Saturday Morning, Day 7

Nine miles.

I have never even come close to anything resembling nine miles. But I finished nine miles today, in better shape than I thought I would, tired and sore to be sure, but still moving well at the end of it all. And definitely better than the girl who fell apart last week. Still slightly off my fifteen minute pace, but it's getting back to where I was before vacation.

On July 22, my schedule says I'm supposed to be doing 13.1 miles. That's a half marathon! It's the day of the Fit for Life Half Marathon here in Boise, and while an option for everyone in the group, there are many who are signing up to officially take part in the race. I've been on the fence about it, but I've decided to go ahead and do it. I have a bit before I need to sign up, but I'm thinking it will be good to get a race under my belt so I can see what the experience is like. Watch out for that old dog, she's learning!
