A quick post about my 1/2 mile "trial" run this morning. I hit the YMCA at 6:30am and went up to the track. My goal was to complete what the doctor said, an easy 1/2 mile. I walked a 1/4 mile and then started running. I was REALLY nervous about the run. I wanted everything to be OK, but was afraid that it would not be. I started out at a slow pace and slowly increased it to what felt like my "easy" pace. I was amazed when I looked at my time. The first 1/4 was a 3:03 and the second 1/4 was a 2:41. It was also hard to stop after on 1/2 mile, but I did. I walked a 1/4 mile cool down and then stretched and hit the showers.
My knee feels great. No pain and I felt strong running, with the exception of taking 8 days off. My goal is to ramp up to my 10 mile run on Saturday by running a little more each day Tuesday-Thursday. Then take Friday off to recover beforet he long run.
My goals for the Flying Pig are still alive:
- Finish the entire marathon (26.2 miles)
- Finish in under 5 hours
I will keep everyone posted on my progress this week. I am still int he hunt for that pig!!!
Peace,
Philippians 4:13
