Day 56

So there are 56 days from today until my race. (going to Day 1 which will be April 11th) Wow, doesn't seem like long. Unfortunately, I did not run at all last week so today was pretty tough. I ran 4 miles in about 34 minutes. I am not going to lie, today was a tough one. I am living in a new area and not really sure where to run and I did not pick the best route today. I like running along highways but this one didn't have a shoulder the whole way. Ugh...the thing that is frustrating is that rather than get over in the other lane so

I could run along the white line, people don't. I wonder if they they care, don't see me, or purposely want to piss me off. Anyway, my pace was better today and I definitely enjoyed it more than the treadmill. I think I probably started off a little too fast, but I was so excited to be running. I have got to get my routine down, even when stuff is going on, I cannot slack. The fact that 4 miles was pretty tough is not good, but I must focus, fight through, and if I want to excel. There are so many opportunities living in the Austin area for pretty runs. Maybe tomorrow I will try to find somewhere to go. Note to self: I think I am getting tired of my playlist and need to update. Also, Saucony shoes are the best. I am pretty sure I will never wear another type of shoe. Let's see how far they can take me.
