Run 38, 2008
by Administrator ~ April 30th, 2008. Filed under: Training Notes, Training Runs.It’s because if I don’t run, strange things happen. I’m far from the first to mention this, but every time I am going about my business, and I see a runner, I am immediately envious. All I remember is the joy of running, and the accomplishment. I never think about anything else when I see a runner. Every runner I know always notices another runner on the street and as they drive by, they smile thinking and looking forward to their own next run. I always wonder about their planned route, how far they are going, and I wonder how they are doing and how long they’ve been running. All of these thoughts flash into my mind in the same instant.
That’s why today I ran 8 km even though I am not quite yet recovered from my cold. I did pretty good, taking 59 minutes and 24 seconds for a 7:25 pace. I even managed to increase my distance from 7 to 8 km today. May 4th is my official start date for ING marathon training because my 16 week 3 day a week program starts with a 10 mile (~17 km) long run.
By the way, I am now officially registered to run the marathon.
