10 & a sigh of relief - gerlinda

i got my bootie up early saturday morning & ran 10 miles on the freedom parkway trail. it was cold! i wore a long sleeved shirt & hat for the first time - and i wish i'd had gloves! but, thank goodness, it was a great run. i was pretty fast too...i ran it in 1:32 and i'm pretty sure i did the whole 10 miles...i was within a 10th or so, at least. i like running in the cold. and i like seeing the sun come up.

the training is starting to get pretty intense now...my schedule this coming week is 4-7-4-16 (the long run is actually 15, but i'm going to try and go longer b/c i want to work up to at least 23-24 miles before the actual event, even though the schedule only goes up to 20...)

i've realized, in order to make it work, i'm really going to have to focus on the running - the way i focused on boot camp back in the day. i'm going to have to force myself out of bed early, eat right, sleep enough, moderate... so, wish me luck on that!
