6 Miles

I went out for my first six mile run last night. I knew I would need to pace myself so my first two miles weren't taxing to make it. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. I was tired from the beginning. By the time I got to the 2 mile point I was a lot more out of breath than I would have liked. The third mile took me down Birdie Hills Rd and hills is a very appropriate name for that road. The hills were steep, long and many but I made it. By the four mile point I was on a good pace 41 minutes total time. Then I just died on the 5th mile and the 6th wasn't much better. It took me 30 minutes to go the last two miles. So I'm a little discouraged about the 10K I only have one more over 6 mile run scheduled between now and the race. I'm not sure I will really be up to doing it.

I need to get in two runs in the next 4 days. Jake is Busy 3 of those 4 nights and my parents are taking care of James and Rachel. So I think I am doomed to take out the jogging stroller or go out super early in the morning. Decisions I think I would rather get up early until it is actually time for me to crawl out of bed at 5:00 am then I feel totally different about the situation.
