This week my legs have not been cooperating and it is so frustrating. I barely made a mile on Monday when we ran the inside track and I was so disappointed with myself. Yesterday I felt a little more on track but I only got a mile in as Eryn went to the gym about 45 minutes before me so by the time I got there she had already ran two miles so I didn't want to make her run more with me. My one mile was good though - almost exactly a 9 min mile. I was so happy with myself for that! I was also happy because usually when we run Eryn steps it up on the last lap and leaves me in the dust when we cross but I was able to do that for once. : )
I bumped up my weights as well. I'm now up to 9lb free weights for our arm exercises and bumped up all of my leg machine weights by a few added weights (the little circle ones you can add on). My legs felt so good when I left the gym! I love days like that. : )
Zumba was good - we did our first day with no water break. I was a little more tired than usual but made it through. Only 3 more classes which makes me sad - hopefully they will be able to offer it over the summer. I love Zumba - it makes me do the exercises I hate to do alone but in a fun way.
Stephen and I had a talk the other day about his running - he's doing so wonderful! He's already up to almost half-marathon distance in just a few months (yes, very jealous!). He mentioned he may try for a marathon in Atlanta in the fall. I mentioned that I would like him to consider doing a Disney Half/Full Marathon with me sometime in the next year or so. Not sure which one but I'd like to do at least one of them (after I get my November Half Marathon done and see how I do.
He'll probably end up doing the full marathon which works - that way we can cheer each other on during our respective races. I also mentioned it to my friend Sarah who is training of her first 5k right now. : ) I would love to have as many people there as possible to support one another.
And she mentioned this awesome race I am totally interested in - you create a team of around 11 people and run in shifts from Gettysburg, PA (one of my favorite places) to Washington, DC! It's all done in one weekend and there's a huge party to celebrate when everyone arrives! How awesome would that be? Something to think about... : )
