| | Week 10. 14 miles.... I think?
I went to visit a friend at Cal Poly this weekend so i missed my usual training run on Saturday. I actually missed my group. When my friend and I were driving around, I kept telling her I wanted to go running and whenever i would see a runner, I'd wish I were running. I couldn't b/c I had forgotten to pack my running shoes :( Anyways. so we went to the beach and all I could think about was running. Hmm.. crazy!
During the ride back to the city, I decided to map out in my head where i would run on Sunday morning. (Since i was going to run by myself) I also realizd that I would have to get up at 6 AM to eat breakfast so I could run from 7-10 AM, with enough time to freshen up and go to church. So, after I got home, as i was talking to my mom, I started to prepare my breakfast for the next morning. I got my box of cereal with one banana and a spoon.. Luckily our family has a fridge downstairs so i even poured milk into a tupperware.. I was all set.. :)
So at an insane hour - 6 AM- like someone in the military, i woke up to my alarm and brushed my teeth and prepared my breakfast. I finally left the house around 7:15 and began running.
Running on my own wasn't so bad. But not having mile markers was a challenge - as a result, i don't know how much i really ran. .But at least now I can say that I can run from my house to the beach!
Pretty exciting... I am now officially halfway towards my marathon training goal.
One thing I did think about was I've realized that as now that we are running so frequently, I struggle with focusing too much on running and this whole journey. I hate to admit it, but i think i've somehow become more disciplined in running than spending time with my Creator - the One who actually gave me the ability to run!
Something for me to think about.
