We were lazy this week. Well, not intentionally. Jason had his PT test this week and that threw off our schedule. I should have sucked it up and ran in the evenings, but I didn't.
Sunday, September 13:
Today, we ran 9.01 miles from out house, through downtown Valdosta and part of VSU. It took us 1 hour 26 minutes and 55 seconds. In general, I felt pretty bad. My knees and right hip hurt at first. I chalked that up to taking 5 days off. Yes, you read that correctly, I said 5 DAYS! As I thought, the pains went away within the first half mile.
Then around mile 7, Jason started to feel dizzy. We stopped and walked at mile 8 for a half mile then ran the last half (up hill). Before that our time was pretty good.
It has been cooling to the mid 80s lately and we have not been drinking as much. We learned our lesson today. Also, Jason has not been eating right with his braces interfering with his ability to chew all foods.
This week, we are going to be more conscious of our water intake as well as our diet.
On a lighter note, we will be running a half marathon on Halloween morning with our friends, Kim and Chelsea. Kim thought it would be fun to dress up in costumes to run. During our run today, I decided on my half marathon costume (which will be different from my actual costume since that will be too cumbersome to run in). I have decided to get myself a blue running skirt and wear my blue tank top with a pair of devil horns. I'm going to be the Devil with the Blue Dress On... get it!! Hahaha!
