I ran today - third day in a row! It was 75 degrees and it felt HOT. Becky and I ran 3 mins with a 1 or 2 min. walk break for a half hour. It was encouraging to know that my pace group will probably be a 3:1 or 3:2 ratio so I'll just have to keep up what I did today for 13 miles...haha. That was the daunting thought. 13 miles and late summer heat. It's hard to imagine that I'll be doing this in a few months but I am SO excited. I'm also so excited to have a day off of running tomorrow. I'm a bit sore - my left knee hurts a bit and my right hip was popping while I was walking today but was ok while I was running. Those are my common running issues so hopefully as I continue those will work themselves out through cross training etc.
On fun training gear news : My water belt and blister free socks arrived today. I NEVER thought I'd wear a "fanny pack" but I tried on one to hold my water bottle and "snacks" along the way and the one I bought isn't too bad. I'm just trying not to think about how I look while running and just focus on functionality of it. My new blister free WrightSocks are the most expensive socks I've ever purchased. Normally I get 5 pairs for what this one pair cost! I can't wait to try out my new gear though! I'm still waiting for my Timex Ironman watch to come in the mail. The next big purchase will be my running sneakers!!!
