In keeping with my commitment to run 10 miles per week, yesterday I set out on a 3.6 mile run. My intention was to run the whole thing – without having to walk – since I’m trying to work up to 5 miles straight by Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, I had to walk. Twice.
In my own defense, each walk session was very brief, and only at the end of two monstrous hills.
I know I’ve mentioned my hilly neighborhood before, but since the size and quantity of hills is subjective, I thought I’d give you a visual. Below is the elevation graph created by runstoppable.com of the route that I ran yesterday. I highlighted in pink the two sections I walked. Let me tell you – looking at this graph makes me feel a lot better about my performance yesterday.
I’m now up to 6.7 miles for the week, between yesterday’s run and the 5k at the Zoo on Sunday. I’m planning another run for tomorrow that will probably be my 3.44 mile route, which will put me over the 10-mile mark just a smidge. And if I run with J-Roc on Saturday, I’ll surpass my goal even MORE!
Mua hahahaha!
