Hey everyone!! So...we finished week 2 yesterday with our first double digit run!!
We ran 3 miles on Friday (according to our schedule) and ran a 10 mile run on Saturday morning!! Both runs seemed like a struggle for me for some reason but I got them done. We ran a 10:07 pace on Friday and a 10:20 pace on Saturday.
I don't know but I have an idea that the long runs are getting to me because we are running them in the neighborhood with traffic and stops. I can handle the 4-5 mile runs in the neighborhood but when you start looking for places to run 10 miles it gets harder.
Today we went for a bike ride on a trail I heard about and I think we have our long run trail. It is mostly flat and lined with crushed limestone. We are going to run our next long run there and see if it is a better place to run.
Our next race is June 20th and is a 15k race that is refered to as the "toughest 15k in the midwest". I heard that it is very hilly but I don't know to what extent yet. I am trying to find out more info about it before than but it seems difficult to come by.
This week we are slated to do 22 miles total starting tomorrow with a 4 mile run.
Until next time....we will keep running toward our goal!!!

good day...you asked me on the c25k forums if I was doing the Chicago Rock & Roll Half - the answer is YES! I'm pretty excited about it - there is a group of 5 of my friends (we all turn 40 this year) doing it together. I hope you do sign up - it would be cool to know a fellow c25k"er" is there!
