Yesterday ran 2.6 miles in the park and walked 1.4 miles. Did it in about an hour's time.
Broke down like this:
1mile run
.3 miles walk
.6 miles run
.2 miles walk
.2 miles run
.2 miles walk
.3 miles run
.3 miles walk
.5miles run
That makes 8.1 miles for the week! Which is awesome considering that I missed my normal Monday run at the start of the week.
Today I didn't keep that close track of my run/walking. I just did a 4.2 mile course and ran at least 3 miles of that for sure.
On my way back up the ped ramp that goes over the highway, coming down was a guy in an electric wheel chair. It just really made me appreciate how even though my muscles are going to be sore, even though I'm going to be exhausted, even though I might take over an hour to complete my race on Saturday my muscles work, my body is whole and healthy. And I'm not taking that for granted. It's still chubby and jiggly in places that I wish weren't, but I love my body. I love that it will run all over New York City and take me wherever I want to go. I love that it's going to be sore and tired from working so hard, and it's a lot healthier than it was when I started running 4 months ago. I'm a lot healthier and proud of what I can do, even if it pales in comparison to other people's PRs and distances.
