Days 1 & 2

So I realized I never posted my run from last night. So, I'll post yesterday's and today's runs. 

As I said yesterday, I started a challenge to run 100 miles in April. So far, I am right on track. Once I decided to do the challenge I figured out about how many miles I would have to run everyday, which came to about a 5k. Since I'm doing a mini marathon in exactly ONE month from today, doing a 5k every day, besides my long run, would probably be a good idea. 

So, yesterday I ran 3.25 miles in 42:52. It was really difficult. The first mile was the worst, but as the saying goes, "Never judge a run by the first mile". I always take my phone with me and use Spotify and RunKeeper.  I like RunKeeper because every five minutes it will tell me how far I have run. This is nice when I'm struggling but want to keep on track to my goals. The weather was in the 70s, but there was no wind and it was humid making for a very hot and sweaty run.

Today marked day two of my 100 mile challenge. It went better than yesterday but was still hard. I ran 3.20 miles today in 41:58. My mile time was just a smidgen faster, even though I felt slower. About halfway through my run it started sprinkling and as soon as I got my 3.2 miles in and stopped, it started raining a little harder. Weather was perfect though and I'm glad I got my run in before 9am. 

Until next time,
Samantha
