Taking on the Charles

Two back-to-back days on the treadmill and I'm pooped out.

Had to run harder and faster than I wanted to yesterday because I was behind schedule and had a bus to catch.

What's great is that it seems my body is starting to accept the harder workouts! I have learned to breathe better which has helped with the endurance, I think.

We've been in pre-training and training for months and months now but it's only hitting now that we have a race coming up. We're up to 6 miles for this weekend's long run...gulp.

Anxious and excited about the long run, especially since I've always wanted to be one of those runners trotting along the Charles. Actually, more excited than anxious!!
