Paybacks a....
Woke up bright and early this morning in Oakwood, Texas to help my old bosses hook up some horses to their new cart. We were able to drive 3 horses and I rode 1 around for fun before I needed to depart at noon so I could get my run in this afternoon.
My departure was about an hour late, making my arrival back into Fort Worth around 3:30. I was planning on doing 16-18 miles, but because of the late start I set a goal at 15.
Lucky for me, my family is very supportive of my training. My mom, who is a new nursing student, gave up 3 hours of her valuable study time to bike beside me for all 15 miles along the Trinity Trails in Fort Worth. It was a ton of fun having someone to talk to for the 3 hours, and I really suprised myself when I was able to maintain a full conversation with her and not be out of breath while running. Milestone? I think, yes!
All-in-all, I'm happy with today. Still a little unsure as to how I going to be able to add 10 miles to the tail end of that run in less than 3 weeks...guess that's where Will-Power and 'mind over matter' comes into play.
18 Days til I fly out...holy moly.
Total Mileage: 15.03
Time: 3:06:51
Week Total: 24
