To accomplish great things, we must not only
act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

fun week

Sunday 11/17 - 3.5 miles
Wednesday 11/20 - 8 miles
Friday 11/22 - 3.45 miles

I ran with a friend on Sunday, which is always nice (understatement!).  After over a year of training alone, it is refreshing to have a conversation while exercising and most likely burns more calories. 
If not, it at least gives the illusion of being harder.  There is a small lake near his house and we run laps around it.  This is another refreshing aspect that reminds me of high school track - the laps, that is...not the small lake.  It does not look refreshing.

On Wednesday, I ran with my two friends with whom I ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February.  We ran-walked 8 miles, which involved Victoria keeping the pace - 1 minute running , 4 minutes walking.  It was a different workout for me - I usually just run - and it was pretty challenging in terms of my body not being used to that kind of movement.  Aerobically, I was in great shape.  My other running friend, Morgan,  is running a marathon in about a week, so this method is how she is tackling the second half.  She plans to run the first half.  At our pace, with this method, I would finish a marathon in 6 hours, which isn't bad considering my tertiary goal for London is under 5 hours - the first two goals being finish, and have fun.

Yesterday was my first day of dog-sitting for a friend and co-worker.  When I got to her house, I leashed up Sherman and Stella - her two pitbulls - and headed out.  This was my second run with Stella and Sherman.  She just adopted Stella from a rescue a few months ago, so I had taken her out for a test run by herself that month.  I run with a leash in each hand, with one dog on each side.  I ran past a school where kids were walking around a track and the dogs got lots of catcalls.  Sherman especially always gets the compliments.  Overall, a nice, diverse week of running.
