Did my distance run today. I'm doing 6 miles right now and adding a 1/2 mile per week. Once I get to 10 miles I'll add 1 mile per week. My goal is 14 miles as I plan to do a half marathon in September. Also works out great because the East Boulder Trail where I mainly run is 7 miles long so out and back is 14 miles. Right now I am doing run/walks for the 6 miles with 8 min running and 2 min walking. It was a pretty, sunny day but the wind was so strong! The worst hill I run was straight into the wind. I didn't think I would make it. Lynn, my husband, ran with me, and he's such a sweetheart - he tried to block the wind for me. But I was a little too slow for him and that didn't last long. We were entertained by all the people out flying kites in the wind. There were some pretty cool ones out there.
Pretty tired now, but a good tired. Having a glass of wine before heading into the kitchen to make dinner. Going with grilled lamb and spring veggies. Happy Easter!
Total distance (including walking warm up and cool down): 6.75 miles, 1h 24m, 12:31 pace
Wine can melt away the miles one has just run... The grilled lamb sounds fantastic too.
