Still Slow

I did my longish slow run Saturday instead of the usual Sunday morning before church because I was expecting to need to pick son up very early this morning* when he returned from a Band competition in Denver. After that, I knew I'd want to 'sleep in' and my long run just wasn't going to happen . Very Early as in he called at 3:45am asking me to be there in a half hour. Yikes!


If anyone was concerned that my earlier run this week might be an indication that I've lost rights to tuse my slow-n-steady moniker, the answer is a resounding NO. First 3 miles came in around 11:30 (which is what I was aiming at); Next three about 12:15 (a little slower, not bad); final 3 around 14:00 (mostly wogging - walking/jogging). Not exactly the confidence builder I was hoping for. Oh well.

Today was going to be a Sunday afternoon bike ride, but it was too windy for my taste and I had the overwhelming urge to make home-made apple pie. Hmmm. Skipped ride for apple pie. Wonder if that has anything to do with my ever-expanding mid-section? Nahhhhhhh....

  6. Say this out loud. "I ran NINE miles" Enough said.

    I'll even pick apple pie over chocolate, you made a wise choice. Of course I've got 30 pounds to lose, but apple pie season only comes once a year.

  7. Just keep pluggig away at it. Remember, when you build a strong foundation, you will get faster... Then we might have to change your title someday..

    Apple Pie with ice cream, one of my favorites..

  14. I gotta tell my friend about the term "wogging." She calls it jog-walking but your term is so much better!

  16. There's nothing wrong taking it one mile at a time at whatver pace you're comfortable with. You got it done. That's what counts.
