So today marks my completion of 4 weeks of training! I have raised $1,350 so far through the support of my wonderful friends and family (if you have sent me a donation and you're name isn't showing up on my fundraising page yet it's because they haven't processed your check yet, but it will show up soon)!!
Yesterday I ran for the longest distance and farthest time yet! Coach Mike made us run for 50 minutes around Wash Park (we were only scheduled for 40)! I ended up running 4.00 miles with an average pace of 12:35/mile. My pace increased a little, but I think it is mostly due to the fact that I have been running inside on a treadmill instead of outside. I need to start running outside more to get acclimated to the weather and terrain.
Since I have started running/training I have really tried to sustain an all around healthier lifestyle. I have given up Starbucks and Fastfood until my training is over, and I am eating almost every meal at home...chicken, fresh fruit and veggies, salads, and lots and lots of water! I have lost 2.49% of my starting body weight...an added bonus of healthy diet and exercise!!
18 more weeks and $650 to go!! :]
