Day 7 & 8 Rest and Run!

On the 7th day, we rest!

Although we just rested last Friday, for the remainder of our training Tuesday will be our rest day.  This is because Amy and I both have class on Tuesday evening, making it almost impossible to do much training.  So while we weren't raising our heart rates or pounding the pavement we spent a full day working and going to class, so I suppose you could call it our mental workout day. :)


Wednesday, though, we were back on it. Due to the fact that I have class on Wednesday too, our short run was done seperately. I ran after work around the city and pushed myself a bit harder today as I was alone. Since I am male and a good bit taller than Amy, it makes it a bit easier for me to run faster.  I paced at just under 11 minutes per mile and felt pretty good running the whole 3 miles. It's kind of surprising to me to think that running 3 miles straight is becoming less of a chore.

Amy did well also running the whole 3 miles.  She also made some cool purchases. She got some new Brooks running shoes, along with a fancy new sports bra, some compression leggings and socks. Now she's super fancy!!!
