Slow and steady wins the race....right?

Don't worry, I'm still running! I ran 4 miles yesterday and it felt really good! It was my second day outside, it's nice to have some different scenery. Although I feel reaalllly slow outside. Mainly because the only other people that run in cold weather are marathon runners. They are fast and super fancy with their water bottle belts and all. The nice thing is that everyone waves and smiles at each other, it's a good motivation to keep going. No one waves at the gym.

This weekend is 5 miles..... here's hoping it's as good as yesterday's run!

Still truckin'

Classes have officially been in session for 2 weeks now. That means I have to stay on my running schedule, otherwise it will get too easy to talk myself out of it. I still haven't upped my mileage much. I've been going about 2-3 miles. This Sunday I am going 4, I hope it's nice outside, I don't know how much fun 32 laps will be...

On a good note, I can run a mile in 10 minutes! I don't know if I've ever been able to do that, not even in the elementary school mile tests (which I hated by the way). Now, 10 minutes is if I'm running only 1 mile, I slow down a bit when I am running more than that :)

This birthday was a running birthday, an ipod nano, new earphones, running pants and a shirt. Verrrry nice. I didn't run sunday because 1: I was getting over my birthday celebration, and 2: I was coming to terms of being 25.......eek!
