So...I ran a sub 10 minute mile this week. Its was 9:55 to be exact but who's counting? I was huffing and puffing down the road so much so that I think I scared the 2 kids walking their dog. I am defintely not the most graceful runner out there but as of this week I am a sub 10 minute miler...at least for the first mile...cant vouch for the 2nd, or 3rd...at least for now.
I created my running schedule for the next 6 weeks. It's a half marathon/10K training schedule. Since I have both races coming up I have to try to run enough to be prepared for both. Not sure if it is the most aggressive but I thik i'll be able to finish the half on my feet. (See the schedule below and feel free to copy.)
So we've sent out a ton of @rungordorun wristbands this week. And as we continue sending to different states it has inspired us to get 1 to every state in the U.S. We want to come up with a campaign to get the word out. I floated an idea to the Gordita that I would run a 50K if we could get the 50 States... 50K/50States. Thoughts? I was already planning on running a full marathon in January. I could just run a 50K instead or even just run it on the track in our town. Maybe on January 1st? Just a thought.
Well, tomorrow is my 5K. Going all out to break 35 minutes. I'll keep you posted.
Go run this weekend!
Vaya,
Gordo
