I wasn't able to run the weekly long run with my team today because I had somewhere else I had to be by 8:30am...and I'll tell you, after going through what I did this morning for four-and-a-half hours, I don't want to have to do it again (and hopefully I won't)! I don't want to say too much now, but it is one of the things I mentioned in my last blog that I may have exciting news about in the next few months....
Anyway, afterwards I went to City Island for my scheduled 7 miles. I ran around the island, then north on Front Street to Graham Street and back to my starting point on City Island, which ended up being 7.24 miles. It was VERY windy and blowing straight into me the first part of my run, which I am thinking affected my time tremendously since I ran it in 1:23:49 (11:30 min/mi - I haven't been that slow in a very long time). I am now using iMapMyRun almost exclusively, and I really like it.
Also - don't forget to check out my Team in Training Fundraising Page - I'm still at 51% and $1413.50 shy of reaching my goal of $2900.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this quote, which was just e-mailed to me by the Central PA Team in Training Campaign Coordinator for the San Diego Rock-n-Roll Marathon (she also shared that it was 74 degrees F in San Diego today).
"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES." ~Nike Ad
