I Reached a New Personal Best!

I ran Thursday and yesterday evening. Last evening, I reached a goal. I ran from the New Orleans restaurant part of the Riverwalk all the way to the Point West part. For me that was big considering the fact that I've never gotten that far and I've always given up before that point. I'll be honest, when I started running, I wanted to stop because it felt more difficult than normally. Then, after I got to the point that I normally stop, I caught a second wind and actually started to feel better so I kept going until I made it to that Point West bridge. I was pleased, but totally wiped out after that, so I started to walk back. I got a bit lightheaded walking back, so I realized I still have quite a ways to go. I made it back to my car without passing out or throwing up, so I counted the day as a good one ;-) I figure I'll take today off...maybe go try to find some shoes and let my body chill a bit.

Oh and on another note, if you are interested in doing the Labor Day 5k, get me your registration forms and check by Friday and I'll take them by Strickly Running and get our packets as well. Or you can do it yourself. I just wanted to offer that service since I plan on going anyway. If we get the registration in before the day of, we will only have to pay $20 for the 5k walk.

Keep on runnin', friends!
