Weekend Update

Since there hasn't been a new post since Curtis' post on Monday, I thought I'd give a little update for the week. Thais was in town this week and even ran a couple of times while here. Go Thais! Since she was in town, we all got together yesterday evening at Ross' house and had some pizza and a nice visit.

I ran a couple of times this week. After my "long" 6 mile run on Sunday, I did 4 miles on Monday. I can really feel my endurance getting better. The 4 miles seemed pretty easy whereas a month ago, 4 miles was a big run for me. And I ran sub-9 minute miles! Barely...8:57 average. Still, I was impressed w/myself. I don't intend to run the half-marathon at that pace as I'd never make it 13 miles, but I think it's definitely helping build up my stamina and endurance.

Then I ran 5 miles on Wednesday. At this point the 15 miles for the week began catching up with me and my calves were pretty sore by the time I finished. So I decided I should give it a rest until the weekend.

So Sue (who ran 7.5 miles yesterday!) and I are going to do a long run together tomorrow. I hope we can do 10 miles. We were planning on going to Hefner which has an 11 mile track around the lake, but it's looking like it's going to be pretty windy (again) and that would make it especially windy around the lake. So we may just end up going to the park where Sue usually runs. She said it has a 2.5 mile trail so we can do a few laps there.

Two weeks from today! It's coming up quick!
