I Can Do Hard Things

48 minutes - 4.25 miles

3 min walk - 7 min run

4x 2 min run to 8 min walk

I've been a bit MIA lately, but thankfully, I'm still getting my running in and my ankle is feeling great.

 I was invited to be a vendor at 3 different holiday boutiques to sell my childrens clothing.  When I went to drop off a few samples, I received FIVE custom dress orders and I just received a package from a pattern designer from the Bay area to sew all her samples for the Houston quilt market. 

I've been in my sewing studio all day and night; my hubby calls it the sweat shop.  So many good things are happening - tender mercies!

 Here is what I have been up too (these are just a few).: (I am totally tooting my own horn, and don't mean too, but I can't believe people actually like my stuff)

50 minutes - 4.49 miles

2 min walk to 8 min run X 5

Ankle feels really great.  I've noticed the slower I run, the better it is...so slow it is (for now)

WALK/RUN - 4.33 miles 42:47 minutes (2 min walk to 8 min run - I think I ready to gradually increase to 1 - 9)

BIKE: 8 miles 32:26 minutes

I always run so much faster outside and really had to control my speed (not that I'm all that fast).  But when I go alittle slower, my ankle feels better.

I'm SO FLIPPIN' slow on the bike.  I tried to hit every big hill in AF to make the best of the amount of time I had.  So so so slow.....

Back to sewing :)

WALK/RUN - 4.47 miles - 50 minutes

2 x (2 min walk to 8 min run)

1 x (1 min walk to 9 min run)

2 x (2 min walk to 8 min run)

My ankle feels so great!  I think there are a few contributing factors:  I've been running really slow - 10:30ish miles (really really slow), but it is keeping my ankle happy!  Also, my mind has been elsewhere (not as focused/obsessed on running).  Regardless, I feel good and am progressing. 

Off to take my kids to a hotel for the night for fall break!  It will be a good break for everyone!

46 minutes - 4.6 miles

2 x (2 min walk to 8 min run)

1 x (1 min walk to 9 min run) 

1.5 x (2 min walk to 8 min run)

Ran at the treadmill at the hotel.  I could feel the "happy hour" popcorn and Coke still lingering in my tummy.  But I felt really good - even bumped up the speed a little.  I still can't believe how good my ankle feels.  Finally progressing and moving forward!
