It's been a long time since I posted, mostly because it has been a long time since I had run. With the holidays, it became easy to ignore the fact that I should have been running, espescially since my BFF Grande wasn't around to keep me motivated!
Last night we had our first Team in Training "Test." This was essentially our first time "haul ass" mile, where we had to put in a lot of effort. I'm not so good at this. I'm really good at pacing myself, at making sure that I don't spring and then have to walk and recover. I'm not so good at giving it my all. On the upside, I can apparently run a mile in 9:14 seconds, which is way better than I thought it was. Although we were supposed to be putting forward a lot of effort, I was putting forward "alot-but-maybe-I-could-give-a-little-more."
Regardless, last night's practice was held in the rain, which quickly turned to ice on my vest. There are few things so rewarding as feeling like a total badass when you walk away from a practice in the rain. It is second only to running away from a game in the rain and covered in nothing but mud.
This weekend we are running the Fred Lebow 5 Mile Race in Central Park, which is exciting. Keep checking in to see how it is going!
