That 4 am alarm is not my friend -yet. But hopefully I'll start to fall in love soon. It hasn't been as hard as you would think actually but today my body was hurting. Everyone says that it gets better as your body adjusts and gets in shape. Well see...I did two runs yesterday, I wonder if that's why? hum.
I am still not sure what race to do. I really wanted to do the Rock'N'Roll Marathon in San Antonio. I remember hearing about the one in San Diego from friends who knew friends who were doing it. This one in SA is on November 15th which means I would have exactly 130 days to train. Is this long enough? It doesn't sound like it is...
My very talented friend Fur Face Boy - says he's going to do this with me but I am not 100% sure yet. I haven't heard from him in a few days but I think he really wants to. He's way ahead of me because he's done three half marathons in the past. He wants to do the White Rock Lake Marathon here in Dallas which is on December 13th. hummm... This gives me 28 more days of training!!So, if he decides to do this crazy thing I'll probably do that one instead. If I am on my own (hint hint) I guess I will do the one in San Antonio. Any takers? Come on....
I haven't started logging my distance with time, only distance. Hopefully by next week I'll know what pace I run at. I am so ignorant to these things. Nothin I can't learn from the internets though. I also need to invest in a polar heart rate monitor.
Monday: 3 miles
I felt good for my morning run. I only did one mile. My afternoon run was a lot harder because of the heat but I managed to get in 2 more miles. My knee is hurting.
Tuesday: 2 miles
I think I was sore from yesterday because it took me a lot longer to warm up and get that running in the mud feeling to go away. My knee hurts still but I iced it as soon as I got home this morning and it feels much better!
