Comments: I DID IT!!!! WoooHOOO! My first five mile run is under my belt.
I mapped out the course on mapquest before I left, and it took me on a road I have never been on before that didn't really have a shoulder or a sidewalk. I don't think I'll run that course again. That part was right in the middle too, making it even tougher.
By far the best/most empowering part of the run was passing the gym: 1.3 miles to my house from there, but because I added in some warm up/cool down walking distance, that meant I only had ONE MORE MILE! When you've done 4 already, what's one more? It felt so great! 52 minutes, in spite of a couple short walking stretches in the middle.
The outsides of my ankles got a little sore for a while. It feels like maybe I am running more on the inside of my feet. Maybe I'll try some insoles with a little more support.
I forgot my ipod. I think I need to find a way to stay hydrated--so thirsty!
Yay ME!! :D

No kidding, yay me. You are doing great, honey. I have never done anything like that and I admire your discipline.
Sorry I didn't make it to your house today...I totally drove home the way I'm used to. But I hope you and Mike and Kate will be at Layla's blessing tomorrow night.
Hey, maybe the sore ankles are because of that uneven ground you were running for a while. Y'think?
Love you to death, honey.
Mommy
That's huge! Good work Lydia. I think you're going to do great on your half marathon. You can race twice as far as you train. Trust me. I've tested that theory out.
Yay for you! I am so excited for you! I started my training and I have to say, thanks for the recomendation of 'the non-runners marathon trainer'. I'm loving it. I think your mom is right about the ankles if you were on uneven ground. Just wondering what are some of the songs on your IPod? I'm trying to put together a good running playlist. Way to go!!
