I said I would do 6 miles at South Mountain today. I lied. I did 4.8. It was a great 4.8 though. There were lots of hills, the reason we were there, and I did a mostly consistent run 3/walk 2 for the entire first 2.4. I arrived at the marker 36:30 into my run (walk) and turned around. I continued the pattern of running 3/walking 2 for five minutes. At 42:00, I began running and continued until arriving back at my car at 1:09. That makes 27 minutes of straight running. By far the most I've done since starting my training. And it felt great!
In totally unrelated news, I was witness to a beautiful wedding this afternoon. My friends Shawn and Mindy got married in a small wedding that was just perfect for them. Mindy's dad performed the ceremony in a quick 10 minutes. It was wonderful! I am so incredibly happy for the both of them. It was a long time coming, but they have founded this marriage with much work and prayer, and I know that they will be a beautiful example of a loving husband and wife!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with your training! I'm training for my first marathon in October. It certainly is a fun challenge. I'll be sure to stop back by to check on your progress.
May the Force by with you!
