Sat and Sun

There was no team training this weekend so I woke up early and went out to run myself. I was really excited that I wasn't going to be passed by the team and I was able to run my own way. It was very cool out. I got my first 4 miles in and turned around to finish 4 more mile. Yep 8 mile this weekend by myself. I skipped most of my walk intervals I don't even think I walked 8 times. Every time I started a walk interval and started to run my legs were killing me. It was easier to just start running and keep going. It wasn't easy I'm not going to say that but I was proud of myself. I'm not running to win the marathon but I just want to finish. So what if it takes me a while to pass a walker or walker pass me. The point is that I'm completing my miles. I did finish 8 miles in 1 hour and 48 minutes that's 13:30 minute/miles. I really paced myself in the 1st mile and then was pretty consistent.

Today I was way too tired to get up and run and I almost didn't get out the door for my evening run, but I did run 3 miles. As I walked out the door I realized I forgot my water. I started to warm-up and just decided to keep going. I ran the whole thing! At 2.25 I really wanted to stop but I knew I had gone this far so why stop running now? I finished under 38 minutes! That's an average of 12:30 minute/mile. So by not walking I drop 1 minute. I still have a long way to go but at this point I'd be able to run 1/3 of a marathon!
