I take it back. Sometimes, I AM going to count walking miles as running miles. Like today. I wanted to find out how fast I could walk a 5K, since I'm going to register to do one on February 6th, and I'm still not allowed to run. I was pleasantly surprised to finish in 42 minutes exactly! (Well, there WERE those 2/100 of a second, but who's counting?) I think if I train for it, I can shave off another two minutes. What is funny to me is that two years ago, that was my RUNNING pace! HA! I love getting faster.
Then this afternoon, I did two full hours of water running. It was a little tricky, since I had my two babies with me, but I discovered that, when neccesary, I CAN water-run with a baby strapped to my back. And THAT is one heck of a workout. I was "running" like crazy, just to keep my head above water! Good times. :D |
