Today I jumped ahead schedule and did my four mile run. My friend Michelle and I have been planning for the past week to meet up and go for a run together. Today was the day that worked out for both of us and we actually didn't meet up until 7pm. Michelle is my friend from high school and she will be running the marathon with me. She has ran several marathons so she is a pro and will be my motivator. I'm so thankful to have her by my side. Michelle brought her two dogs on the run with us and that was quite interesting. They started off so fast and I was thinking that I'd never make it the whole 4 miles at this pace. She assured me that they would slow down after a bit and thankfully, they did. There were a lot of people walking around Lake Harriet this evening so it was quite a maze running between and around people. Michelle gave me some good tips to remember when training for a marathon, like remembering to take note of my body. If I'm too sore to run or I hurt then it is ok to take a break. It is most important to take care of your body and focus on long runs. It is ok to miss a short run here and there if need be. She said as long as I keep running and keep moving up with my miles I will be just fine. I feel like I'm off to a good start. Tomorrow I will be taking a rest day because I have to catch up on a lot of homework for my graduate classes. I'm planning on going to the library right after teaching summer school and staying there until it closes at 9:30pm. It is going to be a long day, but I just need to sit down and focus to really get things done. Wish me luck! Please still check out my blog tomorrow. I will be posting a commentary of something that has been on my mind lately with my dad and CJD. Please take care!
Much love,
Lacy
