Week 1 Complete

On Thursday I got in a 5 mile treadmill workout. It wasn't very exciting, but I did feel really good. Lish met me at the gym, but she forgot her shoes and decided to go home. I forgot my socks, but decided to run without them. That was a bit of a mistake. Around 4.5 miles in, I devoped some blisters. Determined, I finished anyway.



I woke up on Saturday and went for a quick 3 mile run while Lish was getting her hair cut with Jasmine. The 3 miles went by quickly even though I was trying to keep the pace easy.



Since it was Valentines Day, Lish and I wanted to spend some time together, so we went out and braved the weather to go for a hike at Rancho San Antonio. We managed to get in about a 5-6 mile hike with only a few sprinkles.

Today was my "long run." 8 miles isn't that long, but I am still early in my training. The 8 miles were really brutal. I felt ok through 4 miles, but the last 4 were really tough. I had to reduce the speed a few times and felt completely wiped once I was done. I may have felt poor since it had been a while since I had eaten and went on the hike yesterday. No excuses, I will do better next run.
