I thought my first 4-mile run was this Monday, but when I looked at the training schedule again, I saw that it was next Monday (June 4). Ack. Well, this week will be my first week running 3 miles for all 3 days, at least.
I'm disappointed and relieved all at the same time. Just as well, though, as we have a tropical storm moving in tonight, and we're expecting a lot of rain through Tuesday. I'm hoping that tomorrow morning there might be enough of a break in the rain so that I can run 3 miles, as the worst of the winds should be gone by then. Maybe that will be a good motivator for me to not stop running for the entire 3 miles so I can get it done sooner and miss the rain.
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!
