Me and Laura getting ready to run, run, run! She's just about the coolest girl around. Thanks friend for running my first race with me. I will never forget it & it will be so great to look back on someday when we can't do this anymore!!
This week was my highest mileage so far! I was scheduled to do this many last week, but because of our 10K race and other things going on I wasn't able to get those in. So, am repeating week 7 with 26 miles total, and a 12 mile on Saturday. Weeeeeeeeeee!
Total for Week 7 - 26 miles!
Sept 6 - rest day
Sept 7 - 10K with Laura, 1:02. Respectable :) We were shooting for 1:10, so we are happy with that!
Sept 8 - rest day
Sept 9 - 4 miles
Good run today!
Sept 10 - 4 miles
Rest day tomorrow, getting rested for 12 miles on Saturday! YIKES!
Sept 11 - rest day
Sept 12 - 12 miles!!!!! Yes!
NOTES FROM THE WEEK:
This week will start out with a rest day (ahhh!) and then back into training for my hardest week so far. I will run 26 miles this week!
Laura and I ran a 10K today (my first race!) We ran an even pace, consistent pretty much the whole way. There were a few nasty hills, but we made it through and finished with a 1:02 time. We were shooting for 1:10, so for us, that was a pretty fast 10K. I was really happy to see my hubs and kid following us around, driving to the next spot where they could suprise us as we ran by. :)
We kicked it into high gear on the home stretch to pass a few girls so that felt goooooooooood. One of the girls we passed got a metal b/c she was just a few years older than me--which put her in the next age bracket. Darn! Didn't do us much good to work so hard to pass her except to say that we did! Guess I am a bit more competitive than I thought I was! Seeing my family at the finish line yelling for us was the highlight of the race. :)
So, off we go for another week of running, running, running!
