Barf It Up

This is what my trainer said today after we finished our run. One of the girls drank too much water and her stomach didn't appreciate it. Our trainer then told us that we should not be afraid to throw up. It's a sign that we're pushing our bodies' limits, which is what we're supposed to be doing. So she encouraged us to barf it up. I'm golden.

Today's run went quite well, up until I was told I should probably not do the last mile as I was already feeling dizzy. But! Other than that it was good. I've improved a lot. I'm getting stronger and building endurance. I even shaved a full minute off my mile. Granted, an average of 15 minutes per mile isn't even considered running by my fitness calculator, but I'm doing it and I'm accomplishing it.

I do need to better prepare my body for my long runs. I need to drink more water and watch what I eat, and, well, drink. This kind of thing is getting more and more important as I run further and further.

I'm getting there!

Yay for you! You are doing so well! Who would have thought a year ago that you'd be running 5-6 miles at a time....
