So I guess I was a little ambitious today. I said I'd run 5.5 miles. I figured that'd be a piece of cake since at 7:30am it couldn't be "that" hot. Well it was... so I am going to try again tomorrow and start much earlier... Maybe I can drag myself out of bed by 6am? It's so much harder to do when no one else is keeping me accountable. Maybe by posting it, that will keep me accountable.
One benefit of my watch right away is that it gives the pace so I know when I out too quick. I realized than in order to actually run the half in 2 1/2 hours (as opposed to 2hrs 50 minutes) I need to run about an 11:30/mile for all 13 miles (give or take a little bit). I have a tendency to start out at 10 minute mile so it's good to know that I need be slow and steady and not rush.
I'm learning.... it's a forever long process, but I'm learning and trying to apply these things to real life too!
