Marathon training Day 2






I hit the gym at 6:15 for some cross training. I remembered last night that I had to finish the field test for the HPE class I am taking at ORU. So, I walked 2 miles on the treadmill in 24:05. The field test needed to be walked, not run. I do not think I have ever walked that fast, and I realized about halfway through it is much easier to run a 12 minute mile than it is to walk a 12 minute mile. It was a nice walk, and helped to stretch out the soreness in my legs.
My goal this morning was to run the field test in under 24 minutes, which would be 100%. I fell just short, at 24:05. I was briefly disappointed with the prospect of getting a 99 instead of a 100, then I remembered the class was actually pass/fail. That is what I get for my vanity!
