After a well deserved day of rest...we started our 7th week of running today. 25 minutes of running...the second time ever we've run for that amount of time. We improved on our distance (2.3 miles) and pace (15:12/per mile) this morning...2/10ths of a mile longer and 30 seconds faster than Monday's run! I am so impressed with our progress in such a short amount of time and I am positive that all of our Spin training has prepared us to embrace running! Running has truly helped me through a very busy summer.
Most of audience knows that I'm a teacher and while the general perception of a teacher's summer revolves around the myth that they just sit around and do nothing...you all know that this is NOT true for many of us and it is certainly NOT true in my case. In fact, you might say that my summers are just as hectic as when I'm working with children each day at school. That said--I am convinced that running will help me stay balanced with all that lies ahead of me as this summer comes to a close...including a new school year beginning (tomorrow)...my very last doctoral class beginning (next week)...and the defense of my dissertation proposal (hopefully some time in September) leading to my research/writing of my dissertation (some time after the proposal defense).
It is my intent to continue blogging through all of this. Like running and spinning and yoga...I feel that blogging has helped me stay balanced.
