almost forgot...
Mar. 22nd, 2002 09:24 pm... oh yeah, haven't updated y'all on how the 10K training is going.
it's going quite well, actually... we actually did 5K during our training session at lunchtime yesterday, up and down a snaking path not too far from where the actual run's going to be. while it was snowing. it was also one of those cases where if we knew how far we were going to run, we'd have thought we never could do it... when we found out the distance we'd covered, we were all stoked!
i can already feel my cardio and recovery adjusting to the training... after the first training, it would take me forever to catch my breath if i got winded, while this time around i would just slow to a walk for thirty seconds or so, then i'd be fine. by the time i got in the shower, i was ready to run back downstairs and start over.
once the weather gets better (it's all snowbanks and slush here), i'm going to start going for long walks/jogs on my own, gotta keep the training going. i may not set any records finishing this sucker, but i'm definitely going to finish it. go me. :)
