Saturday, 11/21/09 was a rough run for me. We did 4 miles, down 4th street again. From Fleet Feet to the railroad tracks and back. I hadn't ran for a week. The 7 days between was busy with work travel and I don't even remember what else.
This week I vowed to stay more on track. I went to the gym tonight and did 3 1/2 miles on the elliptical. Hope that makes me more prepared for tomorrow's group run.

5K to 10K. Double-fun?!?
Late summer of 09 I joined a No Boundaries program through Fleet Feet and started training for a 5K. Twelve weeks later I crossed the finish line in 39:39. Not a great time, but I FINISHED!
Two weeks later I signed up for a 10K, also through Fleet Feet.
I've been training for about 2 weeks now. 10 weeks to go until I (hopefully) cross the finish line again. Double the distance, will it be double-fun?!
I wish I would have blogged during my 5K training. I hope to post at least once a week on this so I don't regret not blogging the 10K.
Saturday (11/14) we ran 3.5 miles. Weather was pretty good. There were lots of hills, ups and downs, on our route which I hadn't ran before. I didn't push myself like I did Tuesday (in the rain) but it was still a decent run.
With each new sport comes a new reason to shop. Maybe that's why I'm still training. ha! Tuesday was a cold, wet day. I splurged and bought the Under Armor cold gear pants I'd been eying at Dick's. I think it was a worthy investment (do you hear the reassuring tone?). I was super glad to have them because the moisture wicking material kept my legs dry and warm even while the rain was pouring.
Check back in later this week to see if I'm following the training program.
