Up until yesterday it would have made more sense to say "walking + running". But yesterday morning I crossed over the threshold of running more than I'm walking.
Now, I was really nervous about it because yesterday was the start of week 4 and the total running jumped from 10 minutes, at the end of week 3, to 14 minutes. But just like the other times when I've been nervous, I did just fine. My legs even felt the best they have felt since beginning this program a.k.a my calves weren't on fire.
I'm progressing well and I'm even getting a little faster. I'm attributing a lot of that to rest days {from running} and my mix of cross training, weight training, and yoga on those rest days. I've even gotten brave and have signed up for a 10k that ends a week after my 10k Runner program ends. Perfect timing! I'm not expecting to be super fast but I am excited about running in an actual race to hopefully see my hard work pay off... even if it's only in the form of a t-shirt. ;)
And speaking of t-shirts, Steve will be thrilled to see some new shirts make their way into our closet. I have a horrible habit of hanging on to them until they turn into nothing but threads but I will gladly replace some old race shirts with new ones. It's a win-win for everyone.
Last but not least, I'm waiting to see if I got into the Nike Women's half in DC... it's a lottery and so far no word but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
Thinking happy thoughts...
