended up quitting t 11 miles. I feel I still di "OK". Man it hurt. I think my period is coming up. I hope next week is better. fortunately it is only a 9 miler.
e-I say we continue 3x/week at a 6 miler or something. Maybe we should find another run for the spring to keep us from getting too fat and loose. lol.
We're a group of average ladies looking to push ourselves to accomplish something awesome. Some of us want to lose weight, some of us just want the challenge itself. Our first goal is complete: run/walk a half marathon!
