Well, I did it...barely! We got up at 5:30 and ran outside on the Central Ave. Bridle Path, which was packed. We started out at our normal pace or faster (9-minute mile) and were barely slogging 10-minute miles by our turnaround point. I ended up running for 40 minutes and walking the rest. It was discouraging, but I think it will take time to get my body used to running in the morning. Plus, we just ran last night. I'm hoping to get to bed earlier tonight (I got 7 hours of sleep last night) and do better tomorrow morning. |
