Racing against my favorite opponent
I had an awesome run this morning.
I had an increase of .4 miles which is great (so I’m up to 1.8) and I’m running the entire time, not walking any of it, which is a vast improvement.
Since I missed out on the Gate River Run for this year, I’m going to shoot for the Shrimp Festival 5K on May 2nd
That will give me plenty of time to train to be able to run the entire distance without problem and start working on my time.
Since my runs are getting faster now, I need to find an additional cardio exercise so that I’m getting at least a full hour in every day.
My bike is a cruiser with gears, I may try that. Although, I’m not sure how rigorous it will be.
This morning I fixed Hank and I an Egg White Frittata with cauliflower (it’s what I had in the fridge) and I think that the egg whites and veggies are better fuel than my high fiber cereal and fruit.
Either that or my endurance is just getting better.
May be a combination of the two, anyway – it’s good to have some pre run alternatives when it comes to food.
I realized something today, while mapping out a training schedule for the race in May.
I think that now I’m at home, I’m not going to be focusing on competition at work – I’ll have to find competition somewhere (unless Hank feels like sparring in the living room)
I have always been my own greatest opponent, so it only seems natural.
Anyway,
I have a busy day ahead of me, going to see a friend who just got out of the hospital yesterday and then I have to come home and take care of a slew of chores.
I need to finish up here and get on with it.
Ta-ta!

Hi Meg,
I did the Shrimp Festival 5K last year and it was so much fun. It is a really great flat course at Fernandina Beach. I think you will really enjoy it. I don't know if I will do it this year or not because I think my dad is coming down that weekend to visit. I'll let you know.
