This month's training schedule broke the runs down to minutes, not necessarily the run/walk schedule that made up February. Once we found the right pace I have been able to go the distance and run the minutes. It's amazing to me that 6 weeks ago we hadn't even started, and now I can run for 25 minutes straight.
I am still battling shin splints on my right side, but nothing like when we first started and I am amassing a nice collection of compression socks :-) Now I need to look at what to wear in the warm weather. This week it has been warmer and I am realizing that my workout capris are just too hot to run in with the compression socks.
But, now that the weather has started to warm up it is time to pull out the AT map and plan my next section, at least I am in my comfort zone there. :-) Time to show Becky how to do an overnight on the AT and knock out some serious miles! I do know that you burn more calories hiking than running - I looked that up when my husband was running.
Should be a fun summer and adding more miles to my sneakers. I wouldn't call myself a runner yet....I'm finding my groove, but I still feel like I am posing as one. But, as long as I have the right gear I can look the part :-)
Saturday I have 4 miles to do....by myself....
But, at least it is in Florida, so nice and flat!!
