Okay, so running is getting a bit better. I changed up my routine and discovered that I'm a morning runner. I do better when I hit the pavement early on in the day (around 5 am). Sure, it's still dark around that time and very creepy, but I seem to enjoy it. It's very hard to roll out of bed during that time, but so completely worth it.
Adam is in Indianapolis with his dad for the Final Four games, so I had to run without him today. In general, he makes everything so much better and running is not an exception. I'm so grateful that he has agreed to train with me. He keeps me accountable, motivates me, and inspires me. I'm looking forward to having my running partner back next to me. Those miles sure do seem like a lot longer when he's not there.
Our next race is on Saturday. We'll be completing in the April Fools 8K Run in Cameron, Missouri. That's 4.9 miles. I'm definitely more nervous for this run than I was for the 5K. My goal is to run the 4.9 miles in it's entirety without stopping. I've been running slower in the last two weeks so I have a feeling that it's going to take me over an hour to complete. To date, the longest I've been able to run was 5o minutes. I'm hoping that the excitement of the race carries me to the finish line. If the excitement doesn't do it, I'm sure Adam won't mind carrying me. That's what training partners are for, right?

Wow, I can't believe you have another race already! It seems like you just did the Snake Chase. How is Adam going to feel about running at 5am? Glad you got your momentum back.
