So, remember the other day when I said I wanted to find a HM to train for? To help me get out of my funk? The only one I could find on a Saturday was a 2 ½ hr drive. BUT, then I realized I wasn’t looking in all the right places.
Yesterday I found one – on a Saturday! – only 1 ½ hrs away. But it is on March 24th. 8 WEEKS! Can I be ready that soon?
You bet I can!
It’s official. I’m registered.
I already laid this out on my C25K Graduates team, but I’m so excited I’m going to go over it again.
I’ve been feeling like I missed out on so much running while I was sick & then when I felt better I couldn’t get back into it, BUT in reality I didn't miss that much. Here are my LSR miles since December:
12/3: 7
12/10: 8
12/17: 8
12/24: 9
1/2: 9
1/7: 8
1/14: My drought happened & I missed a LSR
1/21: 4
I only missed 2 LSRs (I'm not going to count that 4 on 1/21) & 2 shorter runs. That’s it! What felt like ages, really wasn’t.
I’m glad I kept up with longer distances after my HM. I can sooooo be ready to have a great race on March 24th. 8 WEEKS!
My other HM I ended up dehydrated & had a horrible race. This time, I know how to prepare & I plan on finishing 20 minutes faster.
Another great thing is hubby is going to be there. He won’t be running, but he’ll be there!
Ha!
I’m so excited!
Woo Hoo!
Oh! I almost forgot - I'll be running over the Mississippi River. It's an out & back so I'll cross it twice. I think it will be flat everywhere except going up the bridge each time.
Tomorrow is a run day - think I'll have a little pep in my step?
Woot! Woot!
