I haven't ran in at least 2 weeks,
and when I did run,
well,
it wasn't going so great,
but today
I
rocked
it.
Remember, it's all relative,
and for me every tiny success in this arena
is a
very big deal.
I did a 5K in
42 minutes,
of those 42 minutes I ran,
really ran,
24 minutes.
My longest consecutive run was
9.5 minutes.
A record for me.
I was even kind of enjoying it.
I didn't even have muscle cramps.
It was hard.
I was really pushing myself.
And at one point all I could do was picture myself on the floor
passed out
behind my treadmill.
But still
I kind of enjoyed it.
The weather is supposed to be nice the rest of the week,
so maybe I'll try running outside again.
wish me luck
I still need it.
Lots of it.

42 minutes! Woo Hoo! That was my first official 5K race time. I thought I was going to DIE right there on the finish line. You can do it....and you still have 2 weeks to improve your time. Woot!
Don't run at all during 2 days before race day.
Do load up on water, and stretch like crazy on those days.
Do carbo load the night before your race. (um, the BEST part about running if you ask me)
Do get a lot of sleep.
YAY! You're doing it, Nat. Do you feel like a champ? you should.
Good on ya Nat!
