My first double-digit run!

3/5/11 - Day four: 10 miles in 113 minutes (1 hour 53 minutes) Scheduled: 10


I got frozen corn strapped to one knee and green beans strapped to the other with a huge milestone reached today- my first double-digit run is complete!

I borrowed Jonathon's Iphone and used a GPS app I downloaded a month ago. It worked great last time so I expected it to follow the pattern today and didn't check it to be sure. About three miles in, it stopped working consistently. :( This was frustrating because I really wasn't sure how far I'd gone. I didn't want to short change myself, yet I didn't want to go any further than I needed!

I decided I'd just run about 110 minutes and that should be around 10 miles if my calculations were right. Luckily, they were! I got home and checked the map and realized I'd gone 10.3 miles with my cool down walk of .2 miles.

What a great feeling. My knees started hurting around 8 miles but I pushed through it and I'm sure glad I did.

I Love Running!!
