Today's race was just lovely. I was not speedy, mostly because I was not feeling it, but also because I ran with my sister --- her first race of the year... The course was 3.5 miles of hills UP followed by 2.5 miles of rolling hills, mostly down. It was no worse than some of my Grafton training runs for the marathon, although the sun was out and the temp was 65 degrees!
Speaking of marathon - I ran into 2 of my TNT friends who at the last minute decided to run. It was great to see them so soon and made me think more about doing the marathon again next year...I really miss our Saturday groups!! Of course they ran their 10k in less than an hour, while I chugged in around 1:16 ---- that's a 12:25 pace. It is a pace that I've doing for the last 6 months, so no real complaints.
I would like to work on that speed thing, which I think will work itself out if WHEN I lose this extra 30+ lbs. I am willing to bet on that! WW is going well so far. I am not eating stellar, but I am within my points so hopefully Thursday's weigh in will give me a boost. I'm so sick of being this big - I would really like to make some headway --- real headway before my friends wedding June 23rd.
