Weekend

I ran another 5k on Saturday. I didn't cut myself any slack and had done a killer workout on Friday evening with Chad. So I walked part of it. Anyway, I did it in 36:03, min/mile 11:37. So I am improving. It was at Oyster Creek Park in Sugarland, which is a very nice park. Carol came with me and lay on a quilt under a tree and read. I have been trying to get her to take up running with me, but it is something you have to really motivate yourself to do. She did go around the block with me once last week.

Then we visited Hannah, who lives about 20 min away from there in Rosenberg. We talked about her wedding plans, and looked at houses on the internet, and played with her 3 kitties, and just enjoyed hanging out. She fixed us some delicious organic oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon. She is amazingly into healthy, organic food and far surpassing my fanaticism about some things. They got rid of their microwave!!

So yesterday, Sunday, my training schedule said to do 5 miles LSD (long slow distance). The purpose is to build endurance. I made the mistake of going out at 1 pm. I thought it was supposed to be cool but it was 80 something degrees. I walked more than ran but stuck to it. I am determined to do this upcoming half marathon in 3 hours or less.

Today I have blown my good eating though, as it is bosses day and we had mexican food and cupcakes. Plus I had a piece of chocolate. Good thing is, tomorrow is another day!
