...this past Saturday, we had our first group run. I am not sure if it was the heat, "puppy mom" exhaustion, or just that I am out of shape, but it wasn't easy! I did the 4:1 ratio and ended up walking the last 1/2 mile. It might have been the fact that we were on a track as well. I tend to prefer trails when I run...more things to distract me and less of counting down effect (of laps around the track).
I was super proud of my friends Lindsey and Jen. They are going to do AWESOME in their half-marathons at Philly. They were running effortlessly.
I am going to do the hill training this week that our coaches are recommending. 6 x 2 minutes running up a hill. We shall see :)
On another note, Molly is getting more acclimated to her routine in DC. She is the talk of the neighborhood and her puppy waddle is too darn cute :) She literally runs up to people and rolls on to her back to get her belly rubbed. Puppies crack me up!
4 miles this Saturday....might go with a 3:2 ratio. Might be necessary!
It was so fun running with you on Saturday! I thought you did great...you're right, counting down laps on the track is kind of a pain. Hope the hills were okay today :)
