Blah! First of all Let me say that I Am not a runner! The farthest I’ve ever run was in middle school when we were required to run a mile in gym class… J well Russ has always wanted to run a 5k so for his birthday (july 4th) we decided to fulfill that wish and run 3.2 miles or a 5k…. Wowy zowey. He has been so faithful in training for it and he is so prepared.…. Me.. not so much. So far I’ve practiced twice.. oops. The first time I ran 1 mile and it really wasn’t that bad at the time but the next day I was sooooo sore. So I gave myself a long time to recover, i kept convincing myself that I was still too sore to run again( I wasn’t being lazy or anything….) ;) Well Last Friday I decided since the race was only a week away I better buck up and try again… so I got on the treadmill with a lot of determination and ended up running the entire 3.2 miles!!! I couldn’t believe it! I was so proud of myself. I ran at a slow speed of 5.0 and it took me 40 minutes but I still finished! Yahoo! I’m not racing anyone but myself so I am very happy with 13-14 minute mile… what can I say? I’m an old woman who is out of shape. ha.. J
