Now that the semester is over I can really get back to running. I took a swim class this semester and it really ate into my training. I’m glad I took the class and really improved my stroke, breathing, and learned how to dive. But running is really the only thing that keeps my sugar levels inline. Plus, I love to do it!
Ran the Borgess Half Marathon 2 weekends ago and it sure was hot! I think it was 78 degrees by the time I finished. Such a difference from last year when it was 40 something. I ran about 5 minutes slower than I wanted but finished a minute faster than last year. The heat can really make a difference. Below is me at the start. I’m the one in the orange shirt. My finish photo is too painful to share!
Borgess Half Marathon start.
I was a bit disappointed with my time so I decided to redeem myself an ran the Triple Creek Dash 10k last weekend. And redeem I did! I came in 10th over all with a time of 44:20 and placed second within my age group. The first time for me to place and my personal best. Now it’s time to train for the Chicago Marathon.
