Over the weekend I went for my long run, actually, my longest run ever. I ran 5 miles without stopping and I felt awesome!! It was such a great feeling of accomplishment and I’m glad I can say that I’ve reached this milestone. This week’s running schedule is pretty mild and I’m just preparing for my upcoming 5k race this Saturday. I’m so excited because I have a really good feeling about my pace and I think I’ll definitely be able to get that sub 30 time!
Today’s run was a 1.5 easy run. I ran it in under 14 minutes, which is the perfect pace for Saturday. Just hope I can hold on to that for twice as long.
My big treat of the day: a tall mocha frappuccino. SO good on this super hot day.
Short post because I’m in the midst of writing a 20 page paper that’s due Wednesday 
I’ll be back to normal after the race this weekend!
What’s your most recent running/fitness milestone?
Any big plans this weekend?
- Other than my race, I’ll be celebrating my 22nd birthday with my friends and also picking the winner of the giveaway!!
Happy (early) Birthday! I hope you have some fun things planned
This weekend I will be heading to WV to visit one of my good friends from Ohio State (and Med Diet)!
Thank you! Since my birthday is also called Cinco de Mayo
I will be having lots of fun around campus for sure! Have fun in WV 
Happy early birthday! I’m sure you’re going to do awesome on your 5k this weekend. My big accomplishment this last weekend was running 18 miles and finishing it. It was mentally tough & I wanted to quit, but didn’t.
That’s such a great accomplishment!! So inspiring
Hi, I was looking for “contact me” info, but you don’t have any, so I’ll just ask my question here
I started running last year, but was never able to run more than 2 miles at a time. I was just wondering what your training regimen was, how you’re increasing your mileage. Thanks! Congrats on the 5 miles!
Oh my goodness, you’re right! Thanks for pointing that out.
Send me an email over at therunningnovice@gmail.com and I’ll send you some information on my training regimen!!
congrats on the 5 miles!!! that’s awesome! I’ve been trying to run 3 miles at least 4 times a week. It’s not easy, but I’m trying to keep myself motivated!
That’s an awesome running goal! Good for you!!
Congrats on your run! And happy early birthday! A race is a great way to celebrate a birthday in my opinion.
I agree! And thank you
