speed.

It's been decided, I need to start running faster.

I ditched the fitness center after about 5 minutes in favor of running outside in the humidity. I brought my water with me, and with the wind it wasn't that bad. My ankle has been bothering me, enough for Kayla to be worried about it, but I've learned how to ignore it while running, probably not the best idea. Outside I did my usual weaving around Clark campus, running from the kids getting out of school, and creepy men walking their dogs, but not running fast at all, taking my time. I'm unsure what it's going to take to make me run faster, but I need to find out soon.

Before my run, I filled out the registration for the half marathon in Oakland. I decided that I would fill it out, but not mail it yet, so it's currently sitting on my desk. Essentially, I'm waiting for three things.

1) I see my surgeon the Thursday after next, and ultimately I need to get his approval to be running upwards of 10 miles on the reg, especially at my six month point.

2) I'm going to call the woman in charge, and see at what point I can change my registration from the half, to the 5k on the same day. This is also dependent on what my surgeon says.

3) And lastly, my own motivation and training. Unfortunately enough, the t-shirt is not always enough to make me go running. I want to wait until I get home, and see how my running schedule goes.

yipeeeeee!
