I went for a run this morning.
Nothing new, I've been trying to run 4 to 5 times a week, before Cameron leaves for the day. The route I've been running is 4.8 k (or 3 miles.)
But last night, I went to Marlo's to scrapbook (lots of fun!) and before I left, we checked out some routes on map my run.
So this morning, I decided to change my route up a bit and try a different one. I ran up the hill and back through the golf course. I couldn't quite remember exactly what we'd mapped out, and I didn't want to run less than my regular route, so I went a little further than what we'd mapped to be on the safe side.
My knee felt really good (lots of prayer there!) and I ran the whole thing. No walking. No stopping.
Now, I'm home and stretched and cooled down and I checked my route again on the site.
It was 7.26 km (or 4.5 miles)!!!!
DANG GIRL! you go! that is awesome! i totally admire you for that distance.
ReplyDeleteyay for you! i use to walk 3-4 miles and loved how it made me feel. i never was much of a runner as i could never find the right bra gear for my larger chest...haha
ReplyDeleteWell done you!!! I only get as far as putting my running shoes on and then think "nah, too much effort"
ReplyDeleteWow, go you! My DH is a runner and I wish I enjoyed it, but no matter how hard I try, I just suffer through it whenever I go, lol. I'm so impressed that you ran that far!
ReplyDeletewoohoo!!!! Way to go. I knew you could do it! You are so ready! (Me on the other hand......not so ready!) marlo
ReplyDeleteHoly smackers! That's terrific! I wish I had a running partner (aka-someone to haul my butt around town). Have 2 girls down the street who run, but they've never asked if I want to join. So I'm an occasional runner, mostly walker! I see marathons in your future at this rate, girl...and I'm not talkin' the pizza joint! Congrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Leigh! WTG!
