Duration: 56:01
Run/Walk: 4/1
Pace: 5.7-5.8
Distance: 5.0 miles
Not surprisingly, I had the gym to myself this morning at 5:30am! I had an awful night and was too anxious to lay on the couch waiting for sleep that wasn't going to happen, so, the gym it was. It felt tremendous to have 5 miles under my belt by 6:30am--on a holiday, no less! Besides, I skipped the workout yesterday and drank and ate a lot (why does happy hour always turn into an entire evening?!?), so my body needed it.
My right knee was killing me when I reached the 2.5 miles, so I thought I would only run 3, but then I got a boost of energy that carried me through another 2.5 miles besides the pain.
And can I just point out, umm...5 MILES!?!?!? I've never done that in my life. I guess I better get used to it, because I said the same thing when I reached 4 miles!

Countdown to Seattle 2008 Half Marathon
About This Blog
I will be running in the Seattle Half-Marathon on November 30th, optimistically thinking that means I will be in shape for my 25th birthday (which happens to be the same day). 1,889 miles away in Houston, my sister Kelly, the athletic one in the family and marathon veteran, is keeping me honest and tracking my progress.
Locally I will be participating in Seattle Fit. Thanks to them, I will have a training schedule, a running group, and no fun on Friday nights (we start early on Saturdays!).
