I ended up running the first 3.5 miles then I had to stop and walk for a little bit to regroup and drink some water, then I sort of alternated between walking/running for the last 1.5 miles. Although I wish I could have gone the whole 5 miles without stopping to walk, I figure it was better to stop and walk for a few instead of passing out on the side of the street. But, I did go all 5 miles so I was happy to accomplish that today.
In other news I will be able to run the Firecracker 5k Evening Run which I was hoping for. I just registered for it today because I was able to confirm I would not be working that evening, yay! So I will be able to post race results and pictures this Thursday, which will make me feel like a REAL running blogger.
Well that is all I have for today, its a little shorter of a post than I would like, so maybe tonight after work I will write a little more, or tomorrow. I don't know for sure, but it will keep you on your toes right?

Stopping to walk for a bit can actually be a good thing. When you get into a groove while running it's easy to miss little things your body's trying to tell you that could be important. So I usually stop every 2 miles or so and walk a bit while doing sort of a mental check on my body. Sometimes its not until I stop that I realize how badly I need a drink.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is kind of how I felt, once I stopped to take a drink I realized how hot I was getting so I decided to take it a little easier from then on
