Run Number 2

I ran four miles on Tuesday. It was the first time in a while that I actually ran for an extended period of time. My biggest issue this week is with the cold! It is so difficult to leave the house when its 2 degrees outside and usually lashing with rain. I also find that the first mile is the hardest. It takes me a while to get into my swing and getting my breathing in a regular pattern so this part of the journey is just about tolerable. The second mile was easier and the last two were a gift as I really found my stride and the run was quite comfortable. I find if I drift off into a reverie its much easier. Note to self: create some drama on marathon day so I have plenty to think about!!!

I'm really loving my Nike+ trainers with the iPod link. As you can see below it tracks all my runs and times and because you can't input run times manually there is no cheating (damnit!) so all the stats you see here are 100% authentic. Go me!

Here's my latest run:



PS: Thank you to my friend Dave for telling me I can't do this. I am determined to prove him wrong!

Mood: Quietly confident although I'm bricking myself about the 10 mile run on Sunday!! EEK!

Challenges: The cold, the boredom, the first mile

Acheivements: 4 non-stop miles without collapsing

Love Michelle
