A quick update. After a horrible first try at running outdoors. I went again this morning armed with Jenna and her fancy dancy GPS watch. Having something to help keep me at the pace I'm used to made a HUGE difference. I was able to finish 3 miles with only a couple short breaks for water and stretching, and a small, maybe 1/8 mile walk during the last 1/2 mile.
I'm feeling a LOT better about the race next week now, I'm still a little nervous but at least I know 3.1 miles isn't completely out of reach. The plan this week is to skip the treadmill and do 4 runs out doors, taking Saturday off to recoup and then running for the Philly Fit 5k on Sunday.
Wish me luck!
Thanks for checking out my blog. Some of the posts are long and others short, some of them meaningful, others.. not so much. Feel free to read as little or as much as you want, all I ask is you take the time to leave a comment and let me know you were here!
