Here is the first of several blogs: Running
My mom and my aunt came down for almost a week to help me decorate the house. I was still able to get in decent mileage while they were here.
Friday I got in 5.5 miles and Saturday morning I got up bright and early to meet some friends up at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano. 6AM runs are early, but it was nice to beat the heat and get in some good miles. We did 8.75 miles and I felt great. I was a bit nervous because I wasn’t sure of what pace we were going to do or how serious everyone was going to be. We did a 6.6 mile route that they had mapped out. After that Megan and I did a loop inside the preserve. It was pretty hilly and when I made that comment Megan gave me the duh – it is called Arbor Hills. We took it easy and talked the whole way. I figured it was good practice for the Goofy Challenge. I need to learn to run with people. Yesterday I did an easy 2 miles just to make my total mileage for the month.
My run at Arbor Hills made me much more confident for my 15K this Saturday. However, I might have to revise my plan seeing as I can’t walk right now, much less run. I threw my back out hard-core. Thankfully I have absolutely nothing to do the next 3 days so I can rest! Me and the heating pad are going to be best buds!
