Ok, ladies. It has taken me about 30 minutes to figure out how to post on this website. I am NOT ashamed, although I probably should be. But since I still purchase a calendar with fun facts in the back every year from Target when school starts, this is par for the course. :)
I am so happy that everyone is getting out there and making a real effort with this. 13. 1 miles is no joke! But, we can do this! :) And as a person who took the bar so many times that the proctors and lunch ladies started to high five me when I walked through the door, giving up is NOT an option! :)
Now, that I have gotten the pep talk out of the way, let me be honest. My 6 mile run yesterday made me call on the 10lb sweet baby Jesus! lol I was like, "Now, is there a small child on my back?, Are my thighs growing so that I have my own little rain forest going on?, Is there a small panda bear sitting on my chest?" Geesh! The first 3 miles were cool but then I looked down and realized that I was running a 12 minute mile! What the hell?!! And ,you ladies that are able to run out in the cold are hardcore! Rock on with that! I certainly don't have the lung capacity for the thin air and I pray that March is humid like I am used to! :)
I know we are committed to pushing through our pain and our injuries to receive our medals, t-shirts and of course, the coveted 13.1 sticker that will go directly above my Obama/Biden sticker! Only "runners" even get it so get ready to make some new friends at the intersections and grocery store parking lots! :) And really, how hot are you to even be able to say you were able to do that? VERY HOT!! Work it ladies!!
Ciao!!

Ok...I'm totally ok with the 12 minute mile! I'm at that exact pace! LOL! I keep saying to myself, endurance first, THEN speed (this is what all the training manuals keep telling me), but I have TOTALLY made peace with the fact that a 12 minute mile may just be what it is!! As long as I am MOVING, I will consider that a victory!!! :)
