Run 50 min

Run for 50 min?! Yup. I was excited to do this, but a bit nervous too. I haven't run for that amount of time for 3 years. Could I do this?

Well, I started off strong. It wasn't easy, but I did it! I felt so good for making it the full 50 min without stopping. I'm sure it wasn't pretty, but who cares. It was 72 degrees, sunny, with 15 mph winds. Nice run weather.

I iced my back down after the run. I could feel this one in my back. Motrin will be my friend for the next few days. The ice really helped me though.

After I showered, I headed out to my hammock to read the Chi of Running. The hammock is tied to one of our crabapple trees, which is just starting to bloom. It was so relaxing. Skeeter would check up on me every so often, with a nudge to my butt. At least I knew he was still there. My time had to come to an end though. Rain clouds were forming overhead, so I pack up and headed inside.




What a great day!

OMG! 50 minutes!! That's FANTASTIC, Deeann! You've accomplished so much in a short time. I'm so glad you're embracing all this work to reach your goals and I suspect you're starting to have fun with it too?

20 days to the race! Can't wait.
