38 days to 5k
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 by Lindsey
Today I ran 3.1 miles in 47 minutes. Which was very frustrating. I went out intent on beating my Sunday time (46 minutes) and ended up being one minute over. Grrrrrr. I'm trying not to make excuses. I have a whole slew of 'em, but I'm going to try to just accept responsibility and push myself harder on Thursday. Tomorrow is cross-training at the gym.
I have really been enjoying the fall weather the past few days, makes running outdoors much more enjoyable. The only con is that I get too cold to wear sleeveless shirts and running shorts which means I get less tan. Molly and I went outside and played in the leaves yesterday which proved to be a really fun autumn photo shoot.
I finished my first assignment for my HTML class today. It was technically the first day of class, but I read half of this week's material yesterday, finished reading today, created and uploaded my assignment. (I feel so productive.) I also had a fun conversation with a Turkish student I tutor in ESL, she had discovered the magic of acronyms and was so very excited at how efficient they were! Fortunately for her, I love acronyms and was able to passionately share her excitement. She also gave me a bit of a challenge, in asking for me to define the words "would," "should," and "will." :-)
Now, my sweetheart has signed into IM and I am going to spend the rest of my evening chatting with him and doing a bit of picking up/cleaning.
