12 mile run!
I ran 12.06 this morning!! Ran around both 6 mile blocks. It was 47 when I left but a pretty strong wind from the south so about 3 miles of the run was very challenging into that wind. Otherwise, piece of cake! Well, not exactly but I did it. Pace overall was 11.11 so pretty slow BUT I didn't have to walk any until 10.1 miles!! A new record for me. It must be that Grandma's t shirt! I wore a short sleeve tech shirt under that and long pants but no sweatshirt today. I'm feeling good about this. Wasn't at all sure I could do it. But I did!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's so great! Especially in the wind because, let's face it, that adds at least an extra mile for effort!
Feeling confident is a big part of this game. Don't get me wrong, practice has to happen! But knowing you can do it is such a key.
Congratulations again! You're hard core!
Well, I don't know about hard core but I was glad to be able to do it. It does give me some confidence. I see the run is only 10 weeks from today!!!
How did your run a Miramar go?
It did not go well. At all. And I was feeling very very down about it until I got in my car and checked the weather. 81 degrees. So running in full sun, no shade, 20-25 degrees hotter than I'm used to running. I felt better and will try again.
Oh that's too warm! It wouldn't have gone well for me either.
Happy Easter!
Yeah, I'll try again. I still don't feel right today.
Happy Easter to you!
