Week 1 Recap

So Robyn and I started training this past Monday for The Speedway Run, which is a 10k in November which benefits Young Life. I'm really excited to continue the training and that I have a partner! I have been wanting to run a race for a while now but having a person that I can run with and keep me accountable is awesome!

Monday-was our first run and I know for sure I was out of shape but we only had 3 walking breaks in our 2 mile run and we were under 13 min mile pace which I think is pretty darn good! Plus it was great to talk to someone on the run : )

Wednesday-we went faster! We went a 12:13 pace! That's roughly a 40 second faster pace! We had shorter walking breaks and I think we were just feeling a lot better! Plus I loved our time afterward and praying for our training and each other. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend and training partner.

Friday-was our first walking day. It was great to walk with Robyn and talk but also feel like we were getting something accomplished. We are going to incorporate more more walking days next week but this week we worked out 4 days out of the week which was pretty good from the 0 I had been doing almost consistently since grad school started.

Saturday-this brings us to today. Our walking breaks were a little longer but that's cause we got new shoes Thursday night : )

Well that's enough for now! I'm watching Twilight with Robyn and Shannon and enjoying the fact that I finished a whole week of training!!!
