Did I write about this at all earlier? My plan to train for and run a marathon as part of my journey to "get my body back"?
That's a thing I'm doing.
ANYWAY, part of my training plan was to run a 5k, 10k, and half marathon before my full marathon on September 13th.
I ran a 5k on Pi day. It was a little perfect, actually. 3.1 miles on 3/14 - then taking tiny pies home from a wedding later that evening.
Since early March, I've been making an effort to slowly increase my run distance each time I went out. 1 mile, 2 miles, 2.5 miles, 3.1 miles, 3.6 miles, 4.1 miles, 4.5 miles, 5 miles...
I was a little nervous last week because I managed to run 5 miles on Thursday night... but cramped up at a mile and a half on Friday. So, I made sure to rest and stretch on Saturday, drink lots of water, eat mostly healthy food.
