I'm training for a half marathon which will be on May 7th.
I'm ashamed to say that I've known about it for 3 months now and I am still behind on my training schedule.
I have some excuses
1. It's cold.
2. I have a baby to care for and a husband in law school.
3. It's cold.
Skylar came home early yesterday so I could go to the gym, I was so excited I ran out of the house and forgot to tape my leg, so I was only able to run 1 mile then had to do the rest of my time on the elliptical.
Boo.
Skylar came home early again today so I could try again, I did remember to tape my leg this time, but my car was so covered in ice and it took me so long just to leave my driveway that I lost about 10 minutes of my precious running time, then I had to wait another 5 minutes to get on a treadmill at the gym. (lame!)
So there's good news and bad news about tonight's run.
Good news, I was able to run!
Bad news, I didn't run my goal of 4 miles.
Good news, I did run 3.8 miles at my fastest time yet.
Mind you, my fastest run is rather pathetic to one who truly may call themselves a runner. My average speed was 9:30 m/m. I usually run at about a 10:40 m/m.
So, being short legged, overweight and inherently slow, a 9:30 minute/mile average was pretty freakin awesome for me.
