Day 47 - Running in the heat

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there! My siblings and I are cooking my mom some dinner and got her some great presents. I can't wait for her to open them and enjoy her meal! And of course we are watching the Cavs together today! It's game 4 of the playoffs against the Bulls.

Yesterday, I was having some tummy trouble, but I took some tums and waited awhile, then went for a run. It was SO hot and I think I was a bit dehydrated, but my first mile was amazingly fast! 12:50. Towards the end of the run I was way too thirsty and just had to walk. I think I will begin taking water with me or run past my house a few times in order to get some water on these hot humid days! However, I'm still pleased with the time, just wished I could have finished strong.

yesterday's run

A couple days ago, I joined a beginner's running club with a coach at my local shoe store Fleet Feet. I am so excited to get started, but it doesn't start for a few more weeks, with the beginning meeting on June 3rd and the first run the Saturday after that. It's through No Boundaries sponsored by New Balance.

I'm trying to only run a few days a week to not push it and kind of rest up a bit since I have been so sore and stiff. As soon as my sister gets here on Friday through, we will be developing my strength training program so I can begin to build more muscles and start running faster!
