Today was my long run. I did four miles, with a warm up of a half a mile. I feel pretty confident that I will be able to accomplish the five that I need to meet on Thanksgiving. Now that hard part will be increasing my speed. Yikes. I did my run today in around 50 minutes. Not to good. I really was hoping that I would be under that for the whole five miles on race day. Well, I suppose that my time will get a bit better since the race day course is mostly flat and that there will be the element of excitement that a race provides. Hopefully I will not be the last person to cross the finish line. Hopefully I will not have to walk any at all. I did not walk any today, well except for my warm-up.
All in all I am proud of my accomplishment. I registered yesterday day for a 10k on January 1st. I should be really a run race, it is the inaugural race and they are going to have a lot going on afterward. My favorite is the promise of food and "adult beverages", woohoo! I can't wait. What a great way to start the new year.
