I was dreading this run with JJ and Cindy. Halfway through the work day I got to thinking where my shoes were b/c I couldn't remember packing them. I secretly was wishing I left them at home so I wouldn't have to run... plus it was super muggy Thursday morning.
Well I got off work at 5:30 and my shoes were in the back seat of my car so I went to the parade field at the fort. For warm-up Cindy had me run a lap (each lap is a mile). I was able to run 1/2 of it before I had to make a pit stop at the bathroom (I must have the bladder of a 4 year old child). Then I ran the second half with 2 short walks in there.
Let me just say that the first half mile run was a huge accomplishment... I didn't think I could do it and I felt like stopping many times. What kept me going was Cindy talking to me and a full bladder... the porta-potties were at the half mile mark. Lol. I knew I'd feel better after I could pee... Probably TMI but whatevs.
After my mile "warm-up" she had me doing sprints for the next 2 miles. We'd do about 5 sprints each mile.
I felt so much better after this run than I did the first time. I didn't feel like I was going to pass out and I wasn't gasping for air so much. This made me so excited. I also think I ran a little faster on the sprints. I didn't think I had improved at all but afterwards I felt it.
Got me sooooo excited! :)
Then we went to DSW and I found the coolest pair of shoes they were so sparkly!
After we went to On The Border. First time I've ever been there and it was amazing! :) I got Enchiladas Suizas (sp?)... fantastic!
