Well I did it. September 23, 2007

Posted by Staci in : Running , 1 comment so far   

I registered for the Eugene Half-Marathon. I am insane. What was I thinking? Oh goodness I am now committed to running 13.1 miles in a state I have to take a plane to get to. My family won’t be able to come with me, so I will be traveling alone. There will be some folks from the 30’s online running group I belong to, so I won’t be totally alone, but the thought of what I just commit ed to doing is making me very nervous and a bit worried.

Well I got a tv for the exercise room yesterday and I will say it helped with tonights run. I was able to take the focus off the fact I was running in place and put it on the tv.

Overall this was a really good run. Only 2 miles but I am happy with it. My legs are a bit sore, but nothing some stretching won’t take care of.

2 miles in 32:30 minutes
Avg pace - 16:15

Mile 1 pace 16:31

Mile 2 pace 15:58

Ok half my family is not speaking to me, my home internet connection is down again, when my internet is up KR where I talk with my running group is down, my run tonight was horrible, and I just feel very worthless, un-happy and hopeless right now. I know all that will pass, but for the moment it just seems like nothing is going my way. I don’t like it when I get in these moods, and I know I will be fine in a day or two, I just have to wait it out.

This felt really good right up until the very end. I think I could have gone for a longer distance, but holding at 3 miles seemed like a good idea. I have one more week of 3 mile runs and then I will start to add a bit more distance to my Saturday run each week. I am starting to really beleive I can manage that half in May. I might not be able to run the whole thing, but I will be able to run a good portion if I manage to figure out how to pace myself outside. That will be worked on when the weather gets a bit cooler here.

This was a pretty good run. I was actually going to stop at 2.5 miles so I hit the lap button at that time. Then I decided I still felt pretty good so I finished the full 3. I am seeing improvement in almost every run I do. That makes me happy. My speed is still a snails pace, but that is alright with me.
