... without even stopping to walk. AND I ran my 8th mile in 8:36. Wooohooooo! Mile 5 was pretty slow at 10:31, but for the 9.25 miles I managed a sub 10 min mile average. How exciting (for this person who has never really been a runner)! Now I have needed to eat two breakfasts and was hungry for lunch right after my midday yoga class as well. The energy is lacking a bit so I have a feel that's partly driving the intense hunger-- body get energy from food since I can't nap at work.
I've been kinda bummed about training since we've been inconsistent with all we've had going on, but this is our peak week before the Storm the Fort race and so far things are going well. I think we might be overcommitting ourselves a bit - hosting a bridal shower at our house (which we moved into less than a month ago) in a week, then Storm the Fort, then off to Bali. Not that I can complain about any of these events- they're all awesome!- but there is a lot going on. And although training for these races is a big time committment, its also what keeps me sane. I am so much happier (and pleasan to be around) when I get my work outs in and tend to get very (very) cranky when I do not. Still trying to take to heart that whole 'go with the flow' thing, but that little piece of paper (aka my training plan) with my daily work outs on it is way too important to me. I hate putting a red "X" through a work out (meaning I didn't complete it) even though my husband and I made our plans knowing we'd have to skip 1-3 of the short duration work outs per week. Even though I know that, I still don't like skipping. I'm working on it.
