Two days until the Big Race! I have my number, my Tufts 10K shirt (which is really pretty see thru, also I think designed by a man), and so I'm ready for the big day. I decided to get in one last run before the race, partly just to have one last run and partly because I've been a total bum all day (and ate pad thai last night, and then pancakes. And then today I had a burger and fries. Not really a weight watchers weekend so far.) Anyhow, I decided to make it a shorter run, but a little faster. I went only 2 miles, from my house, up to Ball Square and back. I even walked up my street. In the end it was slightly less than 2 miles, about 1.95 and it took me just under 20 minutes. So, about a 10 minute mile. I was running a little slower at the start to warm up, and I had to pause a couple of times at roads (though not really stop), so I'm going with 10 minute mile for most of the run. Not bad for me for a short run!
The Team in Training coach was saying that you should kick your feet back as you are running. Which I was trying to do, and it does work! If I was in better aerobic shape I could run faster. Ha! I guess that's pretty much the story for everyone. Anyhow, next entry will be the 10K - hope I can run the whole thing :)

About Me
- The Lazy Cretins
- I am not an athlete. I mean, really not an athlete. You know how by the time you are in second grade or so you know where you fall in the kickball team choosing order? I knew I was last round, even if a friend was captain. It's OK, I was good at the rest of school. But now it's time to push the boundaries and work on some fitness.
