Been lazy....
Ok I admit, I've been very lazy! I haven't written...not to mention I haven't really run.
It's been getting harder and harder to have to will power to just go out and run in the cold. I admit that once I start running my body temp increases and I'm not so cold anymore. It's just the initial getting out and on the move that I'm having a hard time with.
Ran last night in 20 something degree weather. I actually saw flurries of snow! Thank goodness we ran though. I shot a text to Marielle earlier in the day saying "We need to run"...and she was like "Let's go tonight." SO she met me at my house at 8:15pm and we ran! Boy did we run. Apparently it was 4 miles according to mapmyrun. Marielle seems to think it was more. We did great tho. A fast 10 minute mile for the first mile...then only walked here and there for the rest.
I also ran on Friday of last week. It was probably the earliest run I've done yet. I was working an overnight for work so I was in the city. I started on the upper east side, running next to the Central Park Resivoir. Man was it COLD! I did it tho. That ended up being a beautiful run, and I know exactly where I'd be running regularly if I lived in the city. It's mostly flat in elevation and made it for a good run. 1.70 miles (a short one).
The running is getting a bit easier, but it would be nice to find some sort of flat location to run. The hills make it a bit challenging. I'm looking forward to running in Florida over Christmas break.
We have 79 days until the race. Only at 4 miles. We must pick it up! Need to discipline myself and steadily run 3 days a week. NO more fooling around.
Switching up the schedule for now. Running with Marielle Monday and Wednesday nights after work. Then we will need to start with longer times of running. We did 45 minutes last night. It's going to take us somewhere in the 2.45 hour range for the race...so we totally need to get ourselves there!
New maps will follow this post.
I promise to have a new post by Thursday (after my Wednesday night run with M).
