Training with Layne officially starts this week, so this past week I've been trying to run more to get prepared. I don't want to die my first week of training! I went Tuesday with Jeff Mac and did 4 miles! Of course it was run 1 mile, walk 1 mile, and repeat.. but still! I was happy. I can definitely run 1 mile without dying, so that is a plus!
On Friday I went by myself. I decided to do 6 miles with the run/walk method. It was a little more difficult! After 4 miles I had to stop and drink some water and get motivated to do 2 more. The difficultness could have been due to the 2 Diet Cokes I had had already that day. Or the Orea Blizard I had from Dairy Queen. Or it could have been that I went at like 4 in the afternoon when it was still SOOOO hot. But nevertheless, I did 6 miles!
I am very motivated at this point. I keep finding out more and more people that are running this race too, including some of my dearest friends Morgan, Emily, Lauren, and Meredith. So this will be a fun journey together!
