I did 4 miles this weekend with the Team Playmakers group at Hawk Island Park. It was fun. Very nice wooded trails..I can't wait to run them in better weather. We do part of the run through a cemetery..LOTS of hills, and so my time was a lot worse than what I normally do, but I didn't really time myself too much. I think I was still somewhere in the 13-13:30 min mile range when factoring in my walks. I've realized I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I think my run pace is probably closer to 12 min miles or less, but with the walking I slow down a lot. I'm hoping that in the next month I'll build enough endurance that I can start working on a little bit of speed. I'd like to do the marathon closer to a 12-13 minute mile even with my walk breaks.
I bought a wool t-shirt at our clinic last week. I LOVE WOOL! It keeps me warm and doesn't feel like a wet sock when I'm done. I know wool well because I knit and spin it, but I never, EVER thought of wearing it for exercise. I have a whole new respect for those cute little sheep now. :)
This week is 3 miles 3 days, and then another 4 miler this weekend with the Team In Training group. Then I go do a fundraising thing at Younkers and hopefully get some good donations! :)
