Yesterday I went by Sports Authority and picked up another shirt and found this awesome Nike purple and white Dri-FIT hat on sale for just under $15! Woo-hoo! Last night Chris and I went for an easy two mile run (I had the worst side stitches last night!). I completed it in 19:34 (9:45 pace). It's hard to imagine that my best half marathon time was at that same pace. I just need to keep reminding myself that I am building back up. I can do it!
This morning Caitlin and I ran outside in what I considered really cold weather (40s). We did 2.10 miles in 24:46 minutes. The run felt really good. I didn't warm up until the end (where actually I think I went numb more than warmed-up), but we managed to pause only to tie a shoe. No walk breaks today. Yay! Our plan is 3 miles on Thursday. I'm tempted to run again tomorrow on my own to see if I can run 3 miles, but I'm thinking maybe I should take a break. But then again, it's not like 2 and 3 miles are really long... Remember I mentioned that I joined DailyMile.com? Well it turns out that they e-mail you a weekly progress report. Yesterday I received one saying I ran 7 miles last week... Okay so I've been averaging 6 miles. 7 was actually a tiny increase. But I remember back when 7 miles was one single run. It's quite depressing really. I know I need to get out of simply doing 2 miles. Maybe I will run again tomorrow and aim for 3. Hmmm...
Well back to work. I hope you all are having a great week!
ummm...what the falafel happened to your post????
