Today's Exercise

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

I went on a 1 mile walk with my good friend, Karla and then later on in the day did treadmill work. I've decided that Wednesdays will be my 800 Repeats day. I wanted to run 5 miles total doing repeats and was able to do so (though I did 1/4 mile walks in between each one).

I was very tired afterward, but it felt fantastic to run again and to put in a lot of mileage! I have decided to do the half marathon with my little brother and sister on Saturday. I know I will not get a good time. I know I will have to walk a lot of the race, but that is OK. I want to do it, and I know I can cover the distance. I also know I will be exhausted afterward! ;-)
