- 6.35 miles, east high route
I am so grateful to be able to run! It makes me happy. It's funny because I'm about 2-2:30 mins/mile slower. I used to try and beat 54 mins for this exact same route, and now I'm happy if I can come in around 1 hour 11 mins. =0) I made my goal this week of 25-30 miles. I hope to continue that for as long as I can for the next 7 months. I can tell a definite difference as far as being more tired when I get back, I'm much more thirsty and I have to eat on time through the whole day or I WILL puke. But I can also see a huge difference in my well-being (both physically and mentally) when I run as opposed to not running, so I know it has to be a good thing. At work, I see way too many babies taken out early due to pregnancy-induced hypertension. I also see a lot of gestational diabetic babies. Neither options are favorable for the first weeks of life! I know these are sometimes out of the mom's control, but by golly, I will do everything in my power to avoid it!
Excited to watch conference today and tomorrow, always a fun weekend. :) Me, James and my little sister are going to try and get in standby tomorrow, hopefully it works! |
