OK...took a few days off from blogging because of packing, my garage sale, my last day at work, oh, and because my computer is packed, but my roommate has allowed me to log on to do a little update. :)
Ran my longest run to date! Check out the stats below...
It was actually nicely surprising that at about 25km I had lots of energy, my legs were ok, and I was enjoying myself! I bought new shoes on Friday, and re-calibrated my IPOD so the run is far more accurate, and I think the change in footwear really helped. However, at about 31km I just about died. My poor body - my cardio was fine, but my legs began to seize up - it was painful, and my last three km's were dreadful. I basically ran out of steam...but I finished it!
Today was the longest run that I will do before the run on Sept 16 - from here on in we begin to taper off, so next Sunday I will run only 21km and then the following is 15km. I am hoping to train with the team in NYC which will be a great way to meet new people and stay motivated!
Today was also my last run with the team. :( I'm going to miss everyone! I leave on Wednesday for NY, so it's sad to be saying goodbye. This has been such a great experience, and I am so proud of everyone and all that they have accomplished. There are some people that I won't get to see again because they are running in SF not on Maui...but there is a great group who I will see again on Sept 14th! I can't wait! It feels as though we are in the final stretch and I am really looking forward to both the run...and the cocktails in the pool afterwards!!!!
Well this is it for a few days - the next time I post I will be living in NY. See you then!
