take that 2.5 miles!

I went above and beyond in my jog last night (1/25).
Being that I was sore for the jog two nights ago, I thought that I wouldn't try to risk muscle strain so I decided to run 2.5 miles.
I ended up running a total of 3.5 miles!
I was so proud of myself because I wasn't expecting to be running a 5k lenth until sometime next week! The only thing is that, of course, I am running slower than I was back in October so I guess my goal now for the next couple of weeks is to decrease my pace time.

Yay! I'll be racing in no time!
I'm so happy!

my first start in 2005

I am officially back on the running bandwagon after a couple months hiatus which was due in part to a nagging injury.

I begin 2005 with new goals of wanting to complete at least 2 half-marathons by the end of the year. I regret that I was unable to run the PF Chang Rock and Roll half-marathon in Phoenix earlier this month. Next year I will be there with bells on.
And so begins this journey.

Tonight I ran a total of 2.3 miles.
This seems to always be the number of miles that I complete when I take up running after a long break. Don't want to do to much and risk extreme soreness the following day.
The weather is quite nice in Tempe for evening jogs now.
I am taking it all in before the hellish temperatures started creeping in.
*le sigh*
