That’s my motto (well that a friend told me) and I am trying to stick to it. It seems like it would be a very logical concept but it is so easy to want to be lazy. So far I have done really well racing my plan. I am running about 20miles a week. Today I ran my long run today, 8miles and it felt great! I was glad to know that I could handle my long runs- they scare me! This week I ran in the Terrapin 5k in Chicago and I raced my best time yet 32:01 woohooo that makes my pace 10:19….that’s right…finally my speed is getting better. I need to continue to work on my speed workouts, I hate them….but they make me a better runner!
The Chicago Half Marathon is officially 5 weeks away from today…wow I don’t feel anywhere near ready, but I have a plan so I need to race it. I knew that the training schedule was going to be a tough one for this race but holy cow…you combine my running with my workout routine it is tiring! I am ready for an entire day off…maybe to just stay in my pj’s and do nothing.
Today I ran with the Kankakee Running Club....what very fun time...they were so encouraging and it was a lot of fun to run as a group. I was by no means in the front of the pack but doing something with a big group makes me feel like I can do anything! I jogged 8miles...so that keeps me up to date with my training plan. I am a little sore but not bad!
