I am running in a 200 mile race with 11 other ladies in October. This race is called Ragnar. I have been training for this for months. When I started training in June, I could barely run and mile and every bone, joint and muscle would ache for days. Then I was running two miles without much protest from my body. I am now up to 4.2 miles without issues. This is one of those things that you put on your bucket list. We each have to run 3 separate legs. My first leg is the first one of the day starting with a 7.8 mile run. Holy Cow! I haven't run that far yet, and I stress the yet. I have time still to train, thank goodness. My second run is 3.5 and then rounding it off with a 5.4 mile run. I hope my body can with stand all the training I am putting it through. I am on a schedule to run M, W, F And Sat. On Tuesday and Thursday I cross train and lift weights. I can actually say I am in better shape now than I have been in years. I totally hate to get up and run in the mornings, but once I complete the run, I am so glad that I did it. I can't wait for this race. It should be a good bunch of memories.
