I started off this week's training for my charity 10K with a real kicker. On Monday night, I ran 5 miles! That's the farthest I have ever run in my entire life.
A 10K is 6.2 miles and soon that will be the farthest I have ever run in my life.
My childhood friend has gotten back in contact with me and she's been running Marathons. Wow! I remember both us struggling to run the mile in high school with her pushing me the whole way.
She's planning to do the LA Marathon on March 1, 2009 and will stay with me. She's also trying to talk me into signing up as well. In case some of you don't know, a marathon is 26.5 miles. That's a lot of miles! I keep laughing at her but I guess the $95 deadline is 4 days after my first 10K in August and after the 6th the registration fees start going up.
It's something to consider but I'm still not convinced that I need to run a marathon or even walk/run a marathon which she and her friend did at the Louisville Marathon and will do at the Indianapolis Marathon. She did recommend a good book: The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer that I'm looking for locally. I feel silly buying it online when I should be able to find it in this city.
Tonight I train again in the park but I only need to get in 2 miles to stick to my training schedule. And since my body still hurts from the five mile run, I think I'll stick to the plan tonight. LOL
I do an excellent job of pushing myself. I just have to keep learning my limits.
