I was SO excited when a friend of mine asked me to go running with her today! The sun was out, it was cold, but warm enough to pump the blood through my body! I ran home and got into my outside cold running clothes and drove to the local metropark!Now I am sure while we were running I felt as though I looked like the women to the right there. The first mile for me is ALWAYS the hardest! I always know when I go over 1 mile because it just gets so easy to run! We had decided to run 4 and walk the last mile JUST in case my knee decided to become a literal pain.
Two miles go by and I am fairly close to my running buddy! I have to say for not running past the 3 mile mark since November I felt like I did fairly well for myself! We get to the end of the road and start back up again heading back to our cars. We hit mile 3 and I give a hearty "YEAAAAAH". The gentleman passing us thought it was amusing and laughed at me, but HEY! I was so excited!
Finally we got to the 4 mi mark and I was glad because my knee was screaming! SO, we walked the last mile back to the cars and that was it! I felt AMAZING! I did 4 miles pretty much non stop with just a few seconds of a walking break. We went up hills and down hills! I am sure I am going to be sore tomorrow, but what are you gonna do? Right?
I can't wait to keep going with my 5k-10k training because right now it seems impossible to run 6 miles! I know by the end of my 9 weeks I will have it down, but it makes me nervous! What if I can't do it! I don't want to hit the time limit and just be done! I know this all sounds so negative, but it's what I have been thinking of lately!
Ok, I have karate class tonight depending on how my knee feels and then it's home to relax and sleep :) Thanks for reading and thank you to my barefoot shuffling friend who made my run possible today! So much better than the gym!!
