one hour and ten minutes

The build up to the half marathon in February has started. I ran for an hour and ten minutes today...this is 20 minutes more than I have ran for a very long time. My legs feel awesome!! Could have ran further but had strict instructions to be home by 7:30 this morning. Tomorrow is a swim and then Monday is my very first 5km race!
The local running club is starting up a 5km race series, the second Monday of every month. Coach Justin has been bugging me to find something like this for awhile so, here I go!! He says "Make lots and lots of mistakes. Go out too hard. HURT that last kilometer!! This is going to be great learning."
I am actually kind of excited. I don't think I have ever ran a 5km race. Too short. But I think that's the point. Run it hard and run it fast! Fast for me. And Jenna and Alex are going to be there so good times all around on Monday night!
And for PJ Susi:
