I just wanted to give a huge shout out to everyone who has donated so far!! As of today, I have reached 10% of my fundraising goal of $2,000. It's really awesome to see so many people excited about the cause, and some surprising donors so far!!! I can't believe how much progress I've already made, and the race isn't until October :)
Now, back to the running!! Brian and I suffered through a 3.75 mile run last night. I had forgotten how heavy legs can feel after race day. It's important to do a short/easy run after a race to release lactic acid buildup. It's ALSO really important to stretch well before AND after a your recovery run. I didn't think it would be so hard, because I didn't put forward a HUGE effort in the race on Sunday. It felt like I had two lead weights attached to both legs, and Brian even made the comment "this is what out of shape people must feel like." It was fun to see Brian on the other side for once, since I'm the one who is usually crying behind him. He even told me he hated me for making him run, HAHA. Moral of this story: don't be a hero. Definitely sticking to the 2 mile limit of a recovery run next time. Not really sure what we were trying to prove...
