For those who are considering it, I do NOT recommend running 2 half marathons in the same week. I am so unbelievably sore that even my hair hurts.But here goes...
Last weekend I ran a half hosted by one of my alma maters, which I found out after has the reputation as the hardest half in Texas. After all of those hills, I totally believe it. Even though I added 6 minutes onto my time, I was happy with the race. And then came this weekend, when I ran another half. This one was not so enjoyable and I could definitely tell I was tired. Whether that was the light cold I'd been battling all week or still being worn from the weekend before, I don't know. I again ran a slow half but you know what - I finished it in good time.
So here's my total: 26.2 miles run between both weekends (not including running during the week), almost 5,000 calories burned in 2 days, and down a pound. Not too shabby!
I hope everyone else is doing well (YAY JULES!) and I hope everyone has a great week.
As for me, I'm headed back to the ice bag. Because tomorrow I'm running some more.
Love y'all,
Lisa

Way to go girl!
Hee hee - those types of activities remind you WHY you're doing what you're doing. The PAYOFF is greater that THE PAIN.
xoxox
You rock so hard.
WOW!! You have blown me away. I can't believe that you did two half marathons back to back. You motivate me!
Way to go girl, I'm so proud of you!!! : )
Good for you, Lisa. Wow. What can I say. Keep on keeping on.
