Sprinting... how amazing your body is if you let it be...

Feb First did 10.16 km in one hour 9 min. That includes a warm up and cool down of about 4 minutes either side of the actual run part...
A little bit quicker than my 10k a few weeks ago. And for sure did not feel as tired at the end.

Today was 12.9 km in 1h 30 min... again with a warm up and cool down on either end, but I decided to crank up faster and faster as I got closer to the goal. A full sprint for about the last km really made me realize that I can go harder. I can run those distnaces in faster times than I am right now and I can do this thing hard!!

Pushed through a bit of shin pain... well ignored it until it gave up and went away is more like it. Just stretched a bit longer and need to get started on my weight training to strengthen up those running muscles! The fact that I need to have a program made for me for the practicum part of my fitness certification helps me make an excuse for doing it! I would probably just ignore most of the strength stuff unless I have a trainer (who I work with and am probably friends with) pushing me along.

All is well in the world of Britt... I'm off to read about carb loading and find articles on the best sports bras the world has to offer...
