So I've been working on my running and looking forward to doing London's Run at the end of January. I've run ten miles without stopping so far and felt like I was doing good! All of the sudden Darin
decided he was going to do it too. He started looking at the times that people ran it in the last two years, and He
decided he was going to run the Half
Marathon at a pace of 8 minute miles. Darin
hasn't done any running since we've been married, so I chuckled at him. He took that as a
challenge and one week later he's running 7 minute miles for like four miles in the mornings. There is no way I could run seven minute miles...I've been running for a couple of months in the mornings and I only run like ten minute or eleven minute miles (on long runs).. I am amazed he can do that, I thought he'd give himself a heart attack or something. Although I know he's mostly doing it to prove me wrong, I'm happy that he is finally getting regular
exercise!!!
Good for you guys!! I need your motivation!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous. Hugh refuses to run; he blames it on having to do it to much in the navy. And I never get enough times to go do it regularly!!! A half marathon? you are brave. One day I'll feel confident enough to that! I did however run a 5k in Boise with ant Michelle. I did it in 28 minutes! I think that's a little over an 8min. mile. Good job sista. I can't wait to run with you one day. We will have fun together. I'll let you coach me!! You are gonna be so good at this one day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! That is awesome that you are running up to 10 miles at a time. I wish I had time to do that. Someday! Seth is the same way. He wont work out for several months and then run 5 miles like it's nothing. Wish I was like that.
