feeling the burn
Running this season has been slow to start.. I keep getting busy or going out of town, so I have missed a lot of runs. Also... well, I just don't love the people I was running with! Hardly makes a girl want to get up early on a Saturday to run with strangers, huh?
But I am running, even with the group for track workouts Tuesday. And another group for track Thursday. Twice a week is WAY better than the once a week I was managing!
Today I even managed to get myself to run in my neighborhood. Then I got lost, sort of. There's a road with the same name as mine a few blocks away. It IS NOT MINE! It goes in a big, hilly circle! I ran the entire way! Eek! I didn't have my watch with me (hoping it's still in a box somewhere?!), so I was a little dismayed to see that I had *only* run 2.5 miles.
But - there are some crazy hills in my neighborhood, and I ran most of them. There were lots of people out walking or in their yards, and I always feel like I shouldn't be lame and walking when I pass them, so helps me push myself! Heh. Whatever works. I need to bring my camera next time - there are some amazing houses near us! Nothing we'll ever afford, and way big, but amazing still.
So this week: Tuesday 3 miles (run 1.5-2 laps, walk .5), Thursday 2.5 miles (run 1.5-2 laps, walk .5), Saturday 2.5 miles. Whew. My legs are tired! And it was only 8 miles..
