50K training!

tuesday - 6 H-I-L-L-Y miles! it was 32 degrees, *snowing* (flurries but lots of them and non stop) and so windy! with the hilly routes where i live, today i seriously felt like i was running in boulder, colorado and not in the suburbs of atlanta! it's been way below average here for so quite some time. but i just know it'll be warm soon - i just know it! (and i can NOT wait!)

wednesday -6 miles with hill repeats. i did 5 hill repeats of almost .1 of a mile. on the 5th repeat, i made it up about 80%! i felt like i was going to barf the rest of the run but it really felt so good to almost reach the top. it's a tough hill. i really want to find out it's degree/incline grade. you can hear cars really downshifting as they drive up!

friday - 14 miles with my youngest biking by me again! he's great company ♥! i felt really sick to my stomach the night before and just a little that morning. i figured i would just run what i could, maybe toss my tummy, and see what i can get done. instead that sick feeling went away and i ran with a headache the whole way! oh well. it wasn't a great run or a terrible run. it warmed up half enough by mile 10 that i was able to peel down to a short sleeve shirt!! i have not done that since november! i looked for the sunny side everywhere i could and before i knew it, i was done. :)

i want to run the 50K i did last year, but wasn't sure if i had enough time to really prepare. so i found a 16 week plan, and would you know i finished the first 2 weeks already, almost as it called for! so i'm jumped in on week 3. i am really excited and hope i'm able to train well. it's been so hectic the past 3 months with selling, buying and moving! but it's over now and things are settling down and i'm finding time to run. it's been great! i'm really hoping i can make this happen. my kids are so excited about going back to that place. they loved it there! (that makes me very happy!)
