So I have to admit that I have slacked off a little this week. With my stupid migraine on Tuesday and with it being the lovely "time of the month" for me, I just have not been feeling myself at all! Wednesday and Thursday were my so called relax and feel better days this week, but today I felt good and commited myself to run.
Douglas had the day off, so I told him to drop me off by Bachus Hwy and 5400 South so I could run home. It was a decent run for me, mostly down hill, a big incline by the Usana Amphitheatre and then a nice decline all the way back to my house, but the one road had lots of big trucks and construction, so having them drive pass me wasn't too fun inhaling the exhaust and dust from it! Once I turned past Usana though, it was nice, with not much traffic. The thing that sucked though was in the middle of my run, my satelite radio stopped working on my phone and I had no music!! For me, I HAVE to have music to keep me pumped, and it sucked BIG TIME! I kept at it though until out of nowhere towards the end it started working again! I just need to have my ipod from now on! I think it really messed with my pace!
My knees were ok, but towards the end, I could feel the weakness in them and they were getting TIRED! My legs felt wobbly by the time I finshed, but a good wobbly I guess! I am just so proud to say that I got to 5.7 miles!! Running for me is not my strength in life, but to go that long when I NEVER had a desire before and actually somewhat enjoyed it, made my day!! This whole training for Ragnar has really pushed me above and beyond what I thought I could do! Such an amazing feeling!! :)
Oh, and 2 weeks from tomorrow is Tough Mudder!! WAY PUMPED!!!
