The Skinny on Me

I guess I forgot to tell you. On Monday, I officially started training for my half! 

As of today (luckily a rest day), I’ve already run 8 miles this week! Wootsy. Tomorrow, I start back up again with a 4 mile, which wouldn’t be so bad except the temperature is expected to drop about 30 degrees. Not so bueno. 

I can will do it! I will succeed! 

Yesterday, during my 5-mile run (longest run ever), I was shocked at a) how exhausted I was around the 3 mile mark, but how excited/energized I was around 4.5 miles. I ended up running 5.25 miles in 1:02:37. My goal was to get as close to an hour as possible, assuming my five-mile time would take me more than one hour. INSTEAD, my 5 mile mark hit at 59:45. Pretty damn close to, but STILL FREAKING LESS THAN ONE HOUR! 

Go me!
