Wow. Only 5 weeks of training left. I've come a long way since Aug 6. I can actually run 3 miles straight; each week I'm able to push myself a little more; I can walk up the stairs without huffing & puffing!; the clothes are fitting better. It's been good - a few rough days but good :)
Last Saturday's practice was to be 18 miles. Coach Eric pulled me after 12 because my knee hurt and I wasn't hiding it well. Plus Laurie ratted me out...it was a good thing she did. I'm to the point now where I was bummed I couldn't finish the run. I'm supposed to take it easy this week so I can do the 20 mile run on the 19th.
This weekend I'm in the New Times 10k. A 10k is 6.2 miles - doesn't seem like much after our training sessions and the YMCA Half. It will be fun though to participate in a bigger race (this one attracts several thousand). Plus the coaches have told us to push ourselves a little more for the 6.2 and see what we can do. It's going to be interesting......
