Ran 2 miles tonight and finally dropped my pace below 10:00. Yay!!! I took very few walking breaks, despite a bad cramp in my side. The cramp eased up after about half a mile and was just a dull pain the rest of the way, so I was able to ignore it. I don't know if I'll have my pace down to 9:00 by Saturday, but I don't care. I'll be able to run the whole 5K, I think, and that in itself is enough to start with. I love running. I hope to keep running outdoors through November and buy a three month gym membership at the first big snowstorm. Hopefully that way I can keep it up through the winter and be ready for longer races next spring.
I guess there is another race the next day in Auburn that I could run, but I don't think I want to. Besides, taking Sunday off is not easy for me.
I was able to watch some of the Olympics marathon last night. I didn't see the finish, but I saw the first hour or so. Paula Radcliffe finished 15th place, a friend said.
