This morning I got up for a little "fun run" put on by The Big Peach Running Company in Decatur. It was a Resolution Run 5k - but not a race race, more like a legit honest to goodness, get out of bed, quit being lazy group run. I liked the idea and I liked that it was free and seeing how I have a half marathon in like a month I figured I needed to add to my Pure Barre work outs.
The 1st mile was good. Honestly, cannot complain about it. The pace of the group was good and manageable and I was just cruising. Around mile 2 my legs started to get tired. I think it was a combo of the hills and the Pure Barre workouts. So I started taking walk breaks. I wanted to listen to my body and not push myself too hard. I actually buddied up with some lady who said "I want to keep up with you" and it kinda shocked me since I was slow and trotting around. Mile 2 - 3.1 were the most unfun just because of hills and my tired legs.
The ran out of water at the middle point so by the time I got back to Big Peach I was thirsty and was getting a headache. And they were handing out "resolutions" on the run - but I got so tired of carrying them, I ended up ditching them. But one of my resolutions was to buy new spring gear. Yeah right - I am poor!
What I have learned - I need to foam roll and stretch out my muscles a little bit more! =D
But I came home to deader than dead laptop which sent Kyle and me to Best Buy. Oi. But that means I got to load my Garmin onto my computer and it actually works!! So now I can look at elevations and my splits again.
...but, I have a lot of work to do. But I am headed to FL tomorrow and I want to do some beach running!!
