I am not very good at remembering to update this blog, and frankly, I am always so busy its tough! I have gone through so many different updates in my head, but actually getting to write them down, is much harder. A couple of weeks ago, I had my first chance to run on hills when we were at a pony Club thing for my daughter. Hills are hard! Jacksonville doesn't have hills. San Fransisco is going to kill me! Our team was supposed to start running bridges last week for our practice, but practice got stormed out. The same thing happened again this week. Talk about frustrating!
My training is going well, but I have got to get an ipod. Running can get quite dull, but if I am listening to music, or a book on tape, it will make it alot better. I am still waiting for the runners high people talk about. I guess you have to go faster, or run more for that to happen! I love the fact that I am getting exercise though, that definitely helps me enjoy it more. I also love the fact that I am training for a good reason. Every time it gets tough, I think about WHY I am doing it, and it doesn't seem so bad.
My knees don't always agree. When I told my mom I was going to train for a marathon, after laughing, she predicted that my knees would be blown by September. I sure hope she is wrong! I am determined to prove her wrong! They hold up to six miles as long as I don't run it all. Hopefully they will continue to get stronger. Wish me luck!
