Okay, so I was shooting for 6 miles and just about died at the 5, and decided to stop there. The good news is that this is the farthest that I have ever ran in my life! So that makes me feel really good, but on the other hand, I discovered tonight that running is really hard for me! Don't get me wrong, I completely love to run now (first time I have ever said that) but it is truly a challenge for me. Normally I will do some leg and arm and ab strength training after my runs, but not tonight, I am beat!
I do think that hearing others talk about running and their goals and distances totally motivates me. Just this week, my friend MaryAnne ran her 11 miles in training for St. George and my friend Laurie ran her 13 for her's in Hawaii (way to go girls!) and Steve called me from St. Louis tonight and told me that he had just finished an hour run (love ya babe!), so how could I not try for my longest after all that?! So, thanks guys!
Just a little ending moral to all of this rambling - Set your goals high, but give yourself plenty of time to achieve them!!! (Don't you worry, I will be ready for next years Marathon and 1/2 Marathon in April!)
By the way as a little side note - Cader's scored his third goal today at his soccer game!! - Love ya Buzz! :)
