easy smeezy.

I had an easy 3.5 miles this morning. I was pretty tired when I woke up this morning, but I have finally gotten into the habit of running. It just makes my day so much better, so I pushed myself out of the bed and put on my running shoes. 

My trainer, Tanya, has told me to try and stay within a certain heart rate range, and not to go over 177. So I ran slow enough to stay right at 175-177 the entire time. I probably should have run further since it was at a pretty slow pace, but at the time I hit 3.5 miles, I was running uphill so it seemed like a good stopping point! I don't actually think I have ever said running 3.5 miles was easy! I am going to rest tomorrow because on Saturday I have to get up and meet my team at 6:36 to run! Although I am getting pretty good at getting up early in the morning, that still seems very early to me!

I went to the kick off meeting on Tuesday night. It was nice to see all of the people I will be training with, although I didn't really get to meet all of them. But I'm sure over the next 5 months I will have that opportunity. I am ready to start writing my letters and designing some postcards and other things to go along with my letters. I just have to get through this last week of school and then I will be able to concentrate on it a little more.

Thanks for all your support! I am getting really excited about the training and getting  to run with someone on Saturdays!
