102 Degrees

102 Degrees + 5 Mile Run = The Opposite of Fun

*Tap Tap* Hello? Saint Louis? IT’S SEPTEMBER.

That is all.

Recovery

I don’t know why they call it a “recovery run” – that didn’t help at all!

Back to the regular 1/2 marathon training schedule tomorrow…

Running Race Debut

Ran my first ever running race today, a 6K. Guess what? I PR’d it. (I’m hilarious, I know.)

I was aiming for a 9 minute mile pace, but blew through the first mile in 7:56 and felt so good that I figured I’d just keep going. I finished the 6K in 29:58, which is just over an 8 minute mile pace! Nothing like a race to show you what you’re capable of.

Now I’m going to sleep for 12 hours. Someone please tell my kids not to wake up at 5:30am like normal. Pretty please?
