Well, today was the day of my trial run. I traveled down to where I grew up and decided to see exactly how long it would take me to run 3.1 miles, oh and before I forget to mention this, it’s raining and windy!
The course that I picked up for me, I knew was going to be challenging due to the fact that it was mostly hills and just one hill along was ONE MILE long alone! As I started out, I started thinking to myself that this isn’t so bad...but as time wore on, my thoughts were changing. I kept thinking to myself, what did I get myself into…why did I agree to do not only this 5k coming up on Sunday, but why did I think that I’ll be able to do a marathon in October?!?!?!?!
By the time I made it back to the starting point, I’d been out there running for one hour and 11 minutes. I started thinking to myself, that’s not a good time for 3.1 miles….then to my surprise, my mom tells me that I didn’t just run 3.1 miles, I just ran 4.2 MILES!
