Races..

Well I finished Marathon #4. Mainly because I’m stubborn.  I didn’t train well at all for it. I put in maybe a cumulative of 20 miles of training between Little Rock and Minneapolis. Team Ortho was going to charge a good penny to switch into the half – I showed them! 🙂 it really wasn’t so terrible since I went into it assuming I would be using the whole six hour time limit. The first half of them too bad but the second half of killer. Gordon joined me around mile 14 and helps get me through the whole finish. I had to walk probably a good mile or two of the last half just to get through it and oh boy did it hurt!

Yesterday I finished my first real triathalon! It was super hilly and very difficult but I enjoyed it! It eas something different so kept me entertained.  I am running Afton 25k in 2 weeks so good prep for that.  Then it’s officially Chicago training time! My mom and I started weight watchers together again yesterday.  I would like to be down 20 pounds for Chicago so I can at least run sub 4:30. Tomorrow will be one of the first days back with the club. I’m full of excuses but the hour trip it takes from work to get down there makes it easy for me to skip. Here’s to tomorrow and actually getting my butt down there for some nice miles 🙂
