The weather has been grey and gloomy lately (which I actually like) and also happens to be perfect weather for running. I ran a pretty standard 5K today, cruising along all the while. I was pretty pumped at the end of it to find out that I had run at exactly a 9’40” pace meaning that the total time run was exactly 30 minutes!

I started my 10th book of the year today as well! If there’s one thing this running challenge has done it’s provided dedicated time to listen to books on audio. I listen during every run 😄

I ran a blazing fast 5K (for me) just two days after my half. After forcing myself to run four times this distance on Saturday, running 3 felt like a breeze.

Totally just took it easy today after yesterday’s half marathon. I feel great mentally, physically, and internally. My legs are a little bit sore, but I definitely felt like I would have been okay to run today. Logic simply dictates that an easy day of walking after a day like yesterday is the smart thing to do 😄. I’ll be back after it tomorrow.

My First Half Marathon

Today Me, Kristen, and our two dogs set out to the local park with a half mile track where I ran 13.11 miles in just under 2 and a half hours. I’m so thankful that I had them as a little pit crew, and I have to once again give a nod to the pizza I very purposely ordered last night for this explicit purpose.

Aerobically I felt absolutely fine throughout each and every mile as I scored really nice splits ranging from 9’45” through about 11’50”. After about 8 miles my shins, knees, and hips were feeling it but running on the grass next to the track seemed to help a lot.

I stopped because I was done, but I felt like I could have definitely went further, and I’m looking forward to challenging myself at the end of the 100 days with a full 26.2 miles. I know what I need to be successful: my pit crew, and an extra large pizza!

Total Miles: 139.27 in 51 days.
