Went for a 3 mile run this morning. Right on track with Mr. Hal Higdon. My dh is mad that I am moving on with out him. Trying to up my mileage before he can catch up to me. But I told my dh that I still have 1.5 miles to do 2 times a week, so I can run those days with him and hope that my dh ups his mileage on the other days. He wants to start listening to the couch to 5K. But he doesn’t want to start at the beginning. I don’t know what week he should start on. And he doesn’t have an ipod. We have 4 ipods in our house. Dd has one. I have one. Ds has 2, a big one and the nano. And he won’t let his dad download the C25K on the nano. So dh is thinking of using some points that he has to get himself the ipod touch. Here is the whining part. I WANT an ipod touch. I am hoping dh will get the touch and give it to me and then dh can have my ipod. So, I have to wait and see what he is going to do. My birthday is right around the corner and that would make a great gift I think. Plus, he wouldn’t be spending any money on it. It would be free. I think I need to start giving hints.
Back to my run. Felt good. Perfect weather. It sort of makes me sad thinking that fall and winter are right around the corner. I am not a rainy weather person. I hate running between raindrops. Maybe I will get one of those umbrella hats. HaHa. But working on the Hal Higdon program really gives me incentive to keep it up. It really seems doable. I felt great when I was done with my 3 miles. I even ran strong the last .25 miles. Usually I am dying, but I felt really good.
Tomorrow is 1.5 miles. I think I can do that.
