Well, I lost my ego today.
MB and I both have a packed day today and so we planned our run for 10:30 this morning. Of course, MB was on time, getting to my house at 10:15, but by the time I was ready to go (I was cleaning the kitchen and my running clothes were in the dryer), it was closer to 11:00. It was nice in the shade and there was a breeze, but for a large part of the run, in the middle, we were running directly into the sun.
So, my ego got soaked in a big ole puddle of sweat and refused to work anymore. I took my shirt off and was only running in my running pants and sports bra.
We continue to improve and I’m still looking forward to the time when we will give ourselves a break. I thought, for sure, that today’s numbers were gonna be a little worse because of the heat and I was making a point to slow down at times because I was just worn out, but no. Our time was much better.
Total Time: 42:12
Total Distance: 2.59
Total Pace: 16:18
Training Time: 36:40
Training Distance: 2.07
Training Pace: 15:12
We cut 20 seconds off of the training pace. Every day that the race gets closer, I am more and more eager for it. I can’t wait to see how we do. Just doing it again? I’m running again.
That’s the part that’s been sinking in lately. I’m running again.
