This is nothing more than me patting myself on the back, but I just had to say that last night we jogged a full 4 miles in the cold and after I had a stomach virus the day before! That is the longest we have done yet, or at least in quite awhile. I am feeling extremely proud of us right now!!!! Okay, okay... I guess that was a little less a pat on the back and a little closer to bragging. I am just completely psyched because I feel stronger, healthier and in better shape (despite the fact I can't seem to stay well) then I have since I ran the 10 miler back in 2002.
We have 3 races planned over the next month: a 5K this weekend (if it doesn't rain), a 10K November 9th in D.C., and a Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving Day! We're hoping to keep improving our times in the 5K's and to be able to run/jog at least 6 miles of the 10K.
Now if I could just gain some of that same momentum and enthusiasm towards my schoolwork...
P.S.: We did decide to hold off on the half-marathon due to the fact that we couldn't justify paying an $80.00 entrance fee to potentially facilitate in our own death's.
