Day 4- Ken and I ran along the canyon trail today. We we ran 3.3 miles and boy was it hard! Today I realized that not every run is going to be the same. Monday and Tuesday's runs weren't as bad as this one. I was suckin' wind and didn't do very good. I was super proud that we went that far though. To make it to 100 miles, we have to run 3.3 miles 5 days a week, or 16.3 miles per week. So the fact that we actually made it to 3.3 was impressive.
Day 5-7- Ken and I slacked off during the weekend. I like to be lazy over the weekends because it's my time to relax. In the future, we are hoping to not slack off as bad, as we did this weekend.
Day 8- I went to the chiropractor today and I was talking to his wife about running. She told me that her husband loves to run on a trail near Walmart. Ken and I decided we wanted to check the trail out. When we left to go running it was slightly sprinkling and there was a heavy cloud cover. The entire trail is 1 mile, so round trip we ran 2.1 miles. At the beginning of our run it was slightly raining, and at the end it was pouring rain and we were both drenched! But I loved it!! If it would rain everyday I would rain EVERYDAY!
Day 9- We ran the same trail as yesterday. It rained for a majority of the day, when we started our run the sky was blue and mostly clear, at the end a storm was rolling in... again. There has been so much rain fall in Southern Utah and Nevada! Roads are being washed out and its the record amount of rain fall in 30+ years. But anyways, running today was harder. We ran a 10 minute mile the way down the trail, the second mile didn't go as well as the first but it's okay... baby steps.
Side note, I haven't had soda since the 1st of September! Actually that's a lie, last Friday my boss bought me a pepsi and I had a sip or two but gave it away after that. So I don't count that as consuming soda haha. I used to have a small Mt. Dew addiction, so this is a huge step in the right direction. I've also tried to limit the amount of sugar I have. That has definitely been hard as well. I honestly didn't realize how addicted I actually was to sugar. In random parts of the days I'll have cravings for random snacks that I used to enjoy. But alas! I have found a way to resist the temptation to go to the gas station and buy said treat. I have found that keeping a pack of gum in my purse has helped. When I get an urge to get a treat, I'll just pop a piece of gum in my mouth.
