Interesting way to think of sweating. Might not mind it so much next time.
Today's "3-mile Easy Run," or actually, 3.1-mile run, as it turned out, went much better than Saturday's run. Somewhere between mile two and three, however, it started to get tough. It was heating up, my leg muscles were getting tight, and the sweat was pouring off of me.
Got.to.get.up.earlier.to.run.
I finally looked through all the information yesterday from the race packet of the 5K Race I ran in April (do I procrastinate, or what?), and discovered that there is another 5K race on June 9; however, the cost to register would be much higher than most ~ $70 at this point, since I missed early registration. It sounds like it would be a nice run, on the beach, but I just don't know if I want to shell out $70 to run my butt off. The women do get a nice necklace just for finishing, but I don't know... we'll see.
In September there's a 10K run. I'll have to think about that one. Would I be ready for a 10K that soon? Do I even want to run a 6.2 mile race yet? Right now running just 4 miles seems daunting to me. (Still need to get that ipod, by the way.) We'll see how I progress through the summer.
Running has its challenges. But I love it. And I love how it brings out the tougher side of me. The side that wants to win. Not for the glory, but for the challenge. Several months ago, an injury threatened to stop me for good, but I wouldn't let go until I found a way back. 19 days of re-training later--on Easter Sunday 2012--I was back to running 5K. Join me as I progress from here, I'd love your feedback about your own experiences!
