Today I met my goal for running 10 miles this week, so I feel good about that. Two more weeks like this one and I'll be ready to start increasing my milage. I am in Colorado Springs right now, which is at a very high elevation, so I was expecting to feel worse tham I did. I am visiting my sister. I took all 6 of her kids running today. I like running with other people, and all my nieces and nephews liked it. My sister seemed to really appreciate it too. I would take some of them out, then come back around, drop off the tired ones and get some other ones. He he he. My 13 year-old niece did the whole distance with me, and my 6 year-old niece went a mile. I didn't notice the elevation as much as I noticed the hills. Nothing here is flat. You either go steeply downhill or steeply uphill. I am trusting everyone on the blog that speed doesn't really matter at this point--just consistently running the miles--because I have to admit a well-trained snail could've passed me today. However, I did the distance and had fun, made some memories with the fam. Then I stretched afterwards, and it felt really delicious. I think I'm going to be an after-stretcher from now on (thanks for the tip, Maria). I like to end with a question, because then I get more feedback. What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you while running? (Remember to keep it family friendly, guys!) Mine was running a track race with my shorts on backwards. I was notified after the first lap of the 1600 by a teammate. Oops. Or how about how your spit thickens when you run, so that if you try to spit it clings. Man, I hate dangling! Piano:40 min. |
