'Cause Saturday is a special day, it's the day we did a blogger running get together at Yogurtland! And can I say, I scarfed down the whole thing within minutes! And I didn't even get pics, so I'll live through all the others blog pictures like here and here cause I'm cool like that. I didn't even think of bringing my camera (I'm a retard!!) It was so fun meeting a bunch of new runners and bloggers and seeing others I haven't seen in a long time!!! (especially since I'm a slacker and don't go to boot camp anymore :( Megan your cookies were amazing!) And I wish I could have spent more time there and really got to talk to everyone. Heck I finally got to meet the infamous Hungry Runner Girl - Janae and I didn't even get to talk to her! One day....one day!!
So this mornings 9 mile run was a bust. I went out with my neighbor, who was on her 6 mile run in her half marathon training, and so I thought I would at least be able to do that! I sucked it up. I got a side stitch about 1 mile in and it SUCKS. At least I was able to run for a mile at time before stopping to walk for a second. I hate these side stitches. They are killing me. I NEED to figure out how to run in the mornings without getting them. Seriously - anytime I run outside at night, I'm totally fine. No problems! Yet the moment I go in the mornings, I get them. I have 5 weeks to test out every possible scenario to get it right for the half marathon!! So I made it 6 miles in 1:04 - not the best. So anyway all day I just wanted to get back out there and do the last 3. So I went out later tonight and it was SOOO windy - but I did a 1.25 with an 8:44 pace. It was amazing. I was huffing and puffing but I did it and felt great. I would have done more but the wind was kicking up dust....not so fun with contacts!
This next week is going to be another fun week:
M: Zumba
T: 5 mile
W: Zumba
R: 5 mile
S: 10 miles..this will be first week to reach the 20 mile mark. That's insane!
And no MATTER what - I will complete my 10 mile run. No more slacking...but that means I might be running at night. ; )
haha I always forget to take pictures, so thank goodness for Janaes blog! :) we should do a meet up for the UV half!! sorry you have stitches, I know how much those stink :( good luck on your 10 miler this week, I hope to read all about it! (how's that for motivation?)
