So I haven't been able to run since my last 5K and yet today I have planned out even more races & challenges for myself. My BFF & I joke around about how we must have some kind of disease now cause we are constantly looking up fun runs. And of course w/ Facebook knowing your search history they are now always recommending runs to me. Something I think I left out of my Beach to Chowder post was while we were registering for the Beach to Chowder we almost decided to go for the 10K. Now in hindsight I am so glad we didn't because it was in sand. We have picked out or first 10K & 15K! *GULP* We want to do the Biggest loser 5K in Oct but we also were wishing it was a 10K feeling like we are going to be ready for a 10K by then. So I found a very flat 10K in the end of Oct! I am excited that for our first it is going to be so flat. It might be raining but oh well.
Then I kept googling. I found the Hot Chocolate 5K and I wanted to do that this last March but I was out of town. Well they have a 5K or 15K so our plan is to do the 15K next March. It requires a 15 min mile which is a min faster than the half marathon we are planning on in May. So I feel that if I can do the 9.3 in March at a pace of at least 15 mins miles then I should be good to go the Half Marathon in May. I feel it is good progression to help me feel confident as we are going. Right now after a week of no running at all it all feels a little intimidating. Yet I also feel it is doable and that is empowering.
