Who would have thought 11 weeks ago I would run 5.1 miles on my birthday... Not me! But I did today.
Not sure what type of training to do this week...kind of a crazy week for training so I am winging it. Which gave me the idea of trying to run 5.1 on the day I turn 51.
First of all, I am signed up for a 4 mile run on Saturday and I have never run 4 miles without walking so I wanted to see if I could do it. Then I realized I won't be able to do my long run this weekend since we will be travelling back from Chicago from a wedding. I will get some sort of run in but not sure if it will be 8 miles. I decided that I would try for 5.1 today. I ran 5.1 and then had my cool down walk so that's why it reads 5.3. Again my 5.1 ended at Mom and Dad's house.
I was determined to go 4 miles today, but wasn't sure if I would make my 5.1 goal. I kept reminding myself to go slow and steady. When I reached 4 miles...I pushed myself to try to go 5....my routes were a little off so I wasn't sure when I would hit 5 miles, but it turned out it was pretty much on target.
It was a gorgeous day out today and I am so glad I was able to get out and run today. Now I won't feel so bad going and having a great dinner out tonight and maybe dessert too! :-)
