3rd Run. Tuesday, August 16th was successful! I made it all the way...full 3.1 miles. My goal was to just go the 5k path we've mapped out around our neighborhood and make it up the first big hill in the last mile. But, at 65 degrees F and low humidity (plus new running shoes), a little extra endurance seemed to be on my side. All in just 35 minutes. I was happy.
4th Run. Thursday, August 18th...can I say this?...Damn, I hate humidity. It was low 70's with a lot more humidity, and I was sweating like I just took a shower. I did make it all 3.1 miles again (yay!), but it was harder this morning. And, I really hate that last mile. Here's how it goes....first mile (for me anyways) always sucks. Just hate it. Going into the second mile, I start to feel good. That last third with 3 intense hills...h-a-t-e...i-t!!! Time. 40 minutes today. But, I felt good when it was over. (Of course!) No, but really, it feels like I accomplish something before the day gets going and that is rewarding.
Tomorrow...leg workout, and then off to Vegas baby! Something tells me working out in Sin City is going to be hard. But I will try to be good ;-) ...technically, I still need to get one more run in this week.
5k Race: 23 days and counting.
I am so proud of you and Vladi! Keep up the good work. Perhaps this is a precursor to next July?
ReplyDeleteI thought I didn't mind the humidity until we moved up here. It's 50%RH all the time and it is terrific!
