What a beautiful week in Kodiak!The weather is fabulous this week and perfect for running, walking and hiking (and all those things Kodiakans do).
I've approached training for Run the Rock a little like a procrastinator approaches homework; finding lots of other important and productive things to do while avoiding THE thing that must be done. I loved the weight lifting and dancing I did this summer and I don't want those to stop but if I want to have a fun 5K on October 9 I've got to put in the laps (can I get a no, DUH!?).
Yesterday my track buddy Michelle and I zipped around the track for 45 minutes. I thought I'd start running yesterday but its been so many days since our last workout that we decided to walk for four days before we start in on the running/jogging/shuffling. With 4 weeks and 3 days to go until Run the Rock, I was very pleased to wake up this morning with the soreness that says, "Yes! I DID get a workout!"
A bonus to walking/running with my buddy Michelle is that she's always up to take in a lecture with me. Last night we learned all about the amazing seabird the Kittletz's Murrlett in a wonderful presentation at the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Visitor's Center. Mind &
Body fitness!
Here's a link I found for how to move from 1 mile up to a 5K~ I'm going to give the plan a try.
