Last Sunday was the QC Marathon. A group of 5 of us did the relay event. I ran the last leg – not because I would be a strong finisher, but because I didn’t want to run any of the 6 1/2 mile legs and Jennifer put dibs on the 3.2 mile leg right away. What I ran was 4.63 miles and it took me 43:32. If my math skills are correct, I think that averages out to a little less than 9:30/mile. That may be a slow jog to many, but to me that is hauling a**! And I actually thought I was going to puke when I was done – I didn’t, but I really thought I was going to!! Three of the other people in the relay are very fit and good runners – Jennifer & I were really out of our league, but it was fun! I looked at the marathon website and we got 5th place in the women’s division. There were only 12 entries, but at least we were still in the top half!
Continuing my week of health/fitness, I met with Danelle for my first personal training session. I really liked it. After Becca was born, Candy & I did some personal training sessions and regularing did strength training. I always enjoyed it, so I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things. I didn’t make it back to the Y today to do my workout again like I was supposed to, but my schedule is crazy for the next week so I’m doing what I can.
Wish me luck!!!
I think you did awesome. WAAAAY more ambitious than me! I think I may call Danielle Monday……..can no longer use being pregnant as an excuse.
