Well, my achilles hasn't been hurting me all that much lately but my left knee is giving me a bit of trouble. It is more of an ache than a pain so it will not stop me from running!
I ran 16 miles on Saturday. The weather was perfect - a bit chilly mixed in with a little rain. I run with two other girls and we decided to run a trail for about 6 of the miles instead of staying on the road. The trail was beautiful as it goes around Grapevine Lake and through some nice neighborhoods. It helped to have some new scenery to look at. We finished in under 2.5 hours which is a great feeling. I have FINALLY hit my fundraising goal..YEAH! I held a fundraising dinner at an Italian Cafe on Sunday to raise more money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. 100% of the dinner proceeds will go to The Society since my goal has been met. There was a great turnout, 46 people, and it feels great to help a wonderful organization. This coming Saturday is an 18 mile run and then I am off to the Bahamas for a week with Alex! Don't think I won't be training though. I have my handy-dandy GPS so I will be doing my regular training runs during the week and get to come back to a 20 mile run the following Saturday!!! |
