Hello Fat Secreters! I have been pretty good about recording my food, now I just have to record the exercise. I have been pushing myself REALLY hard. I have started to run 10K about 3 times a week, and when I'm not going to the gym to workout, I am walking 5 miles a day around the neighborhood. I feel like I might be pushing myself a little too hard. I intend to run in a 10K race this weekend - the race starts at 7am, grrrrrr. It is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. The 5K was kind of like that for me, but this one is more so. I am nervous - I know I will go too slow to be timed, but I know I will finish. I have tremendous endurance - I can run for an hour and 40 minutes straight with stopping only for water. What I don't have is speed. I cannot seem to run under a 14 minute mile. I know it sounds crazy, but as I meet this latest challenge, I am toying with the idea of doing a half marathon - 13.1 miles, probably in a year, 9 months from now, something like that. That's twice as far as a 10K, which is 6.4 miles. Now that I can run a 10K and I thought I would never get there, the idea of going twice as far as that doesn't seem as daunting. In the running world, there is a 5K, 3.2 miles. A 10K is 6.4 miles. A half marathon is 13.1 miles. A full marathon is 26.2 miles. Every benchmark is exactly twice as long as the previous milestone. I don't know - I will just run this 10K and then I will decide what I want to do.
