Ran for 45 minutes at lunch
Distance: 4.21; Average Pace: 10:42
It was chilly, wet and sprinkling during my run today. Sound familiar?!
I did not get up early to run outside in the dark today. I was tired because I was up a little bit during the night listening to both my husband and our new puppy snore. Not sure who is worse!! So, I packed up my stuff for the lunch run. Even though my training schedule said 45 minutes I was determined to get it in within my lunch hour...and...done!
It was a fairly good run, actually - I was a bit faster than normal. My legs felt crappy til about 2 miles in and were great the rest of the time. Today I honestly felt like running more or longer at the end. Damn that work thing.
Oh, and someone asked me today (one my colleagues who is also a marathoner) if I was running something during the Cleveland race...a 10K or something. He said, "you're a runner, are you running something in May?". I felt like I was beaming as I said, "yes, I'm doing the 1/2!!" It is the first time that I actually told that to someone and actually believed myself in that I was not only registered for the half, but that I was totally going to complete it too! Plus, he called me a runner...me!!!!! What a good day!!!
awesome! I'm glad the runs are going better. You're in the home stretch!
