I think I left off on Week 8, Day 1 like 2 months ago or something like that. I haven't been running or even walking in all of this time, but I have lost about 25 pounds, and apparently I've turned into a wigger. Wow, I haven't used that word since 8th grade. But I digress.... Today I drove to Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield which is a flat 3 mile loop. I finished the whole thing with NO WALKING and with a time of 40:29 (13:30 pace).
I don't know if I will finish the C25K as written, but I feel like if I can run 3 miles non-stop, then mission accomplished. I do have 2 5K's coming up: one on Thanksgiving morning and another on December 5th. If I happen to run anytime between now & then, I'll blog about it, but if not, I feel no shame. I'll post a full race report for the Thanksgiving race, hopefully with photos. Here's the finish line photo from last year. My time was 49:47, a 16:02 pace (and I feel like I ran most of it.)
Great run today! It's awesome that you could do that after your break. Congrats on the weight loss too. Good Luck on the Turkey Trot.

Yay! Effie from the Block is back baby! Good job girlfriend!!
ReplyDeleteOK, I forgot to check in on your blog for like ever, but it sounds like you're doing pretty awesome. I'm doing a T'giving morning race too, except mine is 5 miles. (Would have preferred 5K, frankly, but that wasn't an option.)
