So to train for a half marathon, you eventually have to go from running 3 miles to running 10. Well, it happened to be time to run the dreaded 10 miles yesterday. I can't just run around in a big circle and call it good. I have to run to a certain point and then come back the same way. So yesterday I set off to my parents house which is exactly 5 miles away. When I got there, they greeted me with water told me to be careful and I was on my way back home. It took me 1 hour and 53 minutes(don't do the math-it's pretty slow) but I made it and I was so glad it was done. I love my Garmin watch because it tracks miles, time, calories and all that good stuff. I love to look at the calories when I'm done and yesterday I burned 1347 calories. I figured it would be ok to eat a few jellybeans. I hadn't had a sweet in two weeks. Dang! I was doing so good. And I probably wouldn't have caved if I didn't have them in my house. I got them as a Thank you just that day! Oh well, life goes on. So exactly a week from today I run 13.1 miles in Leavenworth. Looking forward to getting away with the girls for the weekend but can't say I'm excited to run. Wish me Luck!-(I'm going to need it:)
