First of all, let me start by saying that my trip to Alaska was by far the most amazing vacation ever! I took just under 5 gigs of pictures/video. LOL. I may now also say that Alaska is the coolest place I've ever been running (literally and figuratively). I went for a nice 30 minute jog my second day up there, then we went for a 15 minute jog the morning we boarded the ferry (it started to rain and we still needed to pack the truck, so the run was short).
Other than walking quite a bit (talk about hills!!!), I didn't really work-out much. And I did give into french fries and some ice cream on my trip. hehe.
I ran 2 miles on the treadmill two days ago, when I got back. Then I took yesterday off, since I knew I was running this morning. This was my first 10K. I was worried that my time would be extremely terrible since I hadn't been working out consistently... my goal was to finish in 1 hour and 20 minutes (and secretly I really wanted to finish in 1 hour and 10 minutes, but I figured I'd get a cramp and have to walk). The weather was very hot and muggy this morning, but the course was flat and shaded, which was very nice. I even watched the sunrise over a lake, which was beautiful! I ended up finishing the race without stopping (YAY!) with a time of 1:02:29.931!!!!! I am so proud of myself!!!! Maybe next time, since I don't plan on vacationing anytime soon, I'll make it under an hour. Who knows! I'm just very proud of myself!
Well I still have unpacking to do. Have a great day all!!!!
