Wet 5K After Race Was Cancelled
Decided to get my #5K in even though the Saturday Slip n Slide one was canceled. #HWI #Run4Water #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon
Getting My Butt Out Of Bed And Hitting The Pavement
Another one of those mornings that took some extra effort to get it of bed and get out the door. I really had to fight with myself to not just go back to bed. Always feel even better when I finish a run knowing that I overcame the desire to just stay in bed. It becomes an easier decision when you think about giving up a little extra sleep for the cause of bringing people clean water. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water
Getting Out The Door And Pounding Some Pavement
I went from half falling asleep while I was getting my shoes on to pounding out 5.9 miles. All it takes is getting out the door. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water #GodTime
Running 6 Miles And Feelin’ Fine
I keep wavering on whether to stop the half marathon training plan I’m on and switch to the #HWI #GRMarathon #training plan or not. When I get 6+ miles in and feel good I find it hard to go back to just 3 miles. The longer runs also mean more #GodTime so there’s that aspect as well. ? #HessLakeRun
Race Pace Training Run
#HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water Only a little wet this morning but it actually felt good by keeping things cooler. Tried to keep at a race pace but as usual my pace was a bit of a roller coaster. Even with music I can’t keep it very consistent from one minute to the next. I need to work on that, but perhaps my consistent race pace is slower than I’d like it to be and that’s why I have such a hard time. I know that I was pushing the limits given how high my heart rate would get. I think maybe it’s time to put aside the training plan that is trying to get me faster and just get out and enjoy the run. Not…
Pushing The Limits But Remembering Sierra Leone
Tried to push myself to my limit on pace this morning. I’m still not going to win any races but I like seeing where all day physically. Even in spite of my focus being on the physical God was reminding me of why I run, by bringing back memories of those I met in Sierra Leone. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun #SierraLeone
