A First January 25, 2009

Today I ran 4.1 miles in 45 minutes.  First time I’ve ran over 3.5 miles.  It felt so good.  It was a good run as opposed to a run where I felt tired the whole time.   I was really looking forward to this run but, as always, the closer it got I got nervous.  So weird.  I just have a little apprehension before every run now or even workouts sometime.  I wonder if that’ll go away?  But I’m feeling good for having run that today.  During my run I was thinking of when I was doing the couch to 5K running plan and when I was running 30 second increments.  It a good feeling knowing how far I’ve come.  Oh and a really good sign today was that my shins did NOT hurt at all.  Thank you Lord.   

 

So I was talking with my husband last night about running a race with me.  When he first said he would he said he’d run with me.  But I told him last night that I do want him to run the race with me but I want him to run his own pace.  I think mentally it would hinder me having him run at a snail’s pace next to me (it’d make me feel wimpy knowing he’s not even breaking a sweat).  But I’d love having him there doing his own thing and meet me at the finish line.    That way it’s a fun challenge for both of us too.  He can push himself and run as fast as he wants and see how well he does and me too. 

 

So right now our son is wrestling.  Haven’t heard yet how he’s doing.  Jake’s on call that’s why we can’t be there.  We’re getting ready to go to our home group (through church).  I always love home group.  And we’re having taco salads and I’m going to enjoy every single bite.  Ha ha. 

 

Onward!
