forgot

i forgot to mention how my jog went today.

today i was determined to jog at least 5 laps, which is about 2.5 miles. i completed my goal. however, by time i made it to the end of th e5th lap, i decided that i had enough energy to try and stick it out for 1 more mile. rounding the first 1/4 mile on my 6th lap, i realized my legs felt like they were made of lead. they were starting to stiffen and felt heavier by the second. by the end of the 7th lap, my legs felt like they weighed a ton. on the positive side, my stomache did not start to cramp up, so i think i finally found a good pace and breathing pattern. running is more difficult than it looks.

i eventually finished, slowly, but i finished. my total time was something like 40 minutes for about 3.5 miles. pretty pathetic average mile, but i wasn’t going for speed, rather to see if i could complete the whole run. so it looks like i wont have to worry about not completing the race come november.
