Double It Up!

Today, I doubled my miles, from 3 miles to 6 miles (5k to 10k)!

I was really nervous to even begin my run. First of all, I slept really late, past 3:30 am, and so I woke up tired and not motivated to get up and run at all. So I actually ran at 12:10 pm. Second, I was scared that I wouldn't finish and would have to call someone to save my butt! But I did finish!

Granted, I did a good amount of walking, but I'm just glad I finished!

I finished 6 miles in an hour and thirty minutes.

Not bad considering I stopped by walgreens to buy a bottle of water and rent a movie from Red Box! Hahaha!!!

Anyway, it was crazy because the last mile and a half, I felt like puking. Probably from the water, but when I hit about a mile from home, I felt a kick and just ran a good amount of the rest of the way home.

DISCLAIMER, my "running" pace maybe considered a jog compared to those 5 minute per mile people. Crazy mofos, I'll get y'all some day!

Anyway, yeah.

I also doubled up my sports bra, and it helped to lessen back pain after the race! Wheee!

In retrospect, 1:30 is about right for my Pasadena pace of 13 min per mile. But I so wish I can improve that time! Grrr!!!

Even tho I've only done one "race," I think its always a little a bit "better" on race day. The hype that surrounds it feeds your drive to do better. Haha. Hopefully that will ring true.

Anyway, I'm also officially invested in a half or a full marathon for this September! I can pick either or, but I'm leaning towards the half >.<

I'm kinda sad since I'm the only one up here who likes to run and I'm going to finish, cross the line, and be like yey me, go hug yourself Cat -_-
