I've actually been doing a little better, lately with running on a better, regular basis. I went running a couple of times after work last week, and while it was hard because I was tired, I'm glad I went.
I ran 4.5 miles on Saturday. It was slow - it was hot out though. And I'm glad that I didn't push myself so hard to run faster, just to get a better time. I think I paced in the high 12's or low 13's, which wasn't too bad, considering how much I ended up walking because it was so hot.
But this coming weekend, I have to do 14 miles! Yikes! I also need to find a hill or two to train on. There is a LONG hill on the MCM course, that is like 2 freakin miles! I don't know what I'm going to do, as I cant think of an area around here that has a 2 mile climb.
I'm planning on running the 14 miles on Friday, so I'll update on how it goes! I hope to get under 3 hours for it too. We'll see how it goes. For 12 min/miles, its 2:48:00 and for 13 min/miles its 3:02:00. So anything under 3 will be great!
I can't wait to hear how the 14 mile run goes...you rock Liz!! -Karen
