I know I am, because I got up this morning at 4:30 to run! I MUST be a runner to do that, right? Never mind that I had just slept for nearly 18 hours. Yes! 18 hours! But I was up for the 30 hours prior to that, so it all evens out.
If I thought I was out there all alone on Saturday morning, I was REALLY alone today! I was up and out before most of the birds! Today was my longest run yet - both time and distance. I ran for nearly an hour, and ran the whole time with no walk breaks. I did go a little slower than I have recently, but not much and I was really concentrating more on running the whole way - granted, most runners probably cover the same distance in about half the time, but I wasn't trying to break any speed records. Good thing!
I know I said that I signed up for the Lansing Half-Marathon next April and a friend pointed out this weekend that it's 6 months after my first half marathon. Six month to the day! I thought that was pretty cool. I knew that it was about half a year after the Detroit Half, but didn't really pay attention to the details. I think that will be a great way to commemorate the completion of my first one! Follow it up with my next one exactly six months later!
I wish something exciting would happen on my run so I had something more interesting to report to you. Maybe when I start carrying my pepper spray! In the meantime, I'll be out again tomorrow morning for a shorter run, so I'll check in here again after that.
