Now I think I know why I've been so lazy the past few days. I was really getting mad at myself for being so lazy. But I think I was just worn down from this cold that's been lingering for over a week. This morning I woke up w/ a really sore throat and swollen glands. I got a cold about 10 days ago and for awhile it seemed like it was going away, but now its gotten worse! So I slept in, but I'm determined to get in at least 5 miles today, even if they're really slow & ugly! So Michelle, although I was considering Painter's 1/2, now with the cold getting worse I'm really leaning toward the 5k. I wasn't 1/2 ready anyway, but this throws another wrench in the whole deal. But I do think you girls are ready Michelle & Lybi- you have both averaged over 125 mi. for Dec and been quite consistent. You girls ROCK!!! I'm glad you have eachother to do the race with, it will be fun!!
UPDATE:
VERY happy with my run today. Now if I can just remember how good this feels more often maybe it would help me be more consistent! Decided to just go on a solo run, Me, the IPOD & Garmin. I choose to do my favorite 5 miler and hopefully add on a mile and just go whatever pace I wanted- the goal was to have fun! It is beautiful here today! Sunny and probably in the 50's when I ran- t-shirt weather! I just cranked the music and let it carry me. 9:04 average pace, 6.34 miles. This is a VERY good run for me. splits: 9:04/9:21/9:05/9:13/9:10/8:38/8:44. I wonder what I can do to have more runs like this? I think I should plan to run solo at least 1x a week. I LOVE running w/ partners, but we chat so much I think it really slows us down.
