I ran both today and yesterday and for the past few runs I have noticed something that always happens. At about 22-24 mins (assuming its 2 miles) I always look at my watch and my mind says Stop Please, I cannot go on anymore. Every Time!.. Then once my legs convince my brain that I CAN go on, its like a different person gets into my body and wants to run. Yesterday I did about a 4 mile loop maybe more and was upset when I was running home because (cant believe Im even saying this) I wanted to run longer and would have if I didnt have to get ready for work.. I finally see how people can run 8 or 10 miles in one day because their minds surrender and their legs just run.
Yesterday I am proud to say I ran for 48:38 mins. AND I got to see my first live scorpion it was a long as my pinky and was crawling across the side walk by our park. I should have stepped on it, but knowing my luck I would have gotten stung, so I just let us all go on our merry ways.
Today I was suppose to go 40 mins, but the loop I went which is approx 3 miles took shorter than I thought. 35.02 mins to be exact! I could have ran (run, runned what ever the correct verbiage is there) longer but decided to quit early because the route I was on happens to be busiest road in my neighborhood and I thought I was going to die from the car fumes. Note to self: Keep to the side roads and non-busy areas to avoid bodily harm!
Tomorrow is bike day!!! yay- so funny that my excitement has dwindled a bit for biking and I would like to run tomorrow instead- maybe my love for the bike will come back once I get back in the saddle again (pun intended).
Oh I also convinced, inspired or maybe threatened a few friends to join Barb and I at Sole Sports at 7am on Saturday!!! muhahahaha.. my plan is working!
