Saturday we met as a team and ran 7 miles around downtown and the Pearl district. The weather was perfect: mid 70s and mostly sunny! We had a place to stop after four miles and get water, which helped a lot. I'm going to start having to figure out how I will carry water or get water when I go on those longer runs.
On a another note, the ball of my left foot and toes fell asleep around mile three. I knew I had to get new shoes because mine are worn out, but that means I'm really going to have to get new shoes before I run too much more. Sleeping feet are a common sign of bad shoes. It's amazing how quickly shoes wear out, even though I only use them an hour a day!
This week we are taking a 'rest' week and running just five miles. They plan these weeks in so our bodies can rest up and recover a little bit after running so much. I am very thankful for the rest week because I went bowling yesterday on my tired legs and now one of the muscles on the back of my leg is reeeeally sore!! I've been icing it and taking it easy today....I'm going for a walk tonight to try to stretch it out a little bit and be back to running tomorrow.
My fundraising is coming along OK. I am pretty focused on getting a job right now, so my fundraising hasn't been completely active. It will come though!
