Overtime is done once again, so the training started once again. LOL. I decided to go for a run today on my road. I figured I would shoot for 10 mins, walk for 5 then run for 8. I really didn't think I would be able to do that because of all the hills and I was right, but only partly. I did the 10 mins pretty easy. I found it hard at the 8 mins mark, but since I knew last time, I found it hard after 3 mins, I knew I could continue for the other 2 mins to get to 10. I probably could have ran another 1 or 2 mins, but didn't want to push it. I wanted to make sure I got a second run interval in. I then started my walk. I did stop for a few seconds and did a quick little stretch of my legs, but after about 2 1/2 mins I was starting to feel refreshed, but I decided to walk for a total of 4 mins then start running again. After 3 mins of running I was getting really tired. I knew I couldn't run for my 8 mins like I wanted to. The hills were really getting to me. I ended up stopping after 5 mins. I was really hoping to at least get to 6 mins, but I wasn't going to force myself and risk causing injury. I felt good tho that I did run for what I did on my road. 10 mins on a flat track was almost enough to do me in. I figure I ran for about 2 kms since I started my run shortly after I walked up that HUGE first hill and I turned around while running at my usual turn around point and didn't stop running until I hit my road again. When we clocked it, it is about 2 1/2 kms from our driveway to my turn around spot, so I took off 1/2km for walking (even tho I ran back to my road from the turn around spot). I figure by the time the Fiddler's get here, I should be able to do 10 mins intervals with a 1-2 mins walk inbetween. My walk is fast as well, so I shouldn't fall too far behind.
Is anyone bringing their water bottles to the run, or are we hoping they have a lot of water tables set up? I am thinking of trying to find a water bottle that I can strap to myself or something so I don't have to carry it and can easily reach it when I need it.

I am gonna take a water bottle with me to the run. If it is really warm, then I will run with it, but if it is cool, I am gonna do the run without it. The water stations should be enough for me. I ran yesterday for without water for 30 minutes for a total of 5k (additional walking at the end) and I was fine.
That's what I was thinking as well. I would take a water bottle incase I need it. Actually could you bring an extra one of your for me just incase? I can run with yours easier then mine since it has a "handle". I find the stainless steele water battle gets slippery if there is condensation on it and then I drop it which doesn't bode well for the bottle. LOL.
