Saturday's run went well. It was soo cold though. I should have worn a heavier running jacket. It was perfect for the run but afterwards during our fundraising clinic, it definitely wasn't thick enough.
I've made friends with one of my teammates who seems to be at the same pace as I am. We kinda of have this support system. I think it will be nice to have a running partner. Now when I say run, I really mean, run AND walk - a Wunner. With my asthma it just makes sense. There are actually quite a few wunners on our team. We just have to find the right pace to get us across that finish line in less than 3 hours. Well that's my goal at least. If I were to RUN the 13.1 miles with a 13:50 pace, I'd finish in just a tad over 3 hours. I have a goal to get down to at least 10 minute miles and then see where that will get me. This is definitely as challenging as I thought it would be.
Tomorrow I've got to go for a run for about 30 minutes. We'll see how far I can go.

There's more room in my mouth now
Wow! I just realized it's been almost a week since I last wrote. Not a lot has happened, but I'll share anyways.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled last Friday which really put a damper on my training schedule. I haven't felt much like doing anything. The pain just kinda sucks. I can't take Vicodin since it makes me sick so they gave me codine (tylenol with codine). Not as strong but for the most part it does what it's supposed to. I've been taking it with some Advil, which in the end makes me kinda loopy/dizzy. I ran out now but the doc says that since I'm healing well to just take Advil when I need it...which right now is like 3 times a day. It sucks because it's just one of those uncomfortable feelings in my mouth. Mainly it hurts in the morning and the doc said it was probably because I've been clenching my teeth while I sleep. Who knew!
So I haven't really run since Friday morning. I did do my 2 miles before the oral surgery, which was a total mistake seeing as how I forgot I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours prior to surgery. Duh! Oh well. They were able to do it anyways since it was just water that I drank.
Now that I'm feeling more up to actually running - I missed playing soccer for the past week - I think I'm going to try and do a run either tonight or tomorrow. We have a group run this Saturday morning down in Mission Beach for about 45 min and then there's a fundraising clinic afterwards. I'm looking forward to both.
I just got word that some of the company matching went through. I'm now $500 closer to my goal of $3500!! I think that brings me to a total of $1695.99! Wow. You guys are the best. Please keep passing on the word to all your friends and family. I hope to reach $3500 before June.
I'll let you know how the run on Saturday goes. Til then!
