Sunday's Run: 2.89 miles: 22:35, 7.46/m (approximate - my phone died 2 miles in)
Yesterday's Run: 2.91 miles: 23:16, 7.59/m
I've signed up for my next run - the Martian Invasion - a 5K run in Dearborn. It's as big of an event as they come. Medals are rewarded to top 5 in each age group, which seems rather deep - but there are probably 30 strong runners to compete with. If I win a medal at this event - that - will be a medal worth celebrating.
I'm also running on a smaller venue on May 3 (locally - in Madison Heights). I'm even more fixated on this one. It's so small - I'm aiming for an overall top finish. All it will take is about five 90 pound 16-yr-olds to squash that goal - but I'm aiming for it regardless. I have entire month yet to train. So long as my knee holds up - I'm dreaming big!
Because of these goals, I am running non-stop - like never before. I am so desperate to improve! It took all my strength NOT to run today (what would have been five days in a row). I know my muscles and knee need the rest. But I got some push ups and sit ups in - so feeling good tonight - and hoping for an epic run tomorrow.
