Outdoor running...
Outdoor running is A LOT different than running on a treadmill. I ran outside today for the first time for my training for the big race. Needless to say, I am not a great runner. I have a long way to go to get to 8miles in 90minutes (thats my goal). I ran 3.1miles in 45minutes, thats a 14minute mile!! UGH!! Granted, it was HOT and my first outdoor run. The treadmill is nice because it paces me. I think I will continue to train both on the treadmill and outside. For one, I need to learn what a good pace feels like and then transfer that outside. So, 3.1 miles done so far this week 5.9more to go. I need to pick up my pace!

Kandy! You're doing great! keep in there, make sure you also get your breathing into a pace as well, when I was running I would do two breaths in (short ones) and two out, and I would coordinate the breathing with my steps...it helps your lungs and puts your whole body into a good rhythm...keep it up! There's going to be I think an 8 mile run the week of or right before Genoa Days! As long as I'm home I'm going to walk it, but you should totally run it!
oh yeah...HAPPY 11MONTHS TO JACKSON!
Kandy, I am SO proud of you!!!! It's always great to have a goal to be motivated to work towards. Way to go sister, keep up the hard work!!!
