weekly check-in

Happy Monday (in almost all timezones)!

Inspired by [personal profile] ilanarama, have an inspirational quote: "There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you." Said by George Sheehan

How was your week, and what do you have planned for this week?

I ran 6.4 miles without a break on Sunday, the longest I've ever done! Then I just did 2 miles on Wednesday! But! I ran my first 10K race on Saturday! And I finished! (There was a tiny bit of walking in the middle but just so I could have a cup of water.) It was really hard (miles 5 and 6 especially) but also fun, and a bunch of my family was there and cheering for me at the finish line! Whee! I really want to do another one this fall. Yay!

Thank you! I think I'm going to sign up for another one on October 2! That seems like a reasonable amount of time to get better in (especially since I don't know if I'll be able to run much at all in July).
