Today, while out on my group run with the team, I realized I need to make sure I know where I am supposed to be running BEFORE heading out. I thought I knew, and I had the directions in my hand, but apparently that didn't matter. My 6 mile run ( and walk) was definitely a bit longer, as I backtracked, took wrong turns, and flat out got lost. Who knew there were so many side streets in Jacksonville!
I also learned that hills are hard! We ran two of the bridges today, and my hips are sore now.It was definitely something my legs aren't used to. I have to say though, that today, I really enjoyed myself ( minus the getting lost part.) I felt I pushed myself a bit harder than I have been, and I liked it. It seemed less tedious.
I bought an ipod today, and can't wait to fill it up with music to keep me motivated while I run. I think it will also help the monotony. yeah!
I also realized today, that I hardly ever see Bill, my husband, on Saturdays. Today consisted of me leaving the house at 6 to go run. After I ran, I didn't do the usual socializing with everyone afterwards. Instead, I hurried to a used homeschool book sale, and got the majority of our books for next school year. I saved alot of money though! After that, I hit the homeschool book store, because they were having a 20% off sale, so I got some more of our books . Then it was off to soccer sign ups, where I sat until 2. I then had to go get my new ipod from the person I bought it from, hurried home, took care of the horses, and hurried out so that we could take Will, my 6 year old to BMX racing. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, it was rained out, so we went out to dinner instead. That was nice though. Bill spent the day with the kids at our "home" BMX track working on it and fixing damage from storms. What a busy day!
