Running Mode...
Well, yesterday I didn't get to blog about my running but wanted to keep you updated on how I felt. When we were doing our warm-ups I felt my legs and body REALLY heavy. My meals were normal (nothing heavy). It took my body a while to get into the running mode but about half ways I was feeling a little better. Kevin asked me about my breathing techniques and honestly I have never put much practice into it so he suggested the breath, breath, breath out method. While we were running I was trying to focus on it and I think it helped. My goal is to try this method so I focus more on my breathing and get a rhythm (like Kevin said). At the end I felt much better and felt a little push to run a little harder since we started at an easy pace. I felt good and boy was it a work out. Yesterday was the first day that I felt a different tiredness in my body. Mike said that it is normal since I am in my base training. Today throughout the day I felt my body tired but as this moment it feels GOOD! It's so amazing to see the different stages that our body goes through. I will be ready to run tomorrow.

Mari,
We all understand the days of heavy legs and tired body. Many times, once you warm up the heaviness goes away. However, sometimes it sticks around the whole run. Just know we all feel that way. Remind me the next workout to look talk about the breathing. I think what Kevin is talking about is breathing techniques that sprinters use and I don't want to use those for distance. I may be wrong but lets look at that. Please remind me. You are such a dedicated runner, and for a beginner you show a lot of true grit. Keep it up, and great job on the blogging too.
I will remind you of the breathing techniques next Tuesday. Thank you for your support!!!
