We went and met Kim this morning and headed over to the Jordan River Parkway for a 16 mile run. It was 2 and a half miles to it and then we learned that the parkway is not a easy trail to navigate. You would think that the trail was cut and dry but no sometimes you had to cut through a parkinglot and other times you needed to go one direction to stay on the path and the other direction to the parking area. None the less we found our way and kept at a 9+ minute mile. At mile 6 I knew I needed to slow down or I would never survive the entire run so I dropped back and just went slow and steady. We turned around at mile 8 and headed back. We saw Brent and he ran with us for a mile or so. Then a little further we met Leslie and Lisa. It was fun to meet all the people from the blog. After we left them I lost steem fast. By mile 14 I was so tired and tempted to call my husband to come and pick me up. But I persevered and got back to Kim's brothers house at a very slow pace.
I now know what if feels like to be a rubber band because that is what my legs felt like. I am so glad that I did it though and Jody and Kim get 10,000 brownie points for dragging me along and waiting and waiting and waiting for me. I definitely need to build up my miles a little slower though. I will be sore from this I'm sure.I am so greatful that tomorrow is Sunday and NO RUN DAY!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!!!! |
