And it begins

It's time for training to start in earnest. I was looking at the Grandma's plan the other day and realized that I should already be completing week 6! Yikes! So I am working on a schedule and I ran today based on the week 6 long run. Today I ran 9 miles. Which was....hard. Because all month I've only been running 3 miles! So that was a pretty major increase in miles. And it was slow, but I did it. And I questioned my ability, not gonna lie! I also slept in today. I've not been sleeping well - maybe 5 to 6 hours a night. And this has been all month (yep, it's a filing month). But last night I slept a full 8 hours. OK, well at least 7.5! But I woke up just before 9. And then I had The Coffee Incident. I totally forgot to put my pot under the drip last night. And....well, mess. Anyway, it was 11 before I hit the road and pretty warm. But I had some honey and some kefir before I left and I brought my beverage pak so I felt as prepared as I could be! And, like I said, success. I am really going to try and follow a training program for once. I'm going to use the Grandma's novice program. So week 7 starts tomorrow! With a sweet day off. Ha!
