Day Fourteen

2.27 in 31 minutes

Some of you who actually read this may notice that I am writing on a Friday, not Thursday. I was supposed to run yesterday but instead went to a coworkers going away party (bye Cory :( ) at Renaissance Wines. I had a great time and tried some new wines and ate some great cubed salami. I got to see Lance whom I had not seen in a while, so that was good too. However, this was the first time I did not run on a Thursday in 5 weeks!

Not only was this the first non traditional run, but it was the longest I've run in one stretch... 8 minutes! Isn't that a rodeo thing?! Well I did it :). The first 8 minutes wasn't too bad. The 5 minute walk in between was rough on the calves (why is that?!). The second 8 minutes was horrible. Ugh. Three minutes in and I was starting to sway around on the treadmill. However I powered through and finished! Man alive that was rough. I didn't run less than 11:30/mile pace... I'm trying to run at the pace they want me to. I need to be running a 10 minute mile at this point and I'm clearly not even close. Again ugh.

Sunday I will be running 20 minutes straight... dramatic pause.




I'll give it my best I guess right?!
