10 Miler up Leif Erikson! Ugh

Almost, almost missed my run this morning. Overslept my alarm and woke up with 10 minutes to spare. Threw on some clothes, ran out the door and made it to the meeting point right when my group was leaving the parking lot. Didn't give myself any time for stretching so I assume I might be a little sore tomorrow. The big 27 is coming up next weekend, the perfect gift would be a donation! wink, wink. :)

I DID IT!

This past Saturday I rolled out of bed at 5:30am to make it to my 6am 25K group run (15.5miles)
I am very happy and proud to say that I made it! 2 hrs 30 min. Averaging just under a 10 min mile. Not too bad considering my whole body felt like it had been hit by a semi by mile 12.
Thank you for all your support and encouragement. This would be a lot harder with out you.

I promise... I'm still running!.... Reluctantly

Ok, ok, ok I know I haven't updated the blog in a few, but I promise I've been running! I admit I skipped my group run on the 4th of July because.... Come on, who runs 9 miles on the 4th of July! I did make it up with my running partner Jen that next Wed.
The next weekend my housemates and I planned a camping trip to the Coast preventing me from making my weekly group run. However, I think my choice of running 10 miles on the coastline was a much better idea than sticking around to run in the streets of Portland







This coming Saturday, which I WILL be making, is our next benchmark. 15.5 miles!!! Holy you know what!
Thanks to all of you for your support
