Hello!
It has been a while since I last blogged! Today is the first day back from spring break! I have not blogged over my spring break but I still have been working on my project of course! Over the break I continued to do the schedule, we are limited on time because the race is coming up soon! It is less then a month away! We are deflfitianlly doing the Irongirl race in Clearwater on April 10th. Yesterday I registered for the race so that was exciting! My dad is also booking the hotel this week. We are going to go up the day before because the race is at 7 am the next morning. Brittany was in Colorado most of spring break so it was very different doing our training by ourselves. We both agree that it is much easier having a partner through this process! Friday morning we met with Kristi and it was one of the hardest sessions we had with her! We were both extremely sore after! But it felt good to be back and training together! Then Sunday ( yesterday) we had our 6  mile run. This was another extremely hard day! It was not only our long run, but we were still tired, and we went at 12 in the afternoon so it was extremely hot out! I  also did not drink enough water before and I was getting bad cramps! This is all good to know because we would not want that to happen in the real race. Much rather that happen during one of our runs. We also started off running for 5 min without stopping and walking for 1 for the first 3 miles of our run yesterday. I am so happy we tried this out because we both agree that if we run until we are tired and walk for a few min then we have more energy to finish the race! This sunday we are running a 5K at Markham park. I think that will be fun and it is also good practice to get the feel for what the race is going to be like. This afternoon I have my mentor meeting with Coach Love. I am excited for that because I did not see him at all last week! Ill be back to report later!
