Progress!


So, I've put it out there: I signed up for the Chang's 1/2 Marathon! I did my first run (and by "run," I mean a fair amount of walking, too) on August 28th--not training for anything, more to try to lean out and improve endurance. I went 3 miles in 45 minutes.
I've been averaging about 3.5 miles in the 45 minute range.
Last night was a victory--I made a deal with myself. (I always do that. You wanna know where Logan gets it? Me.) We were going to supper with Stacey & Kurty at 6:30 and I told myself if I hit 4 miles in 50 minutes, I could be done, otherwise, I'd have to go 60 minutes.
I did it!!!!! 48.52 minutes, baby!!!!!!!
I'm not necessarily doing anything for speed, I just need to get my endurance up.
Tonight I'm walking with my girlfriend Kim so it'll be great to get my legs stretched out!
I figure if I get my miles in throughout the week, it's ok to eat meatballs and drink beer over the weekend.
That's how that works, right?? :)
Have a good one!!
