My 4th 10K was last Saturday and I totally PR'd it by almost a full minute - boo yah! Just what I needed to rev up for marathon training. No, not NYC - I didn't get in. :-(
But, it's probably for the best, right? Right?
Well, I dealt with the rejection by immediately signing up for the local City of Oaks marathon on the same date, 11/6. And followed that by immediately looking up my previous training plan and revising it for this year. Done and done.
Full on serious training starts Monday - almost a year to the date since I ran the Boone marathon, my first and (so far) only. My plan to try one a year is officially underway.
Meanwhile, husband is starting to talk about tackling his first 10K (insert sly smile here). I think he got pumped up from running the Angels Among Us 5k with me a few weeks back, during which he continued his PR streak. One step closer to that couple's marathon, wink, wink.
Now, if I can just enter enough sweepstakes to win a replacement for our decrepit treadmill, we'll really be in business!
Footnote - next race with hubby is the Komen Race for the Cure on 6/11. We both joined my mom's team but we suck at fundraising. So, for anyone reading this who would like to help a girl out, here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/3uhwdu9
