i'm so proud of myself! yay! :P

Yeah, so like I said yesterday, I was going for a run... and I did! What was great about it was the fact that I actually had at least a WHOLE hour to do my running/jogging/whatever you want to call it. Anyway, it just felt so good. What I've been noticing the last two runs was the fact that I'm actually not "out-of-shape" anymore. I don't think I am anyway, when it comes to jogging. Both times I felt good/okay... even after 10 minutes or more of running. Of course, the main thing now is that I have to make sure I have enough energy to sustain my pace/run for a long period of time, and of course, to improve on my time. I know I can definitely do 60 minutes of running/jogging cuz I just did it yesterday. Anyway, the Nike+ HumanRace10K is this weekend. I have never ran 6.2 miles before in my entire life so I'm really looking forward to it. I hope Mark and I do well or me at least anyway. I'm guestimating it's going to take me about 80 minutes or so from start to finish. Pretty much, my main goal is to finish it within the allotted time they give us, which is 75 minutes. Let's hope I do decent.

Anyway, Mark and I are going for a run today around Lake Merced. It's a 4.5 mile loop around the lake. It's not so bad... we've done it twice together before. Last time we improved on our previous times... both ran it under 50 minutes. It'll be our third time tonight so we're hoping to improve our times again. I ran it in 48:10 while Mark did it in 47:50. If we could improve our times by just a bit, I think we'll be okay for race day this Sunday. I don't know, I like to think if we can do 4.5 miles (or me... 5.7 miles), what's a mile or so more?

Alright, enough said. Update on this later. Oh, btw, I got on the scale this morning just as a status check... and the pointer thingy's below 105.. so we'll see! I hope it stays below 105 for this Friday's weigh-in... Ahh! :P
