Miles Ran: 236.79 Dollars Raised: $1,117.40
I am wrapping up my night feeling SO good! Despite the ridiculously rainy day, I couldn't believe it was in the 50's and felt like spring. It's so deceiving for the end of January. It makes me want this weather right now, skipping these 20's and 30's days.
I was happy to figure out my running schedule for the next two weeks, since I'll be away in VT on weekends. Thursdays are going to be a BLAST. 4/5 mile runs before work...and then 10 mile runs after work... Gotta do whatchya gotta do!
But tonight after work! I made my way to TWO Marathon Sports stores just to feed into the craze that is marathon gear. Yes, I want every part of it. It's kind of even more of a motivation in a way, to run in something that symbolizes my goal, as strange as that may sound... AFTER I finish the marathon, I'm probably going to want to plaster "26.2" and "Boston Marathon" on every piece of clothing, furniture, shoe, car that I own.. haha I really liked these pieces though because they're different from what I own, and I'm planning to incorporate the 3/4 tights into my Disney Princess outfit.For once! I was completely in the zone at the gym. With my shorter runs I'm going to start working on speed--which I was really happy with tonight. I just got into a great groove, with good tunes, and worked my way up to 8 mph for the last mile, and increased up to 9.5 by the end. One thing that's good about not being able to watch the tv in front of me is that I can see my reflection and make sure that my form is in check. After I finished I wasn't ready to turn off my pumping music, so I just jogged for another .75 miles at a slower pace.
And I always love finishing my workout with two things: squash boys and basketball boys!
