Running in the sun without any shade is no friend of mine. This was the first time my back and upper body were sore going into the end of the run. That's when I realized I was slouching and pulled myself up and kept going. When I turned the corner onto my last quarter mile, I saw my teammates waving me in! And as I came to the end of my run Aderra, Michelle and Charlotte were there cheering me on! It was awesome and it gave me the last boost of energy I needed! GO TEAM! On Sunday I was in Sacramento for Easter and convinced my mom to go on a short run with me. I am trying to train her to be a part of a marathon relay in October (6 miles per person). She had told me she had gone running before, but would run a couple minutes, walk a couple of minutes, never a continuous run. I told her she wasn't allowed to walk on Sunday and she looked at me like I was crazy. So... who ran 2.1 miles? MY MOM! We even kept up a pace a little faster than what I usually run. GO MAMA! It's more about the keeping a pace than it is the raising.... of your speed! ;)
I swear there is some multimedia coming soon. Keep checking in!
