Soo, yesterday I ran 4 miles. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the prospect but I've run farther before. The problem was I took two weeks off of running due to an injury and have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. I still coach, but I suffered a bit just like my students (don't tell). I'm pretty good at putting on a happy face though. Anyway, yesterday I felt awesome. It was like I was born to run. It didn't matter that it was very hot. It didn't matter that I wasn't really hydrated well. I still felt like I was flying. Afterwards, I signed up for half marathon training. I know I can do this. Lupus be damned. I run this house not lupus!!! My goal race is the route 66 half. After that I may do something fun like the disney half or a running cruise. Who knows? The sky is now the limit.
Happy running.
I started running about 3 years ago. It is the most awesome thing i do (and I do a lot of things). The first time you sign up for a half marathon is something special. I am a running coach as well so I will peeking in you here and there ;) Godspeed
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashlan, I'm trying very hard to get into great shape so that I can run it in under 2:30.
