1/2 Marathon Training: Week 1, Run 2
Today's 2-mile run wasn't too bad! The weather is perfect, the sky was still blue, and there were cute dogs a-plenty being walked round and round. Plus, I saw a chicken. An actual full-grown chicken, walking around in the middle of the street a block from my house, pecking at the ground.
My calves are definitely very sore, but I'm trying to stretch the bejeezus out of them post-run.
Even though I'm planning to follow a time-based rather than a mileage-based training schedule this time around, I didn't receive it until today, and since I started the week with mileage I'm going to finish it that way. I'm just kind of a mental case that way. I finished in 22:30, which is about right for me right now. Slow and steady and all that jazz. (P.S. I'm also posting over here.)

No, no...wait. A chicken? Just running amok in the streets? Is that the norm?
Not the norm at all! I did a double take and imagined it was the same random little chicken I saw a few years ago, all grown up.
I LOVE THESE REPORTS SO MUCH.
Great job on your second training run Eliza! Keep it up!
Jessie! I miss you.
Melanie: Thanks!
I miss you too! Also I ran a mile today and I can only assume it's because of your training program. I don't run. So that was awesome.
Jessie, that is awesome. Especially considering how you feel about running. I am very proud of you! You might have to join us for this damn race after all!
