Guess what!!!! I got my Garmin Forerunner 305 on Friday. Who-hoo!!!! Now I can track my distance and time. I'm really excited to use it. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm going to meet with Saul today and do drills. I just finished eating cereal and need to start drinking water. I wanted to give everyone a quick recap. I ran 4 miles on Friday and struggled with it. It's that time of the month. Did you know that can effect how you run? I had no idea. I was out of breath in the first mile. It was hard, but I pushed through it. We also did some core work. I' plan on doing them tonight before I hit the sack. I'll need to write it on paper, so I can hold myself accountable. I also ran 3 miles on Saturday morning. My right side started to hurt during the course of the run. Saul said it's probably because my form was off balance and I wasn't breathing correctly. Yes, I have bad form and will try to be more mindful when I'm walking and running. Stick your pelvis and chest out. Walk like you're the sh@t! I was hoping not to struggle as much on my long runs, but I finished and pushed through it. Next time it will be a lot better. I have to say running on sand and grass is a lot harder than running on concrete or a track. I get winded faster, my body gets tired faster, and my legs feel a lot heavier. It's a good thing that I am training on different types of terrain, so nothing will surprise me when I run the marathon.

I'll keep you posted after my workout today.

Keep pushing forward!

Much love,
