Latter part of my week and early part of the after-holiday week

So I finished the week out strong. Everything I had set out to do I did on the previous post. However, the order in which I did the run turned out a bit differently. On Saturday, I was nauseous and dizzy at work so I did not think running that day would be smart. I intended on just pushing it back until Sunday morning or so. Well, when dad asked if I wanted to run the 5k, I thought well I know that I will run sometime during the weekend. it turned out that we did run in the race on Monday and I placed 3rd! Shocking! So, here are some pictures.

 

So this week I have had a rough start. The ride home was brutal to my alertness and I have not been able to fully recover. I am hoping to get something done today. Maybe some pushups and I will just miss the Tuesday run and pick up tomorrow.

Not Much

I haven't run much this week. Ran 3 miles this week, Thur, in 26.05. It was a blistering 97 degrees, 102 heat factor! First running in a week.

It's official....training has started!

Ozark Race for the Cure

Today I had a good race time. I was excited and I had taken some Immodium so I was good to go in that area. So, I started off well and after about the 1.5 mile mark started to walk and run intermixed. I would have done better I feel if I would have either had my watch on with my virtual partner or had a partner to run with me. Oh well! It was a lot of fun and I had just about the right pace time that I was hoping for. I am really excited about training for the Marathon now! I needed this race. I did it in honor of my lovely and loving Mother-In-Law.

Run after the rain

Wow it feels like it has been awhile since I ran or done much of anything. Finally, it stopped raining long enough for me to get a run in for a day. I tried to make it worth it. I got home and immediately changed. I was determined to get it finished. So, off I head. I ran downtown and wanted to run 45 minutes (I did and even exceeded). As I was running I was trying to decide my path. I knew if needed I could stop at the Arvest on New Hope and on the way there were plenty of places just in case. So, I ran down the main road and where there was no sidewalk, the grass had a visible trail I could use.

All-in-all a good run. My 5k race time would be about a 34-minute finish. Not too bad. I might could push for a 32-minute time. We shall see. The race has more hills involved. If I do not post before, wish me luck.
