I was kicking myself for not doing my cross training on Friday. I just did not want to do the elliptical or the bike. My thought was that I would do the Wii Fit Plus at home but that never happened...sorta knew it wouldn't. On Saturday, Dan and I ran some errands for items we needed for the run. We got out to the wetland by Greenhill and did a nice warm up, 2min run/2 min walk intervals until we hit 3 miles, and then a nice cool down with stretching. I felt great, like I could have kept going for another 2 miles! I forgot that the high would wear off so even though I had a snack right after the run, I did not get enough protein in my system and had a mini crash. I took a short nap. Dan made a fantastic lunch. I felt so much better after the nap and the filling, healthy lunch.
I am starting to remember how great running feels; that I can escape to my own little world and enjoy it. The weather was perfect on Saturday and it was fun to run around such a beautiful setting. The birds were a lot of fun to watch, too. I can't believe I am going to say it but I even wanted to run on Sunday. The rest days are hard!
Week one of training done and 7.78 miles logged for the week. Not great but not too bad! A girl has got to start somewhere!
