I am Sorry I failed..

I know I have not updated in a couple of months now I believe.  Some days I hadn’t had time and others I haven’t thought of it.  I will continue to update from now on I promise.

My running and programs.  Here is what has been going on.

I took a week off between week 7 and 8 because my leg was hurting and I did not want to risk injuring it further and putting me out longer.  Week 8 felt great I was able to finish the time with no problem and was looking forward to week 9.  Well I think sometime between the start of work and the end off work I convinced myself that it was to cold and it was raining.  So I decided to take another week off.

So week 9, the supposed end of my program 30 minutes each run.  Monday and Wednesday went great was able to run the full time and felt like I could do more.  So Friday came and it was the last day of the program, all I had to do was do 30 minutes.    I started… pumped I think I went to quickly then I’m used to because I was only able to do 9 minutes.  Nine…. I was so disappointed in myself and I still am.  The day after I decided to run a 5k in the World Wide Festival of Races.  I went out and finished it, walked a little bit more than I would have liked to.   I finished it in 43.23 .  Pretty slow.  My goal now is to speed it up some and start setting some new PR.

I am not running for anyone else, I am running for myself and right now I am in first place.  I can only improve and that is what I plan on doing.  I will continue to run and to get in better shape.
