Yesterday I really wanted to get a long run out of the way. With the weather being so humid, rainy, and windy, I planned on running on the treadmill. I was totally not into it from the get-go. I didn't want to get up early, so I slept in, ate breakfast, then ran. It was hard and I never really got into it, just trucked through it.
Did 10.22 miles/1:30:00/8:48 pace. Knees are feeling better, but need TLC. I can run faster on the treadmill than outside so it helps my pace for training for the 1/2 in 2 weeks!
This week was nuts in terms of the first week of school and working at home 24/7 when I was home and being tired! And it was only a 4 day week! I wish we always had Monday off!
I applied to run Boston with Dana Farber last week, and I figure that is the only place I will apply. If I get in, it is meant to be. If not, it is not. I'm going with that outlook on Boston for now, not knowing what my body will be like 2 months postpartum.
I watched the movie "waitress" last night and found my match - Felicity :) or whatever her name is - the anti mother. Haha. Have a great week everyone!

OMG! I just DVR-ed that (yesterday or Friday) movie and am going to watch it tonight!
ReplyDeleteKILLER on the 10 miler! Very nice!
8:48 pace at 15 weeks? i'm not talking to you any more.
ReplyDelete:)
Damn, 10 miles on a treadmill!
ReplyDeleteI thought the character in Waitress was great...maybe you need to feed your baby some pie. :)
Amen on having every Monday off. THat would be sooo nice. In fact, why am I up right now? I need to get to bed. I'm sorry it wasn't as long as you wanted, but that's a long time being on the treadmill. Do you do tv, music, or nothing while on it?
ReplyDeleteNice job on the run. I think if you are able to continue running throughout your pregnancy, even if the mileage decreases significantly, you will at a good starting point post pregnancy. Glad to hear the knee is still getting better.
ReplyDeleteGreat stats for the week! Good luck with settling into a routine at school.
ReplyDelete10 miles on the treadmill?!? dont know how you do it girl :) great job!!
ReplyDeleteyayyy for the upcoming half! that will be fun!
You rock. The mill gets a bad rap. Nice job using the boring effer to your advantage and then smoking out 10.
ReplyDeleteYou applied for Boston? You can apply? I didnt know that. Do you just have to run a qulifying time to apply? How does that work?
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!! :)
Ugh, the weather on Saturday was miserable.
ReplyDeleteGreat 10 mile run. Good luck getting adjusted to school.
