WE DID IT! We set out today to run 3kms straight and then walk the 4th one and we actually did it. I'm not really sure whats going on here. I mean, its really tough and the last half kilometre just sucks every time but we seem to be able to go longer with each run. It could be that we've been out three different times of day, or that we've had different things to eat, different amounts of water. Who knows? It could also just mean that our endurance is increasing as we go. Yeah!
We've been running in Gage Park. Its just up the street from where we live, which is convenient, but its also a really great place to run. The shade is just right, there is a lot of space and watching the seniors playing bocce ball is fun, too. We were given some advice on the weekend*, which was to keep it fresh and change our route. We decided to take that advice today and we went clockwise around the park instead of our usual counter-clockwise. What a difference! I think we'll stick with that direction when we go out on Thursday with a goal of 4kms.
*Becky, please thank Mark for his advice at the cottage! Let him know that we're open to any more he wants to give. :)
You guys are rockstars....i started running with my sister a few years ago and could barely make it 3KM without dying. Then I started doing 10 minutes of running and 1 minute of walking and it totally helped and we went on to do two half marathons! YOU CAN DO IT!!
