Nice late morning solo run. Sun was shining, gorgeous St. George day. Played "don't look at the Garmin" was wearing it but didn't want to be influenced by it. Just wanted to feel the groove. Ended up with 4 miles at 9 min. mile pace. Was suprised at how consistent my miles were- all 4 were just about 9 min miles within 5 second differences for each mile (if that makes sense)
Brent- what would I do without you! YES- I accept the challenge. How could I not? I only want to make one minor change to the challenge and you can deduct points as you see fit...I need to get in my weight class 1 day this week and possibly a spin class. So I'm committing to running 5 miles on 5 days out of 7 (not 5 in a row as was the original challenge). WOW- this is going to be tough for me- considering I hardly ever run over 4.25 miles lately and truly I'm doing cross training more than running lately (and not even much CT). But much needed. The weather is PURRRFECT down here, I need to train for the Zion's 10 k next month and I want to lose these frickin' 10 lbs. SO - YES! And THANK YOU for always inspiring me!! You're my lifeline on this blog!
Reading everyone's race reports has me jonesin' to race. I just found out the local Girl Scouts are doing a little 5k the first week of April. I'm going to register for that right now! (I miss the Cookie Chaser that I used to do up north) Think my son is going to run it also, so that will be fun.
