Foto Friday - Ten Minutes & 8K Runs

My Goal was to run Ten Minutes and take a picture of whatever after Ten Minutes. That didn't happen. After a rough week at work- I didn't want to move nevertheless Freyja the Mutt MUST have her walk so we walked instead.

ACTUALLY - You can get the same benefits from Walking Two Miles as you can Running two miles. I am in it for the Challenge. Every morning before work,
the Mutt and I run and sometime trudge that old dirt road. It can be raining, snowing or sleeting. Freyja the Mutt doesn't care.

In a few weeks, I will be going to
Virginia Beach for an 8K Run. My older who is going to Georgia Tech will be driving to Virginia Beach to be in the run as Well.

Thank You God! We were too late to register for the Half Marathon. A Half Marathon is 12 Miles. An 8K is to 4.97 miles.
4.97 Miles is doable for this old Girl.


So Yesterday, I did NOT run a mile in Ten Minutes. I ran it in Eleven Minutes. All I have to do is run this 8K in 11 Time 4.97 Minutes but if it takes a little more time than that, I'll be happy.

You might be an "old girl", but at least you can get out there and run an 8K. Given the shape I'm in at the moment, I'd be lucky to do half of that. Good post --- thanks much.
